Use of a pediatric stainless steel microaggregate screen filter to filter whole blood, gravity‐sedimented packed cells, and centrifuged packed cells (cPC) from 20 healthy adults resulted in excessive levels of hemolysis (to 1477.9 mg/dl plasma hemoglobin with 5‐day‐old cPC) and unacceptable frequency of occlusion (10 to 40 percent).
