In order to prevent bacterial contamination during the procedure of plateletapheresis, preconnected platelet-rich plasma (PRP) packs were prepared which include the apheresis bowl of a plasma collecting system (Haemonetics) with a 16G needle and a 0.6- and 1-liter double-bag system. The anticoagulant line of the PRP pack and that from the bag containing acid-citrate-dextrose formula A solution were welded by a sterile connection device (SCD model 312, DuPont). No additional care was needed to perform plateletapheresis with the present closed system. Platelet concentrates (PCs) stored in 1-liter bags made of polyvinyl chloride plastics with a plasticizer of either di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or tri (2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate were demonstrated to be sterile. The pH of PCs was maintained over 6.8 after 5-day storage. Preliminary studies suggest that the present closed system using the preconnected PRP pack and sterile connection device will be useful for reducing the risk of bacterial contamination in platelet products during single-donor plateletapheresis.

New closed system using a sterile connection device and preconnected PRP pack for extended storage of apheresis platelet products.
