1. A method of collecting plasma, comprising:
introducing whole blood from a donor to a separator;
combining anticoagulant with the whole blood from the donor;
separating whole blood from the donor into a plasma product and a second blood component comprising red blood cells;
sending the plasma product to a plasma product collection container;
receiving input from an operator;
scanning a bar code associated with the donor; and
determining with a controller a total blood volume for the donor based at least in part on donor weight and donor height;
displaying on a touch screen a parameter which identifies the donor;
receiving a confirming user input via the touchscreen, and,
in response to the confirming user input, operating a plurality of draw and return phases to withdraw whole blood from a donor and separate the whole blood into the plasma product and the second blood component and to return the second blood component to the donor.
