Factors affecting the quality of blood components 1. Selection of donor 2. Quality of blood bag and anticoagulant preservative solution used 3. Techniques of phlebotomy • Clean venipuncture • Minimal tissue trauma • Flow-continuous and uninterrupted and should be completed in 8-10 min • Frequent gentle mixing
Factors affecting the quality of blood components 4. Time period: 5. Transit temperature 6. Refrigerated centrifuge calibration for maximum yield in minimum time • Critical variables – speed, temp, duration, rotor size • Accurate balancing – dry weight preferred • Bag position • Swinging cups better than fixed angle cups 7. Storage temperature 8. Uninterrupted, gentle flat bedded platelet incubator/agitator
