Can't say I do. I can only guess it relates to medical treatment of some sort?

EDIT:Huh, I kinda guess right. Come to think of it, I have seen the word before when giving blood donation.

it's the process of taking someones blood, putting it through what is essentially a centrifuge to separate the different parts of blood, and then returns what isn't taken back into the person

if you ever donate like a specific thing of your blood, like white blood cells or plasma from blood, you've been hooked up to one of these machines

I thought it was something to do with a dialysis machine? Isn't that something they do with the blood?

Helly brought it home.

Seems like this is somewhat familiar territory for people who have donated blood. Now I wonder if using this term for story foreshadowing will be too on-the-nose...

I couldn't, though throughout my education people always said that my vocabulary tended (& continues to do so) to the ridiculously broad. Having said that, though, I've never been physically able to give blood.
