A system and method are used in connection with processing of blood
components. The processing of blood components may involve centrifugal
separation and/or filtering of the blood components. In some examples, at
least some blood components are centrifugally separated in a chamber and
then filtered via a filter rotating along with a centrifuge rotor,
wherein the filter is located closer than the chamber to an axis of
rotation of the rotor. The filter may include a porous filtration medium
configured to filter leukocytes, platelets, and/or red blood cells. Some
examples include a pressure sensor sensing pressure of pumped blood
components. The sensed pressure may be used in connection with
controlling the pumping of the blood products and/or in connection with
determining the location of an interface associated with the blood
products. Other uses of the sensed pressure are also possible.
