Abstract
A distributed computing system for managing blood processing procedures in a blood processing facility includes a system server, a plurality of computerized blood collection instruments, a network, a reception staff computer and an administrative level computer, with operations distributed among the various computing devices. The system server stores data identifiers for a plurality of different human operators. The computerized blood collection instruments collect blood components from donors to generate collected products and transmit real-time data regarding the blood collection instrument to the system server. The reception staff computer intakes donor data and uploads the donor data to the system server. The administrative level computer presents the donor data and the real-time data regarding the blood collection instruments on a display and receives assignments of different donors to different blood collection instruments from a human administrator.
