Comparison of Double RBC Collection by Blood Cell Separators.

CONCLUSION: DDRC collection can be performed safely and efficiently from both BCS. The quality of DDRC from both BCSs met the AABB and FDA standards. Donor safety, transfusion safety, and effectiveness were observed. Even though the production cost of DDRC was slightly higher than that of whole blood derived filtered RBC, DDRC was better in terms of quality, risk reduction for infectious agents, and RBC alloimmunization. Production of DDRC can also be helpful supplying special RBC such as group O, Rh D negative, and phenotyped RBC. PMID: 27455830 [PubMed - in process]
