title: [Efficiency of the blood cell separator Haemonetic 30 in the separation of platelets from single donors].
abstract: By means of the Haemonetic 30 separator we were able to collect 4.1 +/- 0.94 X 10(11) (X +/- 1 SD) platelets in 57 procedures consisting of 5-6 cycles. The platelet yield was significantly influenced by the blood volume processed and by initial platelet counts in donors. Augmenting platelet collection volume in the red colored part of the buffy-coat from 10-20 ml did not increase the yield. Transfusion of collected platelets into 27 non-sensitized patients showed normal recovery of 43% at one hour and shortening of bleeding time from over 30 min to a mean of 5 min 20 sec in 12 patients tested. Autotransfusion of 51Cr-labeled platelets into 8 healthy donors revealed identical recoveries (42 +/- 12%) and a normal survival time (9.2 +/- 0.7 days).
