Investigation: two photographs were submitted by the customer to aid the investigation.The photographs show a used trima accel cassette and platelet bags.A rbc spillover is evident in the platelet collect line and platelet bags - the platelets in the collect bag have a pink/red color.The platelet channel line clamp has been assembled onto the correct line and appears to be adequately occluding the platelet tubing.No damage to or molding defects on the clamp are visible.The run data file was analyzed for this event.The analysis of the run data file during the pas addition showed rbcs consistently passed the rbc detector from the beginning of the process.This can happen if one or more of the 3 channel clamps are left open or if partial occluded during the pas addition phase.If these clamps are not fully occluding the channel line, fluid from the channel containing rbcs and wbcs is pulled up and can enter the product bags, causing the product to turn pink or red.During the pas addition phase, the device monitors the correct closing of the channel line clamps.A ¿channel line clamp error¿ is generated when the device cannot verify that the channel lines are completely occluded.The verification during the addition phase is based on a change of the rbc detector reading.If the reading increases too much beyond the baseline, then a ¿channel line clamp error¿ alert is generated.The procedure is flagged for potential wbc contamination.Upon connection of the second pas bag, the device has not detected pas, therefore a ¿pas prime error¿ alert was generated.It is possible though not conclusive, the ¿pas prime error¿ alert may have been caused by: pas bag not connected correctly; pas bag frangible not broken correctly; pas line clamp not opened completely no further reporting will be provided as this does not represent a reportable event.It was confirmed that this was flagged for potential wbc contamination due to channel line clamps not closed during pas addition.
