Event Description
|
The customer would like the run data file investigated to determine a possible cause for the elevated white blood cell (wbc) content in the platelet product.There was not a transfusion recipient or patient involved at the time of the residual white blood cell (rwbc) testing, therefore no patient information is reasonably known at the time of the event.Donor unit #: (b)(6) the platelet collection set is not available for return because it was discarded by the customer.There is no patient involved for this event.Sex and weight are not applicable for this event and can not be removed due to a system limitation.

Investigation: the pre-donation cbc was analyzed on (b)(6) 2020, the day after the procedure was run (b)(6) 2020.The platelet count used for the procedure was a previous count (or average) and there as approximately a 7% difference in actual versus entered platelet count.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 4.65e3/ul which is within the normal range of 10e3/ul.The donor's platelet count is 429e3/ul which is on the higher end of the normal range.Root cause: based on the available information, the cause of the reported leukoreduction failure was due to a combination of the donor's elevated platelet precount and the more aggressive ramp up of the inlet pump.
