title: [Quality control of leukocyte filtration of blood products].
abstract: Quality control of leucocyte depleted blood products has become a problem since the introduction of bedside leucocyte filtration. At our Blood Centre, this problem has been circumvented by testing a sample taken as the filtration is completed by sealing off a 10 cm piece of tubing just under the filter. We have tested four brands of erythrocyte filters, Pall RC100, Erypur Optima b, Sepacell R-200A and Sepacell R-500A(II) using two erythrocyte concentrates for each filter. We have tested two brands of thrombocyte filters, Pall PL100 with 6-8 thrombocyte concentrates, and Sepacell PL-5A with 2-6 concentrates. No transfusion should give more than 5 x 10(6) leucocytes. Pall PL100, Pall RC100 and Sepacell R-500A(II) met the criteria.
