This report is being filed to provide additional information in h.6 and h.11.Investigation: a disposable complaint history search was performed for this lot and found zero further reports for a similar issue on this lot.According to aabb technical manual 20th edition, adverse reactions can occur at the time of donation or after the donor has left the blood center.In a comprehensive donor hemovigilance program reported by the american red cross, adverse reactions were reported for wb collections (349 in 10,000), plateletpheresis (578 in 10,000), and double rbc unit collections (538 in 10,000), the vast majority of which were minor presyncopal reactions and small hematomas.Serious adverse reactions were slightly more common for wb collections (7.4 in 10,000) compared with plateletpheresis (5.2 in 10,000) and double rbc unit collections (3.3 in 10,000).Reactions that needed medical care after the donor left the donation site occurred in roughly 3 in 10,000 donations.A population based european study found the rate of complications leading to long-term morbidity or disablement to be 0.5 in 10,000 donations and 0.23 in 10,000, respectively.A review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Root cause: a root cause assessment was performed for the allergic reactions.Based on the available information a definitive root cause could not be determined but it is likely due to one or a combination of the possible causes listed below: * hypersensitivity to the ethylene oxide used to sterilize the disposable set.* hypersensitivity to the components inside the disposable set.
