1. A blood treatment system comprising, in combination:
a blood separation system configured to separate at least one blood component from blood; and
an adsorption device configured to receive at least a portion of said at least one blood component from the blood separation system, wherein
each of the blood separation system and the adsorption device includes a fluid flow element, with the fluid flow element of the blood separation system being configured for flowing said at least one blood component to a location and the fluid flow element of the adsorption device configured for flowing said at least a portion of said at least one blood component from said location into the adsorption device, and
the blood separation system includes a controller programmed to control the fluid flow element of the blood separation system based at least in part on one or more characteristics of said location.
