Evaluation of plasma and red cells obtained after leucocyte depletion of whole blood

We evaluated whole blood integral filtration to produce leucocyte‐depleted red cells and plasma by using the WBF1 whole blood filter (Pall Medsep). Whole blood units were filtered after either warm (2–4 h at room temperature) or cold (12–24 h at 4 °C) holds. Filtered and control units were processed...

Description
Summary:We evaluated whole blood integral filtration to produce leucocyte‐depleted red cells and plasma by using the WBF1 whole blood filter (Pall Medsep). Whole blood units were filtered after either warm (2–4 h at room temperature) or cold (12–24 h at 4 °C) holds. Filtered and control units were processed using either a bottom‐and‐top or top‐top method. Red cells were tested weekly for 6 weeks, and plasma 3 monthly for 12 months. All filtered red‐cell packs contained
