Methods For Processing Red Cell Products For Long Term Storage Free Of Microorganisms
US Patent:
5512187, Apr 30, 1996
Filed:
Sep 1, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/299793
Inventors:
Donald H. Buchholz - Barrington IL

Richard L. Kandler - McHenry IL
Assignee:
Baxter International Inc.
International Classification:
B01D 3700, B01D 3600
US Classification:
210767
Abstract:
A blood processing method provides a red blood cell product that is free of microorganisms like Yersinia enterocolitica during storage periods over 24 hours. The red blood cell product is collected in a first container, where it is refrigerating to cool the blood product to a temperature of about 3 to 5 degrees C. The refrigerated product is transferred from the first container into a storage container through a prescribed filter medium that comprises a mass of synthetic fibers having an average fiber diameter of about 10 microns or less and a bulk density of about 0. 7 gram per cubic centimeter or less. The filtered product is retained in the storage container at a temperature of about 3 to 5 degrees C. for a storage period over 24 hours after filtration. Using the filter medium, microorganisms like Yersinia enterocolitica present in the red blood cell product at the time of collection are depleted.
