Investigation: the run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event. a root cause assessment was performed for this complaint.A definitive root cause for the donor's reaction could not be determined from dlog analysis. the available information indicates that the donor¿s actual height and weight were 163 cm and 81 kg, respectively; however, the operator entered 170 cm and 80 kg into the system.As a result, trima accel used a calculated total blood volume that was 3.80% higher than the donor¿s actual total blood volume.Review of the run data file showed that the platelet valve opened at 9 minutes and platelets exited as expected.The trima accel device reported a total ac volume of 326 ml: 227 ml returned to the donor, 81 ml in the platelet product, 5 ml in the plasma product, and 13 ml remaining in the kit.Due to the aborted plasma rinseback, approximately 13% of the donor¿s actual total blood volume was collected as product volume or remained as residual blood in the tubing kit.Run data file analysis indicated that all monitored signals were within expected ranges and that the device operated within its defined safety limits. based on clinical feedback,possible causes for the alleged reaction include but are not limited to donor's physiology and/or donor's sensitivity to the procedure.A review of the device history record (dhr) for this lot showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Investigation is in process, a follow-up report will be provided.
