Abstract
The claimed invention relates to a method and a device for processing blood concentrate products before they are exposed to a continued process for extracting those remaining medicinally interesting sub-components. The appropriate pre-processing, in relation to the invention, primarily entails a mechanically powered resolution of the viscous flowing concentrate products in a diluting solution for the adaptation of the total products for a renewed centrifuging. The device includes a centrifuge machine containing one or more suspended product bags that can be oscillated forwards and backwards in an incomplete pendulum swing by operation of a motor mounted in a lid of the machine. The product bag(s) are connected to a ring bag for subsequent processing and to a bag containing diluting solution by a multi-way connector.
