Abstract

"A military version of Haemonetics Corporation's Chairside Separatorr will be developed which meets or exceeds all of the U.S. Army requirements for blood collection and separation. The Chairside Separatorr is based on Haemonetics' Dynamic DiskTtechnology, which allows rapid collection and processing of blood in a very small package. In addition, faster and simpler methods of leukocyte reduction will be investigated to advance the state of the art in this area. The small, lightweight, andhighly automated Chairside Separatorr being developed for the civilian market already meets most of the requirements for use in a military environment.In the Phase I project, a simplified concept for leukocyte reduction will be defined and demonstrated on a "breadboard" set-up. An overall concept design for a military version of the Chairside Separatorr will be defined, incorporating the newleuko-reduction technology if appropriate. The optional effort, if approved, will define data transmission methods and protocols for military use of the device. The concept design and technology demonstration done during Phase I will be the basis ofprototype device development and submission for FDA approval in Phase II. (P-020017) Successful development of a military version of the Chairside Separatorr and simpler means of leukocyte reduction, will allow blood to be collected and processed more conveniently in a military environment. Meeting the U.S. Army d
