determining an off-line measured yield value of said harvested

fifth means for generating said determined yield, said
fifth means utilizing at least in part an application of said
first calibration factor to said predicted yield value; and
sixth means for packaging said harvested blood components

REJECTION
Claims 13-15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first
paragraph, on the ground that the specification is non-
enabling.
OPINION
We have carefully considered all of the arguments
advanced by appellants and the examiner and agree with the
appellants that the aforementioned rejection is not well
founded. In our view, the examiner has failed to carry his
initial burden of establishing a prima facie case of non-
enablement based on the present record. Accordingly, the
above-noted rejection cannot be sustained.
