• Double RBCs with LR filter: mean ≥ 153 mL; 180 mL
• 180 mL per bag is default
• LN832F aborted procedures. If a second draw cycle begins and is subsequently aborted for any reason, 200 ml of AS-3 will be transferred to the reservoir bag. If the second draw cycle is aborted prior to the point that a second viable unit is likely, a manual transfer of 100 ml AS-3 may be performed after AS-3 insert “to the reservoir bag.” It is recommended that quality control be performed to assure that all RBC product criteria are met. If the venipuncture has displayed problems in the first cycle such as continuous poor flow and/or high pressure return problems, it is suggested that the procedure be aborted before the end of the first return cycle. This will result in the device transferring the 100 ml of AS-3, for a single unit of RBC. This unit may be transferred to a final RBC storage bag and labeled as an unlicensed apheresis-RBC product. It may be leukocyte reduced with sterile connection to an appropriate single unit leukoreduction filter, again as an unlicensed product. It is recommended that quality control be performed to assure that all RBC product criteria are met.

Product profile:

Platelets

• LN 994CF: immediate post-collection filtration; % recovery calculated by device. Platelets held in reservoir bag and filter is located between reservoir and storage bags. Per Sue Finneran, Regulatory Affairs Manager for Haemonetics during the last cycle while the donor is still attached to the machine the storage bags are lowered below the level of the reservoir bag and the product is allowed to begin filtration through the in-line filter. In addition with this set - CF = Continuous Filtration and continuous filtration does not require or permit a determination of whether or not there has been more than a 15% platelet loss during the leukoreduction process. Stated another way, the 85% platelet recovery standard is not applicable to leukocyte reduction by continuous filtration. (As cleared by DH under BK970034)
