Plastic Blood Bag with Filter for Leukoreduction
Product Introduction – Disposable Leukocyte-Depleted Plastic Blood Bag
The Disposable Leukocyte-Depleted Plastic Blood Bag is a sterile, single-use medical device designed to effectively remove leukocytes (white blood cells) from whole blood or blood components during collection and processing. By significantly reducing the number of leukocytes, it helps minimize transfusion-related complications and improves the safety and quality of blood products for clinical use.
Intended Use
This product is intended for the filtration of leukocytes from whole blood or blood components (such as red blood cells and platelets) in blood centers and hospitals, producing leukocyte-depleted blood products that meet high safety standards for transfusion.
Composition
The system consists of a high-quality plastic blood bag integrated with an advanced leukocyte-depleted filter. The closed-system design allows seamless collection, filtration, and storage of blood components without exposure to the external environment.
Key Features & Advantages
- High-Efficiency Leukocyte RemovalThe built-in leukocyte depletion filter can effectively reduce residual white blood cells to below 1 × 10⁶ per unit, meeting international standards for leukocyte-depleted blood products and significantly lowering the risk of adverse transfusion reactions.
- Comprehensive ProtectionLeukocyte depletion helps prevent febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR), reduces the risk of HLA alloimmunization, cytomegalovirus (CMV) transmission, and other immune-mediated complications, while also decreasing the incidence of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI).
- Optimized Blood QualityThe filtration process is gentle on red blood cells and platelets, preserving cell viability, function, and post-transfusion recovery while maintaining excellent hemoglobin levels and platelet counts.
- Closed-System SafetyThe integrated filter and multi-bag configuration enable leukocyte filtration in a completely closed sterile system, minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination and ensuring product sterility throughout processing and storage.
- User-Friendly OperationThe system is designed for simple gravity filtration or manual pressing, with clear tubing, easy-to-use clamps, and reliable connections that support efficient workflow in blood banks and transfusion services.
- Versatile ConfigurationsAvailable in various multi-bag systems suitable for whole blood collection and subsequent component separation with inline or bedside leukocyte filtration.
The Disposable Leukocyte-Depleted Plastic Blood Bag provides a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for producing high-quality leukocyte-reduced blood components, contributing to improved patient outcomes and higher standards in modern transfusion medicine.
FAQ
1. How does the single-use filtration system optimize blood quality?
It maintains excellent hemoglobin levels and platelet counts while removing harmful white blood cells.
2. Why is leukocyte depletion important for patients?
It minimizes adverse immune reactions, such as HLA alloimmunization and respiratory complications like TRALI.
3. Is the material of the blood bag medical-grade?
Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality, biocompatible medical-grade plastic for safe blood storage.
4. Can this bag be used for red blood cell filtration?
Yes, it is specifically intended for the filtration of leukocytes from both red blood cells and platelets.
5. What is the primary advantage of the single-use filter?
The single-use design ensures that every filtration process is performed with a fresh, sterile, and highly efficient filter.
6. Does the system minimize bacterial contamination risk?
The completely closed sterile system design minimizes any risk of contamination during processing and storage.
7. Is the tubing clear enough for monitoring the filtration?
Yes, the system features clear tubing that allows for visual monitoring during the gravity filtration process.
8. Can the system be used for manual pressing?
Yes, the robust design of the bag and filter supports both gravity-fed and manual pressing techniques.
9. How does this product contribute to better patient outcomes?
By providing high-purity blood components, it reduces the frequency of post-transfusion complications and fever.
10. Is the filter housing durable enough for centrifugation?
The inline filter is designed to withstand the pressures associated with standard blood component processing.
11. Does the system meet international standards for leukoreduction?
Yes, it is designed to meet or exceed international requirements for leukocyte-depleted blood components.
12. How should the device be disposed of after use?
It should be treated as biohazardous medical waste and disposed of according to hospital and environmental regulations.
13. Are the connections between the filter and bag secure?
The integrated design ensures reliable, leak-proof connections throughout the entire blood processing cycle.
14. What is the shelf life of the unused sterile filtration system?
The shelf life is typically 2 years, provided the original sterile packaging is unopened and undamaged.
15. Does it require specialized equipment to operate?
No, it is designed for simple operation, requiring only standard blood bag stands for gravity filtration.
