UNSPSC 41131611: Automated blood cell separator

In this classification, an automated blood cell separator is a device that uses a centrifugal or filtration separation principle to automatically withdraw whole blood from a donor, separate the whole blood into blood components, collect one or more of the blood components, and return to the donor the remainder of the whole blood and blood components. US FDA regulates Automated blood cell separator under 21 CFR 864.9245 and under FDA product code GKT.

UNSPSC 41131611 Automated blood cell separator is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers blood transfusion and separation equipment, including blood warmers, associated consumable bags, and specialized medical transport equipment used in emergency medical services and hospital transfusion workflows. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state emergency medical services boards and county health and emergency response departments. The code's scope reflects procurement of capital equipment and consumables that support blood handling, warming, and safe transport for transfusion procedures across multiple facilities and emergency transport operations.

Recent activity centers in California and Florida. The State of California Emergency Medical Services Board posted an IFB (RFBIS27200126) on August 24, 2026, with bids due September 9, 2026, for blood transfusion equipment under Measure B funding, specifying Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer systems, consumable bags, and T-SPEC Meret Bag G2 Pro X medical transport bags; CBE certification was mandatory for participation. A second opportunity from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB (ITB2600319) on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies, though this solicitation appears unrelated to the blood cell separator code's actual scope and likely reflects a tagging mismatch in the procurement system. The California solicitation is the more representative recent activity under this code.
