Description
Summary:Success of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collections depends on patient biological parameters and stable apheresis device performance. We investigated product quality and factors influencing main apheresis procedure outcomes including CD34+ collection efficiency (CE), product volume or platelet CE. We also assessed different CD34+ cell yield prediction algorithms. Autologous PBSC collections by Spectra Optia from myeloma and lymphoma patients were analyzed. Complete blood count (CBC) from patient preprocedure and from collected products were assessed. (1) Product yield was calculated, (2) Product CBC was correlated with patient preprocedure variables, and (3) Predictions of CD34+ yields based on (a) product CD34+ cell concentration in samples after two or four chamber flushes or (b) traditional CE2 benchmark, were compared. 62 procedures in 41 patients were analyzed. 84% of all procedures were run without operator intervention. Median CD34+ CE2 was 56.9% (48.8%‐65.2%) and quite stable irrespective of patient conditions, with minor influence from patient white blood cell (WBC) precounts (rs = –.47; P
