Abstract

Objectives: Plateletpheresis (PP) has become increasingly prevalent due to its cost-effectiveness and fewer immunological and infectious complications for recipients. This study compares hematological indices of platelet donors and instrument-related parameters in high-yield PP donors using Haemonetics MCS+ and Trima Accel. Methods: Eligible and healthy PP donors meeting the platelet donation criteria were randomly selected.19 single-dose platelet (SDP), and 26 double-dose platelet (DDP) donors underwent PP using the Haemonetics MCS+, while 21 SDP and 21 DDP donors were processed using the Trima Accel system. Complete Blood Count (CBC) and hematological indices of donors between groups with both devices were measured with the cell counter. Platelet yield, collection efficiency (CE), and collection rate (CR) were evaluated for both devices. Results were reported using R-4.3.2 software and a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The Trima Accel processed significantly more blood volume and had shorter procedure times than MCS+. Platelet yield in the SDP group with Trima Accel was significantly higher than the Haemonetics MCS+. The Trima Accel demonstrated a significantly higher CR and CE than the MCS+ in both SDP and DDP groups. Post-PP lymphocyte counts significantly decreased with the Trima compared to the MCS+ in the SDP group. However, post-PP hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean platelet volume (MPV) in the DDP group with the MCS+ were significantly lower than Trima. Conclusion: Double-dose plateletpheresis (DDP) offers advantages in cost-effectiveness and platelet production, and although it reduces some hematological indices, these remain within normal limits. The Trima Accel may offer superior efficiency and processing times compared to the MCS+. However, careful monitoring of DDP donors following AABB standards remains essential. © 2024 Societe francophone de transfusion sanguine (SFTS)
