Investigation: the disposable set was unavailable for return and investigation.He run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.The signals in the run data file indicate that the higher than expected wbc content in the platelet product was likely a result of an escape of wbcs from the lrs chamber during a portion of the procedure.Based on the available information, it cannot be ruled out that the higher than expected wbc content in the platelet product could be donor related.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.
