Caution:
Actual performance results may vary depending on many in-use
variables.
Haemonetics recommends using the following RBC product criteria for quality
control procedures. Criteria are based on Haemonetics Default and standard
fat reduction protocol settings in laboratory performance with 10% hematocrit
blood pools.
Laboratory testing of the 225 mL bowl using Haemonetics Default settings
yielded the blood product quality results listed in the table below. Test results
are based on two-cycle procedures processing 10% hematocrit test pools.
Lysate and heparin were added to measure constituent washout. Results are
listed below for test pools prepared both with and without lysate. Mean values
are reported alongside standard error of the mean. Results may vary
depending on in-use variables.
*Fat reduction performance is applicable for the Fat Reduction setting.
