Per journal article "posttransfusion sepsis attributable to bacterial contamination in platelet collection set manufacturing facility, united states" by ian kracalik, et all.During (b)(6) 2022, we reviewed transfusion-transmitted sepsis cases in the united states attributable to polymicrobial contaminated apheresis platelet components, including acinetobacter calcoaceticus baumannii complex or staphylococcus saprophyticus isolated from patients and components.Transfused platelet components underwent bacterial risk control strategies (primary culture, pathogen reduction or primary culture, and secondary rapid test) before transfusion.Environmental samples were collected from a platelet collection set manufacturing facility.Seven sepsis cases from 6 platelet donations from 6 different donors were identified in patients from 6 states; 3 patients died.Cultures identified acinetobacter calcoaceticus baumannii complex in 6 patients and 6 transfused platelets, s.Saprophyticus in 4 patients and 4 transfused platelets.Whole-genome sequencing showed environmental isolates from the manufacturer were closely related genetically to patient and platelet isolates, indicating the manufacturer was the most probable source of recurrent polymicrobial contamination.Clinicians should maintain awareness of possible transfusion-transmitted sepsis even when using bacterial risk control strategies.Specific details, such as patient information and outcome, were not included in the article for these events, therefore this report is being provided as a summary of the events.Patient information is unknown at this time.The collection set is not available for return because it was discarded by the customer.
