Fig 6 — The Angel System. (A) The bone marrow aspirate will be injected in the rightmost bag (whole blood in), and the automated process will start dividing the different blood components. First the platelet-poor plasma (PPP) will be discarded in the leftmost bag (PPP out). Then the bone marrow concentrate (BMC) will be collected in the syringe on top of the system, and finally the red blood cells (RBCs) will be collected in the bag in the middle. The length of this process depends on the quantity of bone marrow aspirate used. In this case, it was approximately 17 minutes for 60 mL of aspirate. (B) The syringe with the harvested bone marrow is screwed in, and the bone aspirate is injected in the rightmost bag; the centrifugation process is about to start.
