Interestingly I read there is still an issue with those kind of machines in medical use actually damaging the blood, that’s why you can only use them for a while on humans, and it’s basically not advisable to do it willy-nilly in treatment.
The reason I mention it is because in TV shows and such all treatments are perfect and have no long/forever lasting side-effects unlike reality, and since we the hack-interested parties are geeky I think we need to deal with reality; and finds hacks for it :)
Perhaps someone finds a way to do the same that’s even more neutral towards the fluids and the materials in the fluid.

when I donate platelettes they use the same kind of process so that they can change out the bags and tubes easily after each donation. One huge difference is that they use 3 bearings and have it set up in such a way that it provides an even flow instead of a spurty flow like he’s getting with only two.

Cool, but what requires those pumps to be laser cut? Looks like an end mill could do the job.

That’s the same way the pumps in heart/lung machines work.
