Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: 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 find a conclusive cause for the higher-than-expected wbc content reported in the rbc product for this collection.No unusual process variable was identified and the signals in the run data file indicate that the trima accel system operated as intended.Based on the available information, it is possible that the filter was unloaded from the filter bracket and loaded again during rbc collection or rbc additive solution addition, which could have a similar affect to "squeezing" the filter when using a gravity drain system.It is also possible that the reported results could be attributed to an issue with the filter.

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 red blood cell (rbc) 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 rbc collect set is not available for return because it was discarded by the customer.
