Investigation:the device history records (dhr) were reviewed for this lot.There were no events noted in the dhr that would have contributed to the elevated wbc count experienced by the customer.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Root cause: a definitive root cause for the observed leuko reduction failure remains undetermined at this time.The analysis of the run data file did not show a conclusive root cause for the higher than expected wbc content in the platelet product reported for this collection.There were no events (alerts, adjustments, changes in pump speed, substate changes, etc.) during the procedure that could have caused wbcs to escape from the lrs chamber.It is possible, though not conclusive that this leukoreduction failure is donor related.The trima accel device has software algorithms that use the rbc detector output to monitor and flag if a potential wbc saturation of the lrs chamber occurred, possibly triggering if wbc cells exiting the lrs chamber and potentially contaminate the platelet product.At all times during the procedure the test were in place, however the level of detection of wbcs escaping from the lrs chamber did not yet trigger one or more of the algorithms.
