Anyone out there have a manual washing procedure for 1/2 apheresis platelet? This comes up rarely but more than once for us... Mom has an anti-PLA1 platelet anitbody and donates a platelet for her baby. We need to wash away that antibody before transfusion. We are concerned volume reduction isn't good enough.

We use the COBE for washing whole units of rbcs and platelets normally.

Since this post was made last year I presume you now have a procedure for this. Would be good to share this.
