Plasma exchange with plasma protein fraction and lactated Ringer's solution using the continuous flow cell separator.
Ten patients underwent 50-70 percent plasma exchanges using the continuous flow cell separator. The exchange material consisted of Plasma Protein Fraction (PPF) and Lactated Ringer's Solution (LRS) instead of fresh frozen, modified or lyophilized plasma. No bleeding or other complications were encountered. The coagulation factor activity after exchange was above that required for hemostasis. The procedure is safe, expeditious and efficient.

Causes of disqualification in a volunteer blood donor population.
The causes of disqualification in a volunteer blood donor population for a period of two years were analyzed. Of 138,436 prospective volunteer blood donors, 24,327 (17.6%) donors were disqualified. Phlebotomy was unsuccesful in 721 (0.5%) donors and blood was drawn from 113,388 (81.9%) eligible donors. The majority of rejections were due to medical history findings (61.0% of all rejections). The ten leading causes of disqualification were: low hemoglobin/hematocrit, medication, allergies, signs and symptoms, high blood pressure, illness in last month, hepatitis and hepatitis exposure, malaria and travel overseas, atypical antibodies, and high serum bilirubin. Hepatitis B surface antigen was detected in 82 donors out of 114.746 donors tested (0.07%).

Effect of hydroxyethyl starch on platelet function following granulocyte collection using the continuous flow cell separator.
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) was used as sedimenting agent in the course of granulocyte collection on seventeen normal donors, using the continuous flow cell separator (CFCS). No clinical bleeding was noted in any of the donors. In spite of a 21 per cent mean reduction in postcollection platelet count, all donors had platelet counts within normal limits precollection and postcollection. Postcollection platelet adhesiveness increased in five donors, remained the same in one donor and declined in ten donors. Except in one donor there was no change in previously normal platelet aggregation to adenosine diphosphate or collagen. In the dose used, 500 ml, the infusion of 6% hydroxyethyl starch as an adjunct to granulocyte separation using the continuous flow cell separator does not appear to adversely affect platelet number and function.
