1. A feed tube for a plasmapheresis centrifuge bowl comprising:
a tubular member extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular member having a flow path extending there through, the flow path configured to fluidly connect an inlet port on the plasmapheresis centrifuge bowl and an interior of the plasmapheresis centrifuge bowl; and
a first skirt member extending radially outward from the tubular member, the first skirt member having a first surface generally perpendicular to the tubular member and an angled surface extending radially outward and distally from the first surface, the entirety of the angled surface being smooth such that the angled surface is free from protrusions.
