Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information in b.5, b.6, h.6 and h.10.Investigation: the customer provided donor tracking information including donor cbc results to aid in the investigation.The donor cbc confirmed the following: - the donor's wbc is 4.41e3/ul which is within the normal range of 10e3/ul.Root cause: based on the available evidence the cause of the leukoreductions failure was an operator error in which the collect line was closed for the first 40 minutes of the procedure.When the bag is clamped the platelet bed in the lrs chamber may not achieve the expected thickness and separation due to cellular back-up.Then when the clamp is opened the wbcs may escape with the platelets.Correction: retraining was provided to the customer on (b)(6) 2020.No further correction is recommended for this specific reported incident.
