IV. BLOOD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS:CENTRIFUGATION
- 1.
- Load unit into centrifuge bucket, ensuring that the tubing stays in the top half of the bucket. When bags and tubing are positioned in the bucket, place the red blood cell filter in a horizontal position on top of the entire assembly and secure with tape, band, or Leukotrap® Strap.
- 2.
- Centrifuge at appropriate conditions to produce desired components.
V. BLOOD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS: PREPARING SET
Note:Prior to expression, ensure tubing between the Y-connector and the filter (non-numbered tubing) is clamped. For efficient processing, the tubing may be clamped prior to removing the unit from the centrifuge bucket.
- 1.
- Carefully remove the unit from the centrifuge and place the bag containing red cells in the plasma expressor.
- 2.
- Gently apply expressor pressure.
- 3.
- If not previously clamped, clamp the non-numbered tubing between the Y-connector and the filter.
- 4.
- Clamp tubing to extra satellite bag, if present.
VI. BLOOD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS: EXPRESSING PLASMA
- 1.
- Open snap-open closure of the bag containing red cells and express plasma or platelet-rich plasma into a satellite bag.
- 2.
- Stop expression by clamping or sealing the tubing leading to satellite bag(s) and release expressor pressure.
- 3.
- If not already sealed, seal tubing below the Y-connector leading to all satellite bags.* Detach and set aside the plasma or platelet-rich plasma for further processing.
Notes: If preparing a platelet concentrate, the platelet-rich plasma should be separated from the red blood cells within 8 hours after collection. If preparing Fresh Frozen Plasma, the plasma should be separated from the red blood cells and placed in the freezer at –18 °C or colder within 8 hours after blood collection. If preparing Plasma Frozen within 24 Hours after Phlebotomy, the plasma should be separated from the red blood cells and placed in the freezer at –18 °C or colder within 24 hours after blood collection.
VII. BLOOD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS: TRANSFERRING ADDITIVE
Note:The snap-open closure may be opened prior to hanging the bag containing the AS-3 additive solution for additive transfer, provided the non-numbered tubing between the bag containing the red cells and the filter is clamped.
- 1.
- Hang the bag containing the AS-3 additive solution so that the numbered tubing is fully extended and ensure the filter is in a vertical position and above the bag.
- 2.
- Open clamp or snap-open closure of the bag containing the AS-3 additive solution, and transfer to the bag containing red blood cells. Note: AS-3 additive solution should be added to the bag containing the red blood cells immediately after plasma or platelet-rich plasma removal.
- 3.
- Transfer AS-3 additive solution under one of the following conditions:
- A.
- Within 8 hours of collection if blood is held at room temperature.
- B.
- Within 72 hours of collection if blood is refrigerated after collection.
VIII. BLOOD FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
- 1.
- Clamp the non-numbered tubing prior to raising the bag containing red blood cells and AS-3 additive solution for mixing in order to avoid the introduction of air into the filter.
- 2.
- Mix red cells gently and thoroughly.
- 3.
- Hang the collection bag at one of the following heights:
- A.
- 60 ± 2 inches for blood stored and filtered at room temperature.
- B.
- 60 to 72 inches for blood stored and filtered at 1—6 °C.
- 4.
- Ensure filter is vertical and remove clamp to allow red blood cells to gravity flow through the filter and into the red cell storage bag. Notes: Do not apply mechanical or manual pressure to increase flow rate. Filtration can begin at room temperature up to 8 hours or at 1—6 °C up to 72 hours post-collection. If unit has not completely filtered by 8 hours post-collection at room temperature, filtration must be completed at 1—6 °C. Filtration at maximum head height may shorten filtration times. “Head height” is the distance from the top of the bag containing the blood to be filtered to the horizontal plane where the filtered blood bag rests. Filtration can be unattended. Filtration times can be influenced by collection and processing conditions and biological variability of donors. Experimental data with some filter products indicate that a prolonged filtration can be an indication of sub-optimal leukocyte reduction.
- 5.
- Filtration is complete when the collection bag is empty. To maximize red blood cell recovery, allow the tubing above the filter to empty.
- 6.
- Clamp and seal tubing below the filter.* The numbered tubing downstream of the filter will not drain. Notes: If the numbered tubing below the filter has drained (emptied) after filtration, it is recommended to perform a residual white blood cell count on the unit. Do not strip tubing prior to sealing the tubing below the filter. If it is desired to strip blood from numbered tubing, do so only after tubing has been sealed close to the filter and detached. If it is necessary to strip blood from numbered tubing, care should be taken when stripping is performed. Increased (mechanical) hemolysis has been associated with stripping when blood is cold and has a higher hematocrit. Do not strip forcefully or frequently against a snap-open closure.
- 7.
- Detach and discard collection bag and filter.*
- 8.
- If desired, seal at or adjacent to "X" marks on tubing to provide numbered segments of anticoagulated blood for typing or crossmatching.* If quality control is to be performed on post-filtration sample, use the attached QC line on the bag containing red cells.
- 9.
- Store CP2D/AS-3 preserved red blood cells at 1—6 °C for up to 42 days and use as indicated. Note: If AS-3 additive solution is not used, whole blood or red blood cells in CP2D alone may be stored at 1—6 °C for up to 21 days.
IX. QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
- Percent red cell recovery should be determined by following FDA Guidance entitled “ Guidance for Industry - Pre-Storage Leukocyte Reduction of Whole Blood and Blood Components Intended for Transfusion”, published in September 2012.
- During processing, always observe the following precautions:
- 1.
- Sealing should be done in a manner that avoids fluid splatter.
- 2.
- Always dispose of blood-contaminated products in a manner consistent with established BIOHAZARD safety procedures.
