Leukocyte Reduction Review Checklist: General
"Recommendations and Licensure Requirements for Leukocyte-Reduced Blood Products", May 29, 1996 |
|
|
Use of validated or cleared device (Flow cytometry, Nageotte, Imagn) |
|
Criteria:
- < 5.0 x 10e6 WBC per container (plateletphereisis device claims are per collection)
- ≥ 85% recovery
- Platelets Pheresis (doubles and triples): When the collection rWBC count is ≥ 5.0 x 10e6, the device has failed to LR and a failure investigation should be initiated. Counting each of the "baby" bags and labeling as LR if the rWBC count < 5.0 x 10e6 is appropriate providing a failure investigation of the collection is completed.
|
|
Validation criteria: guidance does not address validation nor require it be submitted with application |
|
QC:
- 1% of collections for each product type, selected at random; if less than 400 per month, then 4 of each product type
- 100% compliance for labeling; we accept 95% compliance for testing
- Units should not be re-filtered (Trima allows-filtering of platelets flagged as > 5.0 x 10e6))
|
|
SOPs to include:
- Name of device manufacturer
- Additional QC per manufacturer
- Including method of investigation of QC failures
- Time period when LF is performed (consistent with manufacturers directions)
- Description of STCD use (not needed)
- Handling of units that do not meet criteria for labeling of LR
|
|
Other criteria consistent with manufacturers directions:
- Trima, Amicus, Spectra LRS Turbo 7.0 plateletpheresis: do not use filtration so residual WBC count QC is required; evidence of 85% component recovery is not.
- ALXY RBCs and Haemonetics MCS+9000 plateletpheresis with LN994CF filter are auto-filtered: residual WBC count is required, evidence of 85% component recovery is displayed by the device software
- Any other manufacturers post-filtration specifications are required to be included in an SOP; they may or may not be part of QC:
- Haemonetics MCS Plus LN 8150: mean RBCs ≥ 153 mL
- Trima: may include a minimum RBC volume 160 mL
|
|
Trima upgrades from 4.0 to 5.0, 5.01 and 5.1 affect plateletpheresis only; both improved count and leukocyte reduction. Other components may be approved without review of data. |
|
AABB standards for QC and validation:
- Mean Hgb of ≥ 51g or 153 mL per unit AND
- 95% Hgb > 42.5g or 128 mL per unit
|
|
Residual WBC limit of 5.0 x 10e6 is:
Per collection for plateletpheresis (see above exception for labeling)
Per unit for RBCs (including double RBCs) |

|
|
Calculation of blood volume in containers (container tare wts included in kit instructions; negligible volume of anticoagulant included)
- Total plasma in plasma container (mL):
- [Total container wt (g) – Container tare wt (g)]/ 1.03 g/mL
- Total product volume: Red cells and plasma in red cell container (mL):
- [Total container wt (g) – Container tare wt (g)]/ 1.08 g/mL
- Red cell content of red cell container = above value x 85%
- Whole blood in In-process container (mL):
- [Total container wt (g) – Container tare wt (g)]/ 1.05 g/mL
- Red cell content of In-process container = value above x donor Hct
- Total volume of red cell storage container (mL): weigh each container separately and: [Total container wt (g) – Container tare wt (g)]/ 1.06 g/mL
- Product Hgb = [Total product volume (mL) x sample Hgb (g/dL)]/100 mL

Haemonetics MCS Plus LN 8150
- Cleared for RBC and Plasma (using the LN 822 AS-3 Set) ; Double RBC (LR and non-LR); CP2D/AS-3 (using the LN 832 AS-3 Set or the LN 832F AS-3 Set)
|
|
Product specifications:
- Single and double RBCs (non-LR): total RBC volume is ± 15% of target
- 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:
- Storage at RT: filter within 8 hrs of venipuncture; 10- 25 minutes
- Storage at 1-6C: filtration within 72 hrs of venipuncture; 20 – 35 minutes
- Products that fail LR specs should be evaluated for residual WBC and % recovery
- > 85% recovery of RBC mass
|
|
Sampling and calculations:
- Sample must be collected from (distal portion of) RBC bag tubing
- Stripping, mixing, sampling and measurement should as soon as possible following each other
Non-LF RBC:
- Product weight = total product weight – empty bag
- Total volume (ml) = product wt(g)/1.058 (SG of 1.06 may be used)
- Absolute red cell volume: (Sample Hct/100) x product volume
LF RBC:
For prefiltration sampling procedure, use filtration harness which includes filter and RBC bags; for postfiltration use empty RBC bag
- Product weight = total product weight – empty bag
- Total volume (ml) = product wt(g)/1.058 (or 1.06)

|
|
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)
- LN 994F: filtration up to 1 hr post collection
Plasma: 500 mL donors under 175 lbs; 600 mL donors ≥ 175 lbs
