Quality of red blood cells washed using the <scp>ACP</scp> 215 cell processor: assessment of optimal pre‐ and postwash storage times and conditions

Abstract

Based on all acceptance criteria, a maximum 14-day prewash storage period and 7-day postwash storage period in SAGM preservative was found to be optimal. The longer outdate time postwashing should help lessen challenges in providing components to patients before expiry.
