I Live In Mexico City and I've been working with GambroBCT for 4 years. The problem that you mention (Baxter CS3000 going out of market) is also happening in this country. CS3000 customers are now switching to Spectra or Trima Accel machines (depending on the Blood Bank). For platelet collections the best option is Trima Accel (short donation time, low extracorporeal volume 196ml, and you can collect platelets, red cells and plasma from the same donor in case you need it). In case you need additional info, I can give you more details regarding the distributor in Guatemala. www.gambrobct.com www.caridianbct.com
