Abstract
Each of 41 donors underwent plateletpheresis on the CS–3000 (Fenwal), 2997 (IBM/Cobe), and V50 (Haemonetics) blood cell separators. Platelet collection efficiency was highest with the 2997. The fewest number of lymphocytes were present in products collected with the 2997. Procedures with the CS#x2013;3000 resulted in the least amount of change in donor ionized calcium levels and in the fewest number of donor reactions. Products collected with the 2997 had the largest volume and had the longest set-up time but shortest processing time to obtain the highest yields. These data may help apheresis services select equipment best suited to the particular needs of their staff, donors, and patients.
