  • Title: Plateletpheresis: a comparative study of six different protocols.
    Author: Puig L, Mazzara R, Gelabert A, Castillo R.
    Journal: J Clin Apher; 1986; 3(2):129-32. PubMed ID: 3700355.
    Abstract:
    Six different protocols were employed in 710 plateletpheresis employing Haemonetics 30, Fenwal CS-3000, IBM 2997 dual stage channel, IBM 2997 single-stage channel, and Haemonetics V-50 "surge pump" method. When Haemonetics 30 and IBM 2997 single-stage channel procedures were used, 5.4 to 5.9 X 10(11) platelets were collected with significant leukocyte contamination (10.8 to 11.6 X 10(9)). With Fenwal CS-3000, dual-stage channel of IBM 2997 and Haemonetics V-50 "surge pump" there was less leukocyte contamination in concentrates (0.3 to 0.9 X 10(9)) as well as a lower platelet yield (3.4 to 4.3 X 10(11)). No difference in yield was observed when plateletpheresis was performed with ACD-A or ACD-B employing the single-stage channel of IBM 2997. Paresthesias was the most frequently seen side effect in donors, with a higher incidence when using ACD-A and IBM 2997.
