A tubing set for use with a blood handling system is described that decreases the priming volume and surface area of the blood handling circuit, lowering the risk of hemodilution, platelet activation, and hemolysis. A heat treatment is performed in an atmosphere containing a halogen element to remove the metal element by gettering. The mounting support, the main ladder support and the torsion support are pivotally connected so that the apparatus can be raised from a retracted home position to an extended position. Such vibratory motion can be controlled in accordance with pre-stored data, or a random process can be employed. Based on an analysis of the relativity metrics of the origin process and the destination process, the message handling application determines whether to forward the message to the destination process. The microcontroller has an inputoutput means connectible both to a preselected voltage level for switching said control circuit between an operational mode and a shutdown mode and to an external processing means for enabling downloading and display of said data.
