Background: The yields of plateletpheresis products are important to meet standard platelet transfusion doses. The use of single donor platelets (SDPs) has been increased substantially worldwide. Korean Red Cross decided to supply and started collection of SDPs since January, 2000. This study evaluates platelet yields of plateletpheresis and plasmapheresis of Korean Red Cross Nambu blood center.
Methods: The records for SDPs collected by Amicus(TM) (Baxter, Deerfield, IL, USA), MCS+ (Haemonetics, Braintree, MA, USA) and Trima (Gambro BCT, Lakewood, USA) between Jan. 2005 and Nov. 2005 were evaluated. The records for plasma collected by Autopheresis-C(TM) (Baxter,Deerfield, IL, USA), MCS(TM), PCS 2 (Haemonetics, Braintree, MA, USA) between Jan. 2005 and Nov. 2005 were also evaluated.
Results: Platelet yields of SDP less than 3 x 10(11) accounted for 6.45% of all collections. The rate of SDPs which platelet yields less than 3 x 10(11) collected by AMICUS is 4.84%, MCS+ is 7.72%, TRIMA is 7.01%. The rate of plasmapheresis products under the criteria is 0.7%. Plasma collected with Autopheresis-C(TM) made a concern about break down of filtration pore and occuring of hemolysis during apheresis procedures.
Conclusion: Platelet yields less than 3 x 10(11) accounted for 6.45% of all collections. The rate of plasmapheresis products under the criteria is 0.7%. This study demonstrated that qualfied management and thorough understanding of the plataletpheresis technology are necessary to increase productivity of SDPs with platelet yields 3x1011 or over.
