Abstract: Background: diverse array of apheresis devices is currently available on the market for platelet apheresis. This study conducts a comparative quality including platelet (PLT) yield, RBC contamination, white blood cell (WBC) content, Post Procedure. Material and Methods: Donors undergoing plateletpheresis were randomly assigned to one of two groups (Amicus or COM.TEC cell. Results: In the pre-apheresis procedure setting, there were no significant differences in donor characteristics (sex, age, quite similar. The blood volume processed to, achieve a target PLT yield of ?3 ? 10?? was significantly t higher products collected with the Amicus and 94% of those with the COM.TEC met the target PLT yield of >3.3 ? 10?. However, the collection rate was significantly higher with the Amicus compared to the COM.TEC (0.079 ? 0.012 ? 10?? vs. 0.067 ? 0.008 ? 10?? PLT/min, p < 0.003). Conclusion: Both instruments efficiently collected platelets, with consistent leukoreduction achieved tin both cases.
