A blood component removal system that facilitates mounting of a blood processing chamber on a channel coupled to a centrifuge rotor is provided. A blood treatment channel (208) provided in a channel housing (204) connected to a centrifuge rotor (568) of a blood component removal system (2) comprises a blood inlet (224, 388) and an RBC outlet (276). , 516) and a first cell separation stage (312) and at least one other stage (316). The ratio of the volume of at least one other stage (316) of the channel (208) to the volume of the first cell separation stage (312) should be removed through the RBC outlet (272, 516). The liquid desired hematocrit is less than one-half less than the ratio of the liquid to be introduced through the blood inlet (224,388) to the desired hematocrit. [Selection] Figure 9 |
