What changed

This document is a USPTO patent application (US20260083885A1) for a plasma donation system. The proposed method involves receiving donor and demographic information to determine a target plasma volume and a tailored collection protocol. This protocol includes adjustable collection and process parameters that can be modified based on donor data. The system then performs the plasma collection procedure, which comprises draw and return cycles.

As this is a patent application, it does not impose immediate regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on regulated entities. However, it signals potential future technological advancements in plasma collection that may influence medical device development and healthcare practices. Companies involved in medical device manufacturing or plasma collection services should be aware of this patent filing as it may impact future product development and intellectual property landscapes.

Abstract

A method for collecting plasma includes receiving donor information and demographic information and determining a target volume of plasma to collect based, at least in part, on the received donor information. The method also determines a plasma collection protocol based, at least in part, on the received donor information. The plasma collection protocol has a plurality of collection parameters and a plurality of process parameters. The method may then adjust at least one of the plurality of collection parameters and/or the plurality of process parameters based on the donor information and/or the demographic information. The method also performs a plasma collection procedure according to the determined plasma collection protocol and adjusted collection parameters and/or process parameters. The plasma collection procedure has a plurality of draw cycles and a plurality of return cycles.
