A confined air tube (44) is intended to be placed into an in-line communication with the transfer tubing (36) of a blood processing system (30). The confined air tube provides an incremental volume of air, which keeps the transfer tubing from collapsing, and sticking together during heat sterilization. After sterilization, the confined air tube accommodates conveyance of a blood component into an associated downstream transfer container (34). The confined air tube can also receive air vented from the transfer container, so that the blood component can undergo further processing or be stored in an air-depleted environment within the transfer container.
L'invention concerne un tube d'air (44) confiné destiné à être disposé en communication en ligne avec le tube (36) de transfert d'un système (30) de traitement du sang. Le tube d'air confiné permet l'apport d'un volume d'air incrémental, ce qui empêche au tube de transfert de s'écraser et à ses parois de se coller lors de la stérilisation à chaud. Après la stérilisation, le tube d'air confiné permet l'écoulement d'un composant sanguin vers un récipient (34) de transfert aval associé. Le tube d'air confiné peut également recevoir de l'air en provenance du récipient de transfert, de manière que le composant sanguin puisse être facilement traité ou stocké dans un environnement appauvri en air à l'intérieur du récipient de transfert.
