title: [Filtration of platelet concentrates. Technical aspects, quantitative results. Group PSL].
abstract: This work summarizes a multicentric study (20 Blood Transfusion Centers) concerning the use of different filters applied to platelet collection. The results are good with the different filters and platelets concentrates evaluation. Nevertheless, we have seen a great heterogeneity of platelet concentrates. This characteristic could explain the variability in filter performances. Maybe we have to adapt some type of filter with specific platelet concentrates. In conclusion, it is important to continue the evaluation of new platelet concentrate filters, in order to increase the performances and the filtration quality. Clinical trials seem to be useful in the future to appreciate the effects of filtered platelets on alloimmunization and CMV transmission.
