Viability and function of 8-day-stored apheresis platelets.

BACKGROUND: Methods of bacterial detection and pathogen inactivation of platelets (PLTs) may allow extended storage of PLTs as long as PLT quality is maintained. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty normal volunteers had their PLTs collected with an apheresis machine (Haemonetics Corp.). A variety of in vitro PLT function and metabolic assays were performed both on Day 0 and after 8 days of storage. On Day 8, a small blood sample was drawn from each donor to obtain fresh PLTs. The fresh and stored autologous PLTs were labeled with either (51)Cr or (111)In, and the radiolabeled PLTs were transfused. Posttransfusion serial blood samples were drawn to determine the relative posttransfusion recoveries and survivals of the fresh versus the stored PLTs. RESULTS: Although the in vitro assays showed some differences between the two trial sites, the results were generally within the ranges expected for fresh and stored PLTs. Overall, PLT recoveries averaged 66 +/- 16 percent versus 53 +/- 20 percent and survivals averaged 8.5 +/- 1.6 days versus 5.6 +/- 1.6 days, respectively, for fresh compared to 8-day-stored PLTs. There were no significant differences in the in vivo PLT data between the trial sites or based on the radiolabel used for the measurements. CONCLUSION: After 8 days of storage, the in vivo posttransfusion recovery and survival of autologous Haemonetics apheresis PLTs meet the proposed standards for poststorage PLT quality.

Automation of the glycerolization of red blood cells with the high-separation bowl in the Haemonetics ACP 215 instrument.

BACKGROUND: The FDA has approved a closed-system red blood cell (RBC) glycerolization procedure with the ACP 215 (Haemonetics), which requires a centrifuge to prepare RBCs before and after glycerolization. In the study reported here, the Haemonetics high-separation bowl was evaluated in an attempt to automate these two concentration steps. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Ten units of nonleukoreduced citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD)-anticoagulated whole blood were stored at 4 degrees C for 2 to 6 days before glycerolization and freezing as nonrejuvenated RBCs. Twenty-five units of nonleukoreduced CPD whole blood were stored at 4 degrees C for 2 to 8 days and then biochemically treated with a solution containing pyruvate, inosine, phosphate, and adenine (PIPA) before glycerolization and freezing as indated-rejuvenated RBC. Twenty units of leukoreduced CPD and AS-1 RBCs were stored at 4 degrees C for a mean of 48 days and treated with PIPA solution before glycerolization and freezing as outdated-rejuvenated RBCs. The glycerolized RBCs were frozen for at least 2 weeks at -80 degrees C, deglycerolized in the Haemonetics ACP 215 with the 325-mL bowl, and stored in AS-3 at 4 degrees C for 21 days. RESULTS: It took approximately 50 minutes to glycerolize the nonrejuvenated and rejuvenated RBCs. After freezing, deglycerolization, and postwash storage at 4 degrees C in AS-3 for 2 weeks, the quality was similar to that of RBCs processed by the current FDA-approved method. CONCLUSION: Processing time and need for technical expertise were significantly reduced with the completely automated functionally closed glycerolization procedure with the high-separation bowl in the Haemonetics ACP 215 instrument.

Extended storage of AS-1 and AS-3 leukoreduced red blood cells for 15 days after deglycerolization and resuspension in AS-3 using an automated closed system.

BACKGROUND: The utilization of cryopreserved red blood cell (RBC) units had been limited by a maximum postdeglycerolization storage of 24 hours at 1 to 6 degrees C until the recent development of a closed system for the glycerolization and deglycerolization process. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Sixty leukoreduced additive solution (AS), AS-1 (n = 30) and AS-3 (n = 30) RBC units from 500-mL whole blood (WB) collections were stored for 6 days, glycerolized, frozen at -70 +/- 5 degrees C for at least 14 days, thawed, deglycerolized, and stored for 15 days at 1 to 6 degrees C. Glycerolization and deglycerolization were performed with the ACP 215. In-vitro variables were tested before glycerolization, on Day 0, and Day 15 after deglycerolization storage. Forty donors were assessed for double-label 24-hour percent recovery, and T1/2 survival time was measured for 20 donors. RESULTS: Postdeglycerolization mean +/- standard deviation in-vitro RBC mass recoveries were 93 +/- 5 percent for AS-1 and 95 +/- 4 percent for AS-3. Mean hemoglobin +/- standard deviation after deglycerolization was 50.5 +/- 5.5g for AS-1 and 50.1 +/- 3.5g for AS-3. Mean hemolysis (Day 15) was 0.36 +/- 0.11 percent for AS-1 and 0.38 +/- 0.13 percent for AS-3. Double-label 24-hour in-vivo recoveries were 82.5 +/- 7.8 percent for AS-1 and 81.4 +/- 7.1 percent for AS-3. The 51Cr T1/2 value was 41.8 +/- 3.97 for AS-1 and 40.6 +/- 7.11 for AS-3. Other in-vitro variables were as expected. CONCLUSION: Leukoreduced AS-1 and AS-3 RBCs after frozen storage at -70 +/- 5 degrees C can be stored for up to 14 days when processing is performed with the ACP 215 system with resuspension of deglycerolized RBCs in AS-3.
