Indicated for the collection and pre-storage leucocyte removal of whole blood, and subsequent preparation of red cells and plasma
High efficiency filtration, providing consistently low residual leucocytes
Rapid filtration
Filtration performance validated over a range of hold conditions
Improved quality of blood components
Easy to use, fits into routine standard operating procedures and logistics
Filtration Application
High efficiency leucocyte removal from one unit of whole blood before processing
Clinical Benefits
Clinically proven media technology significantly reduces the risk of leucocyte associated transfusion complications such as microaggregates, alloimmunisation, febrile reactions, refractoriness to platelets, Cytomegalovirus and immunosuppression.*
Unique technology filtration media and minimal filter hold up volume provide high recovery of red cells and plasma for transfusion to the patient.
