Final Return Phase
After the target plasma collection volume has been reached, the
instrument initiates the final return phase and the final red cell
collection.
During the final return phase, the instrument automatically
returns the excess blood components to the donor. The
instrument then rinses portions of the kit with saline to decrease
the amount of cells remaining in the kit.
