16405
Apheresis system (An assembly of electrically-powered devices designed for the extracorporeal separation and removal of a constituent of whole blood (e.g., plasma, platelets, leukocytes) and pathogens, and the return of the remaining constituents to the patient. It typically includes pumps to circulate the blood and uses methods such as membrane filtration, centrifugation, adsorption, or a combination of these to separate the constituent from the blood. The system may be used therapeutically (e.g., to remove immune complexes or low density lipoproteins) or for the harvesting of blood constituents (e.g., for HLA-matched platelets or fresh frozen plasma).)
