Autologous Biologic Processing
Autologous Processing, Organized at the Point of Care.
Evologics provides point-of-care systems, disposable processing kits and aspiration components for preparing platelet-rich plasma and concentrated bone marrow aspirate from a patient’s own biologic material.
- Autologous source material
- Blood and bone marrow workflows
- Automated centrifugation
- Closed processing pathway
- Single-patient disposables
- Aspiration and processing kits
Defining the terms
BMA, BMAC and PRP are related, but not interchangeable
All three begin with the patient’s own material. Their source, composition, collection method and processing workflow differ.
- BMABone Marrow Aspirate
- Bone marrow aspirate is fluid collected from the patient’s bone marrow through an aspiration needle.
- BMAC or cBMAConcentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate
- BMAC or cBMA is prepared by processing bone marrow aspirate to concentrate selected cellular and plasma components according to the device’s labeled workflow.
- PRPPlatelet-Rich Plasma
- PRP is prepared by processing autologous whole blood to separate and concentrate platelets within a plasma fraction.
The platform
From aspiration to prepared autologous material
The Evologics autologous portfolio includes equipment and disposable components for collection, centrifugation, separation and transfer at the point of care.
Automated Processing System
A microprocessor-controlled centrifugation platform designed to process autologous blood or bone marrow aspirate according to the selected disposable kit and current device labeling.
Bone Marrow Concentration Kit
A single-patient processing kit containing the disposable components required for a bone-marrow-aspirate workflow.
BMA Kit with Lightning Needle
A kit configuration that incorporates the Lightning Needle for clinician-directed bone marrow aspiration.
PRP Kit
A single-patient disposable kit for processing autologous whole blood and preparing platelet-rich plasma according to the labeled workflow.
Lightning Aspiration Needle
A bone marrow aspiration cannula designed for powered insertion using a compatible orthopedic drill and adapter.

Workflow
A coordinated point-of-care process
The exact workflow depends on the selected kit and current Instructions for Use.
- 01
Collect
Collect autologous whole blood or bone marrow aspirate using the indicated components and aseptic technique.
- 02
Transfer
Introduce the collected material into the single-patient disposable processing set.
- 03
Process
Run the device according to the selected protocol, input volume and desired labeled output.
- 04
Separate
The system separates blood or marrow components through controlled centrifugation.
- 05
Recover
Recover the prepared fraction using the components supplied with the processing kit.
- 06
Document
Complete all device, lot, procedural and patient documentation required by the facility.
System characteristics
Processing built around control and reproducibility
Automated operation
The processing system uses a programmed centrifugation workflow rather than manual tube balancing and visual separation alone.
Closed fluid pathway
Single-patient disposables create a contained pathway for collection, processing and recovery when assembled and operated according to the Instructions for Use.
Variable input and output
The underlying Magellan platform is designed to process defined input volumes and provide user-selected output volumes within the device’s labeled range.
Multiple cycles
Current manufacturer information describes the ability to perform up to three processing cycles with one disposable set for the same patient.
Workflow-specific kits
Separate disposable configurations support blood-based PRP workflows and bone-marrow-aspirate workflows.
What the system does
Preparation is not the same as a treatment claim
The system processes autologous blood or bone marrow aspirate into separated or concentrated fractions according to the device labeling.
The device’s processing function should be described separately from any clinical decision about where or how the resulting material is used.
Treatment selection, delivery technique and evaluation of available clinical evidence remain the responsibility of the qualified healthcare professional.
FAQ
Common BMA and PRP questions
What is the difference between PRP and BMAC?
PRP begins with peripheral whole blood and concentrates platelets within plasma. BMAC begins with bone marrow aspirate and concentrates selected marrow and blood components.
Are these donor products?
No. The source material is collected from and returned to the same patient within the applicable clinical workflow.
Is the system automated?
Yes. The processing platform uses an automated centrifugation and separation workflow.
Is the disposable set reusable?
No. Processing and aspiration kits are supplied for a single patient and should not be reused or reprocessed.
What is the Lightning Needle?
The Lightning Needle is an aspiration cannula designed to assist bone marrow collection and to permit powered insertion using a compatible drill and adapter.
Does FDA clearance mean that PRP or BMAC is proven to treat every orthopedic condition?
No. Device clearance applies to the specific intended uses and technological functions described in the cleared labeling. It does not establish effectiveness for every condition, procedure or method of clinical delivery.
Where can a facility obtain the exact device labeling?
Evologics can provide the current Instructions for Use, device information, kit specifications and facility-review documentation.
Keep device function and clinical use clearly separated
The processing system, disposable kits and aspiration components are medical devices. Their indications, operating parameters, warnings, contraindications and permitted claims are controlled by the current manufacturer labeling.
Any reference to FDA clearance should identify the exact device, manufacturer and applicable 510(k) record. Website content should not use terms such as “stem-cell treatment,” “regenerates cartilage,” “heals injuries” or similar therapeutic outcome language unless expressly supported by the applicable regulatory status and high-quality clinical evidence.
Current Instructions for Use and controlled device labeling govern if any website description differs from the controlled product documents.
