Conclusion FP24 is best prepared fromWB that was stored overnight at 4∘C and then leukodepleted and separated within 24 hrsPCs are best produced from BCs derived fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature
1 Introduction
An important step in safeguarding the quality and safety ofthe blood supply is recruiting volunteer donors from low-risk populations and producing qualified blood and bloodcomponents Volunteer donor recruitment is a challengingproposition worldwide In China it was particularly difficultbefore 1998 Traditional Chinese culture believes that theloss of even a small amount of blood has a substantialdetrimental health effect Some people also believe that blooddonation is a disloyal action against onersquos ancestors Oldcultural beliefs combinedwith inadequate efforts tomobilizevolunteer donors have led to a chronic shortage of bloodproducts in some areas of China [1] Therefore many bloodcenters have tried to prepare more blood components suchas platelet (PLT) concentrates (PCs) fromwhole blood (WB)to meet the need for blood products
WB units are generally held at ambient temperatures (20ndash24∘C) when PCs will be prepared within 6 hrs of the bloodcollection The United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) guidelines during the early 1980s allowed thepreparation of components at 20 to 24∘C within 8 hrs ofcollection and a 5-day storage period for PCsThe impetus forextending the time to 8 hrs reflected an increased productiondemand for PCs and the limitations of the 6 hr period withrespect to the collection of a large percentage of WB units atmobile drives which were sometimes quite distant from thecomponent production laboratories Currently because ofthe overnight holding practice component manufacturingincluding PLT preparation can be logistically facilitatedwith related cost savings Many countries have converted toovernight-hold blood processing because of these advantages[2] Recently the Canadian Blood Services has adopted theovernight hold approach to prepare PCs from buffy coats [3]
Currently the most commonly used plasma product isfresh frozen plasma (FFP) which can be obtained froma plasmapheresis collection or donated WB FFP must beprepared and frozen within 6 or 8 hrs from the time ofcollection according to the usage of different anticoagulantsfor WB storage These requirements for FFP preparation

could limit the number ofWBunits that can be processed intoFFP because of the blood collections from blood-collectingvehiclesWB stored overnight at 4∘C can be used tomanufac-ture plasma and concentrated red blood cells but not for PCsbecause of the deleterious effect of 4∘C storage on PLT qualityPLTs do not tolerate refrigeration and disappear rapidly fromcirculation if subjected to chilling before transplantation [4ndash6] Thus WB used for PC separation must be stored atroom temperature Currently PC preparation according tothe BC removal method is widely practiced [7ndash9] and isassociated with significantly better PLT recoveries and lessPLT activation immediately after preparation [10] Howeverit is also inexpedient for PCs that are prepared during theimmediate processing of freshWB In addition an overnighthold of BC is good for the PC quantity and quality [11]There are numerous operational and economic advantagesto blood services from ambient WB storage within 24 hrsbecause of the reduced restrictions on blood processing forPC separation within 8 hrs of collection
The aim of this study was to compare the quality asmeasured by the coagulation factor levels of plasma preparedfromWB that was processed within 8 hrs after collection andstorage at 4∘C within 18ndash24 hrs of storage at 4∘C or within18ndash24 hrs of storage at ambient temperature and the qualityof PCs from the BCs processed either from freshWB or fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature

safety and efficacy The current FDA regulations require thatWBunits held at room temperaturemust be processedwithin8 hrs after collection or alternatively the WB units must berefrigerated and processed within 24 hrs [12] The Council ofEurope (COE) guidelines specify that WB units can be heldfor up to 24 hrs at room temperature provided that the unitsare rapidly cooled to 20ndash22∘C immediately after collectionThe Chinese guidelines require that the WB units are storedat 4∘C as soon as possible after collection and are processedwithin 8 hrs Overnight room temperature WB holdinghas both logistical advantages and some disadvantages that
potentially affect the quality of components particularly redblood cells (RBCs) In recent years Chinese blood centershave tried to improve the national blood supply and safety InChinaWBunits for clinical use are collected at blood centersMore than 400 blood centers are operated at 3 levels provin-cial regional and county Local government health officesoversee blood center operations The WB unit donationmodels in China have changed from paid donors before 1998to employer-organized donors after the new blood donationlaw took effect in 1998 and inmost areas of China donors arenow volunteers [1] The blood donation law bans all paidWB

donations for clinical use and encourages all Chinese citizensbetween the ages of 18 and 55 years whomeet the health crite-ria for blood donation to donate blood voluntarily Accordingto the law WB units are mostly collected at blood centers ormobile street stations in strategic locations that are run byblood centers One or 2 units (200 or 400mL) of WB canbe drawn from 1 volunteer stored in a refrigerator and trans-ported at 4∘C by a blood vehicle and separated into bloodcomponents at 4∘C within 8 hrs Currently most blood cen-ters report that they have already achieved the goal ofmeetingall of their regionrsquos blood needs with volunteer donations
In early 1999 OrsquoNeill et al studied the quality of FP24by measuring clotting factors in plasma obtained from CPDWB after storage at 22∘C and 4∘C for as long as 24 hrs beforefrozen storage at minus18∘C for 1 month The authors confirmedthat plasma separated from WB that had been stored for upto 24 hrs after collection could be used under all conditionsthat required FFP for transfusion [13] In 2005 Cardiganet al also examined the quality of FFP produced from WBstored at 4∘C overnight [14]The authors suggested that therewas good retention of relevant coagulation factor activity inplasma produced from WB that had been stored at 4∘C for18 to 24 hrs and that this would be an acceptable productfor most patients who required FFP Several other studieshave assessed the stability of FP24 when thawed and storedat 4∘C for up to 5 days [15] The studies discovered that FFPand FP24 contained adequate coagulation factor activities to
maintain hemostatic activity In China the guideline requiresthat the FVIII level in gt75 of FFP must be gt07 IUmLMeanwhile there is no current quality standard for FP24In our study the most variable affective factor during WBstorage was FVIII as might be predicted Compared to FFPthe FVIII level decreased by 3286 in II-FP24 and by 4071in I-FP24 The activity levels of other coagulation factors inI-FP24 and II-FP24 were not significantly different Theseresults showed that with the exception of FVIII FP24 wouldbe an acceptable product for most patients who required FFPKleinman et al conducted a survey in late 2009 to gatherdetailed information in which 40 of the respondents chosethe highest category indicating thatgt75 of their plasmawassupplied as FP24 [16] Interestingly the FV activity increasedsubstantially during the short period of storage which wasalso observed in this study and might reflect activation ofthe contact system during storage [17] Alhumaidan et alalso found that plasma manufactured after a 24 hr roomtemperature hold contains coagulation factors comparable toFFP except for a possible reduction of up to 20 in FVIIIOther clotting factors either were unchanged or showedminimal reduction (lt15) This plasma appears suitable asa transfusable product and extension of liquid storage to 7daysmerits consideration [18] FFP had the best results for themetabolism variables K+ LDH and FHb Compared to theother 2 groups II-FP24 had higher K+ LDH and FHb levelsThis result might be explained by the RBCmetabolism inWBstored overnight at 4∘C and the increased osmotic fragilitythat resulted in RBC lysis increasing some parameters inthe plasma processed from WB The differences in severalbiochemical parameters between the II-FP24 and P24 groupsmight be caused by the holding of WB at different tem-peratures which induced different levels of RBC membranefragility and deformation properties Comprehensively thequality of plasma from theWB that was held overnight at 4∘Cand then leukodepleted ismuch better than that of the plasmafrom leukodepleted WB that was then held overnight Thusonce filtrated plasma should be separated as soon as possible
Although PCs must be prepared within 6 hrs throughfresh WB processing this process is inexpedient becauseof blood collection from mobile vehicles or from a widegeographic areaThus it is important to extend the allowableprocessing time for PCs The BC removal method which isconsidered as a good PC preparationmethod is used inmanycountries Some scientists think that overnight BCs holdingbenefits the quantity and quality of PCs [10] In this study thequantity and quality of PCs from BCs andWB that were heldovernight were compared All PCs had PLT counts well abovethe current acceptance level of 20 times 1010U In particular thePLT counts were much higher in PC2 (2554 higher thanthose in PC1 and 7450 higher than the current acceptancelevel) Other studies have shown levels that were 1860ndash3300 higher in the overnight-held PCs [19 20] We studiedthe effect of BCs holding time before the PLT preparationon the quality of PCs and found lower PLT counts with a0 hr holding time than with 4 or 16 hr holding times Thuswe concluded that PLT recovery was comparatively affectedby immediate BCs processing This result could be explained

by the relatively short rest period of BCs (ie the PLTswere still forming aggregates that were easily removed duringcentrifugation prior to disaggregation) Some biochemicalindicators were different between the PC1 and PC2 groupswhich could be explained by RBC metabolism in WB duringovernight storage and by the lower amount of PLT in thestorage bag thus resulting in a lower total metabolism levelin the bag Although the CD62P expression was significantlydifferent the levels were still lower [21] The PLT quantity isactually improved by overnight room temperature hold andthe quality is not affected
Recently in a special supplement report to the journalof Transfusion scientists in 9 major blood product develop-mental laboratories evaluated the quality of components fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature includ-ing RBCs plasma and PCs The scientists concluded thatovernight holding of WB before processing had no lastingdeleterious effects on the in vitro qualities of the subsequentlyprepared components and that using different RBC additivesolutions did not appear to offer significant advantages interms of final RBC quality regardless of the processingmethod [21 22] Furthermore Dijkstra-Tiekstra and col-leagues analyzed the differences between PCs from fresh andovernight-stored blood Their data showed that PCs are bestprepared after a 20 to 24 hr WB hold [23] Some scientistsconfirmed that storing WB for 22 plusmn 2 hrs at 22∘C beforepreparing the PCs could increase the yield of PLTs in a con-centrate by 43while concurrently improving allmeasures of7-day poststorage PLT viability [24 25] Furthermore Cardi-gan and his colleague who have extensively studied plasmatested the coagulation factor content of plasma fromWB thatwas stored for 24 hrs at an ambient temperature and indicatedthat WB storage at ambient temperature for 24 hrs hadminimal effects on the plasma coagulation activity and thuswas an acceptable alternative to producing plasma on the dayof blood collection [26]There are numerous operational andeconomic advantages of the blood services of ambient WBstorage for 24 hrs because of the removal of the requirementto process blood for PLTs or plasmawithin 6 hrs of collectionEven the partial loss of FVIII in the plasma can be replacedwith a biological FVIII product for clinical use when neces-sary
5 Conclusion
In this study in which 400mL WB samples were dividedequally the group data revealed real differences OvernightWBholdingmight be a suitablemethod for blood componentprocessing FP24 is best prepared from WB that was storedovernight at 4∘C followed by leukodepletion and separationwithin 24 hrs PCs are best prepared within 6 hrs from BCthat was derived from WB that was held overnight at roomtemperature

could limit the number ofWBunits that can be processed intoFFP because of the blood collections from blood-collectingvehiclesWB stored overnight at 4∘C can be used tomanufac-ture plasma and concentrated red blood cells but not for PCsbecause of the deleterious effect of 4∘C storage on PLT qualityPLTs do not tolerate refrigeration and disappear rapidly fromcirculation if subjected to chilling before transplantation [4ndash6] Thus WB used for PC separation must be stored atroom temperature Currently PC preparation according tothe BC removal method is widely practiced [7ndash9] and isassociated with significantly better PLT recoveries and lessPLT activation immediately after preparation [10] Howeverit is also inexpedient for PCs that are prepared during theimmediate processing of freshWB In addition an overnighthold of BC is good for the PC quantity and quality [11]There are numerous operational and economic advantagesto blood services from ambient WB storage within 24 hrsbecause of the reduced restrictions on blood processing forPC separation within 8 hrs of collection
The aim of this study was to compare the quality asmeasured by the coagulation factor levels of plasma preparedfromWB that was processed within 8 hrs after collection andstorage at 4∘C within 18ndash24 hrs of storage at 4∘C or within18ndash24 hrs of storage at ambient temperature and the qualityof PCs from the BCs processed either from freshWB or fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature
2 Materials and Methods

safety and efficacy The current FDA regulations require thatWBunits held at room temperaturemust be processedwithin8 hrs after collection or alternatively the WB units must berefrigerated and processed within 24 hrs [12] The Council ofEurope (COE) guidelines specify that WB units can be heldfor up to 24 hrs at room temperature provided that the unitsare rapidly cooled to 20ndash22∘C immediately after collectionThe Chinese guidelines require that the WB units are storedat 4∘C as soon as possible after collection and are processedwithin 8 hrs Overnight room temperature WB holdinghas both logistical advantages and some disadvantages that
potentially affect the quality of components particularly redblood cells (RBCs) In recent years Chinese blood centershave tried to improve the national blood supply and safety InChinaWBunits for clinical use are collected at blood centersMore than 400 blood centers are operated at 3 levels provin-cial regional and county Local government health officesoversee blood center operations The WB unit donationmodels in China have changed from paid donors before 1998to employer-organized donors after the new blood donationlaw took effect in 1998 and inmost areas of China donors arenow volunteers [1] The blood donation law bans all paidWB

donations for clinical use and encourages all Chinese citizensbetween the ages of 18 and 55 years whomeet the health crite-ria for blood donation to donate blood voluntarily Accordingto the law WB units are mostly collected at blood centers ormobile street stations in strategic locations that are run byblood centers One or 2 units (200 or 400mL) of WB canbe drawn from 1 volunteer stored in a refrigerator and trans-ported at 4∘C by a blood vehicle and separated into bloodcomponents at 4∘C within 8 hrs Currently most blood cen-ters report that they have already achieved the goal ofmeetingall of their regionrsquos blood needs with volunteer donations
In early 1999 OrsquoNeill et al studied the quality of FP24by measuring clotting factors in plasma obtained from CPDWB after storage at 22∘C and 4∘C for as long as 24 hrs beforefrozen storage at minus18∘C for 1 month The authors confirmedthat plasma separated from WB that had been stored for upto 24 hrs after collection could be used under all conditionsthat required FFP for transfusion [13] In 2005 Cardiganet al also examined the quality of FFP produced from WBstored at 4∘C overnight [14]The authors suggested that therewas good retention of relevant coagulation factor activity inplasma produced from WB that had been stored at 4∘C for18 to 24 hrs and that this would be an acceptable productfor most patients who required FFP Several other studieshave assessed the stability of FP24 when thawed and storedat 4∘C for up to 5 days [15] The studies discovered that FFPand FP24 contained adequate coagulation factor activities to
maintain hemostatic activity In China the guideline requiresthat the FVIII level in gt75 of FFP must be gt07 IUmLMeanwhile there is no current quality standard for FP24In our study the most variable affective factor during WBstorage was FVIII as might be predicted Compared to FFPthe FVIII level decreased by 3286 in II-FP24 and by 4071in I-FP24 The activity levels of other coagulation factors inI-FP24 and II-FP24 were not significantly different Theseresults showed that with the exception of FVIII FP24 wouldbe an acceptable product for most patients who required FFPKleinman et al conducted a survey in late 2009 to gatherdetailed information in which 40 of the respondents chosethe highest category indicating thatgt75 of their plasmawassupplied as FP24 [16] Interestingly the FV activity increasedsubstantially during the short period of storage which wasalso observed in this study and might reflect activation ofthe contact system during storage [17] Alhumaidan et alalso found that plasma manufactured after a 24 hr roomtemperature hold contains coagulation factors comparable toFFP except for a possible reduction of up to 20 in FVIIIOther clotting factors either were unchanged or showedminimal reduction (lt15) This plasma appears suitable asa transfusable product and extension of liquid storage to 7daysmerits consideration [18] FFP had the best results for themetabolism variables K+ LDH and FHb Compared to theother 2 groups II-FP24 had higher K+ LDH and FHb levelsThis result might be explained by the RBCmetabolism inWBstored overnight at 4∘C and the increased osmotic fragilitythat resulted in RBC lysis increasing some parameters inthe plasma processed from WB The differences in severalbiochemical parameters between the II-FP24 and P24 groupsmight be caused by the holding of WB at different tem-peratures which induced different levels of RBC membranefragility and deformation properties Comprehensively thequality of plasma from theWB that was held overnight at 4∘Cand then leukodepleted ismuch better than that of the plasmafrom leukodepleted WB that was then held overnight Thusonce filtrated plasma should be separated as soon as possible
Although PCs must be prepared within 6 hrs throughfresh WB processing this process is inexpedient becauseof blood collection from mobile vehicles or from a widegeographic areaThus it is important to extend the allowableprocessing time for PCs The BC removal method which isconsidered as a good PC preparationmethod is used inmanycountries Some scientists think that overnight BCs holdingbenefits the quantity and quality of PCs [10] In this study thequantity and quality of PCs from BCs andWB that were heldovernight were compared All PCs had PLT counts well abovethe current acceptance level of 20 times 1010U In particular thePLT counts were much higher in PC2 (2554 higher thanthose in PC1 and 7450 higher than the current acceptancelevel) Other studies have shown levels that were 1860ndash3300 higher in the overnight-held PCs [19 20] We studiedthe effect of BCs holding time before the PLT preparationon the quality of PCs and found lower PLT counts with a0 hr holding time than with 4 or 16 hr holding times Thuswe concluded that PLT recovery was comparatively affectedby immediate BCs processing This result could be explained

by the relatively short rest period of BCs (ie the PLTswere still forming aggregates that were easily removed duringcentrifugation prior to disaggregation) Some biochemicalindicators were different between the PC1 and PC2 groupswhich could be explained by RBC metabolism in WB duringovernight storage and by the lower amount of PLT in thestorage bag thus resulting in a lower total metabolism levelin the bag Although the CD62P expression was significantlydifferent the levels were still lower [21] The PLT quantity isactually improved by overnight room temperature hold andthe quality is not affected
Recently in a special supplement report to the journalof Transfusion scientists in 9 major blood product develop-mental laboratories evaluated the quality of components fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature includ-ing RBCs plasma and PCs The scientists concluded thatovernight holding of WB before processing had no lastingdeleterious effects on the in vitro qualities of the subsequentlyprepared components and that using different RBC additivesolutions did not appear to offer significant advantages interms of final RBC quality regardless of the processingmethod [21 22] Furthermore Dijkstra-Tiekstra and col-leagues analyzed the differences between PCs from fresh andovernight-stored blood Their data showed that PCs are bestprepared after a 20 to 24 hr WB hold [23] Some scientistsconfirmed that storing WB for 22 plusmn 2 hrs at 22∘C beforepreparing the PCs could increase the yield of PLTs in a con-centrate by 43while concurrently improving allmeasures of7-day poststorage PLT viability [24 25] Furthermore Cardi-gan and his colleague who have extensively studied plasmatested the coagulation factor content of plasma fromWB thatwas stored for 24 hrs at an ambient temperature and indicatedthat WB storage at ambient temperature for 24 hrs hadminimal effects on the plasma coagulation activity and thuswas an acceptable alternative to producing plasma on the dayof blood collection [26]There are numerous operational andeconomic advantages of the blood services of ambient WBstorage for 24 hrs because of the removal of the requirementto process blood for PLTs or plasmawithin 6 hrs of collectionEven the partial loss of FVIII in the plasma can be replacedwith a biological FVIII product for clinical use when neces-sary
5 Conclusion
In this study in which 400mL WB samples were dividedequally the group data revealed real differences OvernightWBholdingmight be a suitablemethod for blood componentprocessing FP24 is best prepared from WB that was storedovernight at 4∘C followed by leukodepletion and separationwithin 24 hrs PCs are best prepared within 6 hrs from BCthat was derived from WB that was held overnight at roomtemperature

safety and efficacy The current FDA regulations require thatWBunits held at room temperaturemust be processedwithin8 hrs after collection or alternatively the WB units must berefrigerated and processed within 24 hrs [12] The Council ofEurope (COE) guidelines specify that WB units can be heldfor up to 24 hrs at room temperature provided that the unitsare rapidly cooled to 20ndash22∘C immediately after collectionThe Chinese guidelines require that the WB units are storedat 4∘C as soon as possible after collection and are processedwithin 8 hrs Overnight room temperature WB holdinghas both logistical advantages and some disadvantages that
potentially affect the quality of components particularly redblood cells (RBCs) In recent years Chinese blood centershave tried to improve the national blood supply and safety InChinaWBunits for clinical use are collected at blood centersMore than 400 blood centers are operated at 3 levels provin-cial regional and county Local government health officesoversee blood center operations The WB unit donationmodels in China have changed from paid donors before 1998to employer-organized donors after the new blood donationlaw took effect in 1998 and inmost areas of China donors arenow volunteers [1] The blood donation law bans all paidWB

donations for clinical use and encourages all Chinese citizensbetween the ages of 18 and 55 years whomeet the health crite-ria for blood donation to donate blood voluntarily Accordingto the law WB units are mostly collected at blood centers ormobile street stations in strategic locations that are run byblood centers One or 2 units (200 or 400mL) of WB canbe drawn from 1 volunteer stored in a refrigerator and trans-ported at 4∘C by a blood vehicle and separated into bloodcomponents at 4∘C within 8 hrs Currently most blood cen-ters report that they have already achieved the goal ofmeetingall of their regionrsquos blood needs with volunteer donations
In early 1999 OrsquoNeill et al studied the quality of FP24by measuring clotting factors in plasma obtained from CPDWB after storage at 22∘C and 4∘C for as long as 24 hrs beforefrozen storage at minus18∘C for 1 month The authors confirmedthat plasma separated from WB that had been stored for upto 24 hrs after collection could be used under all conditionsthat required FFP for transfusion [13] In 2005 Cardiganet al also examined the quality of FFP produced from WBstored at 4∘C overnight [14]The authors suggested that therewas good retention of relevant coagulation factor activity inplasma produced from WB that had been stored at 4∘C for18 to 24 hrs and that this would be an acceptable productfor most patients who required FFP Several other studieshave assessed the stability of FP24 when thawed and storedat 4∘C for up to 5 days [15] The studies discovered that FFPand FP24 contained adequate coagulation factor activities to
maintain hemostatic activity In China the guideline requiresthat the FVIII level in gt75 of FFP must be gt07 IUmLMeanwhile there is no current quality standard for FP24In our study the most variable affective factor during WBstorage was FVIII as might be predicted Compared to FFPthe FVIII level decreased by 3286 in II-FP24 and by 4071in I-FP24 The activity levels of other coagulation factors inI-FP24 and II-FP24 were not significantly different Theseresults showed that with the exception of FVIII FP24 wouldbe an acceptable product for most patients who required FFPKleinman et al conducted a survey in late 2009 to gatherdetailed information in which 40 of the respondents chosethe highest category indicating thatgt75 of their plasmawassupplied as FP24 [16] Interestingly the FV activity increasedsubstantially during the short period of storage which wasalso observed in this study and might reflect activation ofthe contact system during storage [17] Alhumaidan et alalso found that plasma manufactured after a 24 hr roomtemperature hold contains coagulation factors comparable toFFP except for a possible reduction of up to 20 in FVIIIOther clotting factors either were unchanged or showedminimal reduction (lt15) This plasma appears suitable asa transfusable product and extension of liquid storage to 7daysmerits consideration [18] FFP had the best results for themetabolism variables K+ LDH and FHb Compared to theother 2 groups II-FP24 had higher K+ LDH and FHb levelsThis result might be explained by the RBCmetabolism inWBstored overnight at 4∘C and the increased osmotic fragilitythat resulted in RBC lysis increasing some parameters inthe plasma processed from WB The differences in severalbiochemical parameters between the II-FP24 and P24 groupsmight be caused by the holding of WB at different tem-peratures which induced different levels of RBC membranefragility and deformation properties Comprehensively thequality of plasma from theWB that was held overnight at 4∘Cand then leukodepleted ismuch better than that of the plasmafrom leukodepleted WB that was then held overnight Thusonce filtrated plasma should be separated as soon as possible
Although PCs must be prepared within 6 hrs throughfresh WB processing this process is inexpedient becauseof blood collection from mobile vehicles or from a widegeographic areaThus it is important to extend the allowableprocessing time for PCs The BC removal method which isconsidered as a good PC preparationmethod is used inmanycountries Some scientists think that overnight BCs holdingbenefits the quantity and quality of PCs [10] In this study thequantity and quality of PCs from BCs andWB that were heldovernight were compared All PCs had PLT counts well abovethe current acceptance level of 20 times 1010U In particular thePLT counts were much higher in PC2 (2554 higher thanthose in PC1 and 7450 higher than the current acceptancelevel) Other studies have shown levels that were 1860ndash3300 higher in the overnight-held PCs [19 20] We studiedthe effect of BCs holding time before the PLT preparationon the quality of PCs and found lower PLT counts with a0 hr holding time than with 4 or 16 hr holding times Thuswe concluded that PLT recovery was comparatively affectedby immediate BCs processing This result could be explained

by the relatively short rest period of BCs (ie the PLTswere still forming aggregates that were easily removed duringcentrifugation prior to disaggregation) Some biochemicalindicators were different between the PC1 and PC2 groupswhich could be explained by RBC metabolism in WB duringovernight storage and by the lower amount of PLT in thestorage bag thus resulting in a lower total metabolism levelin the bag Although the CD62P expression was significantlydifferent the levels were still lower [21] The PLT quantity isactually improved by overnight room temperature hold andthe quality is not affected
Recently in a special supplement report to the journalof Transfusion scientists in 9 major blood product develop-mental laboratories evaluated the quality of components fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature includ-ing RBCs plasma and PCs The scientists concluded thatovernight holding of WB before processing had no lastingdeleterious effects on the in vitro qualities of the subsequentlyprepared components and that using different RBC additivesolutions did not appear to offer significant advantages interms of final RBC quality regardless of the processingmethod [21 22] Furthermore Dijkstra-Tiekstra and col-leagues analyzed the differences between PCs from fresh andovernight-stored blood Their data showed that PCs are bestprepared after a 20 to 24 hr WB hold [23] Some scientistsconfirmed that storing WB for 22 plusmn 2 hrs at 22∘C beforepreparing the PCs could increase the yield of PLTs in a con-centrate by 43while concurrently improving allmeasures of7-day poststorage PLT viability [24 25] Furthermore Cardi-gan and his colleague who have extensively studied plasmatested the coagulation factor content of plasma fromWB thatwas stored for 24 hrs at an ambient temperature and indicatedthat WB storage at ambient temperature for 24 hrs hadminimal effects on the plasma coagulation activity and thuswas an acceptable alternative to producing plasma on the dayof blood collection [26]There are numerous operational andeconomic advantages of the blood services of ambient WBstorage for 24 hrs because of the removal of the requirementto process blood for PLTs or plasmawithin 6 hrs of collectionEven the partial loss of FVIII in the plasma can be replacedwith a biological FVIII product for clinical use when neces-sary
5 Conclusion
In this study in which 400mL WB samples were dividedequally the group data revealed real differences OvernightWBholdingmight be a suitablemethod for blood componentprocessing FP24 is best prepared from WB that was storedovernight at 4∘C followed by leukodepletion and separationwithin 24 hrs PCs are best prepared within 6 hrs from BCthat was derived from WB that was held overnight at roomtemperature

safety and efficacy The current FDA regulations require thatWBunits held at room temperaturemust be processedwithin8 hrs after collection or alternatively the WB units must berefrigerated and processed within 24 hrs [12] The Council ofEurope (COE) guidelines specify that WB units can be heldfor up to 24 hrs at room temperature provided that the unitsare rapidly cooled to 20ndash22∘C immediately after collectionThe Chinese guidelines require that the WB units are storedat 4∘C as soon as possible after collection and are processedwithin 8 hrs Overnight room temperature WB holdinghas both logistical advantages and some disadvantages that
potentially affect the quality of components particularly redblood cells (RBCs) In recent years Chinese blood centershave tried to improve the national blood supply and safety InChinaWBunits for clinical use are collected at blood centersMore than 400 blood centers are operated at 3 levels provin-cial regional and county Local government health officesoversee blood center operations The WB unit donationmodels in China have changed from paid donors before 1998to employer-organized donors after the new blood donationlaw took effect in 1998 and inmost areas of China donors arenow volunteers [1] The blood donation law bans all paidWB

donations for clinical use and encourages all Chinese citizensbetween the ages of 18 and 55 years whomeet the health crite-ria for blood donation to donate blood voluntarily Accordingto the law WB units are mostly collected at blood centers ormobile street stations in strategic locations that are run byblood centers One or 2 units (200 or 400mL) of WB canbe drawn from 1 volunteer stored in a refrigerator and trans-ported at 4∘C by a blood vehicle and separated into bloodcomponents at 4∘C within 8 hrs Currently most blood cen-ters report that they have already achieved the goal ofmeetingall of their regionrsquos blood needs with volunteer donations
In early 1999 OrsquoNeill et al studied the quality of FP24by measuring clotting factors in plasma obtained from CPDWB after storage at 22∘C and 4∘C for as long as 24 hrs beforefrozen storage at minus18∘C for 1 month The authors confirmedthat plasma separated from WB that had been stored for upto 24 hrs after collection could be used under all conditionsthat required FFP for transfusion [13] In 2005 Cardiganet al also examined the quality of FFP produced from WBstored at 4∘C overnight [14]The authors suggested that therewas good retention of relevant coagulation factor activity inplasma produced from WB that had been stored at 4∘C for18 to 24 hrs and that this would be an acceptable productfor most patients who required FFP Several other studieshave assessed the stability of FP24 when thawed and storedat 4∘C for up to 5 days [15] The studies discovered that FFPand FP24 contained adequate coagulation factor activities to
maintain hemostatic activity In China the guideline requiresthat the FVIII level in gt75 of FFP must be gt07 IUmLMeanwhile there is no current quality standard for FP24In our study the most variable affective factor during WBstorage was FVIII as might be predicted Compared to FFPthe FVIII level decreased by 3286 in II-FP24 and by 4071in I-FP24 The activity levels of other coagulation factors inI-FP24 and II-FP24 were not significantly different Theseresults showed that with the exception of FVIII FP24 wouldbe an acceptable product for most patients who required FFPKleinman et al conducted a survey in late 2009 to gatherdetailed information in which 40 of the respondents chosethe highest category indicating thatgt75 of their plasmawassupplied as FP24 [16] Interestingly the FV activity increasedsubstantially during the short period of storage which wasalso observed in this study and might reflect activation ofthe contact system during storage [17] Alhumaidan et alalso found that plasma manufactured after a 24 hr roomtemperature hold contains coagulation factors comparable toFFP except for a possible reduction of up to 20 in FVIIIOther clotting factors either were unchanged or showedminimal reduction (lt15) This plasma appears suitable asa transfusable product and extension of liquid storage to 7daysmerits consideration [18] FFP had the best results for themetabolism variables K+ LDH and FHb Compared to theother 2 groups II-FP24 had higher K+ LDH and FHb levelsThis result might be explained by the RBCmetabolism inWBstored overnight at 4∘C and the increased osmotic fragilitythat resulted in RBC lysis increasing some parameters inthe plasma processed from WB The differences in severalbiochemical parameters between the II-FP24 and P24 groupsmight be caused by the holding of WB at different tem-peratures which induced different levels of RBC membranefragility and deformation properties Comprehensively thequality of plasma from theWB that was held overnight at 4∘Cand then leukodepleted ismuch better than that of the plasmafrom leukodepleted WB that was then held overnight Thusonce filtrated plasma should be separated as soon as possible
Although PCs must be prepared within 6 hrs throughfresh WB processing this process is inexpedient becauseof blood collection from mobile vehicles or from a widegeographic areaThus it is important to extend the allowableprocessing time for PCs The BC removal method which isconsidered as a good PC preparationmethod is used inmanycountries Some scientists think that overnight BCs holdingbenefits the quantity and quality of PCs [10] In this study thequantity and quality of PCs from BCs andWB that were heldovernight were compared All PCs had PLT counts well abovethe current acceptance level of 20 times 1010U In particular thePLT counts were much higher in PC2 (2554 higher thanthose in PC1 and 7450 higher than the current acceptancelevel) Other studies have shown levels that were 1860ndash3300 higher in the overnight-held PCs [19 20] We studiedthe effect of BCs holding time before the PLT preparationon the quality of PCs and found lower PLT counts with a0 hr holding time than with 4 or 16 hr holding times Thuswe concluded that PLT recovery was comparatively affectedby immediate BCs processing This result could be explained

by the relatively short rest period of BCs (ie the PLTswere still forming aggregates that were easily removed duringcentrifugation prior to disaggregation) Some biochemicalindicators were different between the PC1 and PC2 groupswhich could be explained by RBC metabolism in WB duringovernight storage and by the lower amount of PLT in thestorage bag thus resulting in a lower total metabolism levelin the bag Although the CD62P expression was significantlydifferent the levels were still lower [21] The PLT quantity isactually improved by overnight room temperature hold andthe quality is not affected
Recently in a special supplement report to the journalof Transfusion scientists in 9 major blood product develop-mental laboratories evaluated the quality of components fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature includ-ing RBCs plasma and PCs The scientists concluded thatovernight holding of WB before processing had no lastingdeleterious effects on the in vitro qualities of the subsequentlyprepared components and that using different RBC additivesolutions did not appear to offer significant advantages interms of final RBC quality regardless of the processingmethod [21 22] Furthermore Dijkstra-Tiekstra and col-leagues analyzed the differences between PCs from fresh andovernight-stored blood Their data showed that PCs are bestprepared after a 20 to 24 hr WB hold [23] Some scientistsconfirmed that storing WB for 22 plusmn 2 hrs at 22∘C beforepreparing the PCs could increase the yield of PLTs in a con-centrate by 43while concurrently improving allmeasures of7-day poststorage PLT viability [24 25] Furthermore Cardi-gan and his colleague who have extensively studied plasmatested the coagulation factor content of plasma fromWB thatwas stored for 24 hrs at an ambient temperature and indicatedthat WB storage at ambient temperature for 24 hrs hadminimal effects on the plasma coagulation activity and thuswas an acceptable alternative to producing plasma on the dayof blood collection [26]There are numerous operational andeconomic advantages of the blood services of ambient WBstorage for 24 hrs because of the removal of the requirementto process blood for PLTs or plasmawithin 6 hrs of collectionEven the partial loss of FVIII in the plasma can be replacedwith a biological FVIII product for clinical use when neces-sary
5 Conclusion
In this study in which 400mL WB samples were dividedequally the group data revealed real differences OvernightWBholdingmight be a suitablemethod for blood componentprocessing FP24 is best prepared from WB that was storedovernight at 4∘C followed by leukodepletion and separationwithin 24 hrs PCs are best prepared within 6 hrs from BCthat was derived from WB that was held overnight at roomtemperature

Recently in a special supplement report to the journalof Transfusion scientists in 9 major blood product develop-mental laboratories evaluated the quality of components fromWB that was held overnight at room temperature includ-ing RBCs plasma and PCs The scientists concluded thatovernight holding of WB before processing had no lastingdeleterious effects on the in vitro qualities of the subsequentlyprepared components and that using different RBC additivesolutions did not appear to offer significant advantages interms of final RBC quality regardless of the processingmethod [21 22] Furthermore Dijkstra-Tiekstra and col-leagues analyzed the differences between PCs from fresh andovernight-stored blood Their data showed that PCs are bestprepared after a 20 to 24 hr WB hold [23] Some scientistsconfirmed that storing WB for 22 plusmn 2 hrs at 22∘C beforepreparing the PCs could increase the yield of PLTs in a con-centrate by 43while concurrently improving allmeasures of7-day poststorage PLT viability [24 25] Furthermore Cardi-gan and his colleague who have extensively studied plasmatested the coagulation factor content of plasma fromWB thatwas stored for 24 hrs at an ambient temperature and indicatedthat WB storage at ambient temperature for 24 hrs hadminimal effects on the plasma coagulation activity and thuswas an acceptable alternative to producing plasma on the dayof blood collection [26]There are numerous operational andeconomic advantages of the blood services of ambient WBstorage for 24 hrs because of the removal of the requirementto process blood for PLTs or plasmawithin 6 hrs of collectionEven the partial loss of FVIII in the plasma can be replacedwith a biological FVIII product for clinical use when neces-sary
