line being connected to the inlet of a blood centrifugation cell, and
branches of the first line being (i) connected to a red blood cell
container, (ii) provided with a coupling, and (iii) being suitable to be
connected to the patient; a second line connected to the outlet of a
blood centrifugation cell and two branches of the second line being
provided with two couplings; and a third line and a second pump, the
third line being connected to the first line in an intermediate position
