title: Effectiveness of the Trima Accel cell separator in the double dose plateletpheresis.
abstract: The use of apheresis equipment to collect blood components has rapidly increased in the past years. A variety of apheresis instruments are now available on the market for double dose plateletpheresis. We evaluated an apheresis instrument, the Trima Accel, with regard to platelet (PLT) yield, collection efficiency (CE), and collection rate (CR) in a retrospective, randomized study in 110 donors. The Trima Accel cell separator efficiently collected double dose platelets with median PLT yields of 3.7 × 1011, mean CE of 74.99 ± 14.40% and mean CR of 0.096 ± 0.012 × 1011/min.
