Device, system and method embodiments are disclosed herein which provide for the production of a modified autologous platelet solution at the patient bedside for contemporaneous reinjection to the patient. In certain embodiments all of the steps including, but not limited to blood draw, platelet lysis, solution preparation and reinjection to a patient may be accomplished in a single office or clinic visit without relocating the patient. Accordingly, the apparatus, devices and systems disclosed herein generally include a substantially stand-alone machine, device or system which is configured to accept a platelet containing solution, induce lysis of one or more platelet bodies within the platelet containing solution and provide the resulting modified platelet solution in a manner suitable for injection into the patient. |
