Greeting for All of you blood bank lover

I am doing validation on TERUMO Blood bag system with integral whole blood leukocyte reduction filter but until now I couldn't find Satisfactory results for the platelets count and the plasma volume even when I followed The AABB Technical manual parameters for adjusting our refrigerated centrfuges.It is either normal platelets counts but low plasma volume or visa versa .So can any one share with me the centrifuge parameters you are using to get good yield of both plts and plasma volume.

My second technical question is how to do validation on blood collection mixers.

Thank you very much for all of your feedback

Your centrifuge vendor might have possible settings to try. I always started from there BUT then you have to adjust and try different settings to obtain optimal yields . . . a long, long process.

I can't believe it only one reply

thank you David for your reply .I know it is a very long process that's why I want to make it little bit shorter if anyone using the same (thermoscintific centrifuge) give the parameters they are using so that I can start from it as guide and then I will continue the adjusting until I reach the optimal yield .

May no body want to help:rolleyes:

Well, I view every post but I know nothing about setting centrifuges for platelet yields. As you can see, I have no useful information but I have replied.

I agree with Dave, the company and your plant engineers should take care of this.

For the validation of your blood collection mixers, your supplier should have weights that you can purchase. Then you validate those on your already validated Mettler balance. and it goes on.

Love it!
