This report is being filed to provide additional information in h.6 and h.10 investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Root cause: although the system has several methods for detection of wbc contaminations, some events may elude the detection capability of the trima accel system.The following events can occur during the procedure and may contribute to elevated wbc content in the platelet product that the system cannot always detect.A majority of the time, these events will not contribute to elevated wbc content: ¿ multiple alerts or flow adjustments that stop/slow the pumps, disrupting the steady-state collection process ¿ large discrepancy in entered versus actual donor information ¿ plasma line occlusion or air block that was not large enough to be detected by the system ¿ if the configured platelet concentration during collection is above approximately 3500e3/ul, it is possible that an inaccurate platelet yield scaling factor (ysf) configuration can cause the platelet concentration to exceed the lrs chamber holding capacity due to collecting a higher than expected platelet yield additionally, it is possible that the cause is related to donor specific blood characteristics that may challenge the trima leukoreduction system, including, but not limited to: a higher donor bmi, a donor pre-wbc count that is above the trima accel system expectation, larger than average donor platelet size, and/or smaller than average donor wbc or rbc size.
