1. A system for collecting plasma, comprising:
a blood separator configured to separate whole blood into a plasma product and a second blood component comprising red blood cells, the blood separator having a plasma output port coupled to a plasma line configured to send the plasma product to a plasma product collection container;
a donor line fluidly configured to introduce the whole blood from the donor to the separator;
an anticoagulant line coupled to an anticoagulant source, the anticoagulant line configured to combine anticoagulant with the whole blood from the donor;
a touchscreen configured to receive input from an operator;
a scanning device configured to scan a bar code associated with the donor; and
a controller configured to control operation of the system, the controller to determine a total blood volume for the donor based on donor weight, donor height and donor gender, to display on the touch screen a parameter which identifies the donor, to receive a confirming user input via the touchscreen, and, in response to the confirming user input, to control the system to operate 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.
