Assessment of Equipment Programming Efficiency for Blood Component Preparation to Enhance Accuracy in Service

Abstract/Preface

Component preparation plays a crucial role in blood center services, requiring adherence to standardized procedures for optimal outcomes. The introduction of CPD solution for blood collection has notably enhanced the viability of whole blood, facilitating standard component preparation processes. Utilizing specialized equipment like refrigerated centrifuge machines, which operate on centrifugal and centripetal forces, has been pivotal since the inception of the single-step heavy spin centrifugation method in the 1960s. Over time, component preparation techniques have evolved from manual methods to fully automated centrifuge cryocentrifuge systems, categorized into first to third generations, each continually improving in performance. The fundamental principle underlying all generations is the utilization of centrifugal and centripetal forces to separate components, departing from conventional whole blood holding methods. Foreighn reaction in the resipent is natural tendancy of blood produts to avoid this always ration use of blood product is always neccery. So component sepration is need of hours for the blood transfusion. The success of component preparation hinges on various factors, with proper instrument programming being paramount. Quality outcomes are achievable only through optimal programming, ensuring standardized products.
