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 bloodcell testing, therefore no patient information is reasonably known at the time of the event.(b)(6) the disposable kit is not available for return, because it was discarded by the customer.This product is not available within the us, but this report is being filed due to a alleged failure that could occur on a similarly marketed device platform cleared for use by the fda.

Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: the device history records (dhr) were reviewed for this lot.There were no events noted in the dhr that would have contributed to the elevated wbc count experienced by the customer.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Root cause: a definitive root cause for the observed leukoreduction failure remains undetermined at this time.The analysis of the run data file did not show a conclusive root cause for the higher than expected wbc content in the platelet product reported for this collection.The run was event free, with no adjustments or changes in pump speed made during the procedure that could have caused the onset of the lrs chamber.It is possible that this leukoreduction failure is donor- related.
