1. A method of collecting plasma from a donor, comprising:
receiving parameters over a network from a remote computer at a controller local to a plasma collection device, the plasma collection device having a touch screen user input device;
receiving a user input at the touch screen to confirm the donor based at least in part on at least one of the parameters;
determining a target volume for plasma product and/or raw plasma based at least in part on at least one of the parameters; and
in response to confirming the donor, controlling the plasma collection device to draw whole blood from the donor, combine anticoagulant with the whole blood, separate the whole blood into a plasma product and a second blood component comprising red blood cells, send the plasma product to a plasma product collection container, and return the second blood component to the donor.
