The Excel Cell Separator produced by Dideco represents a good compromise between automation and Platelet efficiency. Platelet activation is a phenomenon that we can find with the concentrates of all cell separators. Although, the complement activation of Excel is extremely lower in comparison with the same data obtained using all the other cell separators, the 5-day storage is acceptable. It will be important to research the bacteriological controls. Like the pH of the platelet bags, because in certain cases it was too low. For the future it will be interesting to study the possibility to predict the quantity of platelets collected having a system that is adaptable with the donor parameters.

Compared with hetastarch (HS), the low molecular weight analog pentastarch (PS) has been reported to be equally effective for granulocyte collection by centrifugal leukapheresis, to result in fewer adverse donor reactions (ADR), and to have a more rapid elimination profile. We prospectively compared the granulocyte collection efficiency (GCE), granulocyte yield, and ADR in 72 randomly paired granulocytapheresis procedures from 36 volunteer donors using the model CS-3000 Plus Blood Cell Separator (CS) and either PS or HS as the sedimenting agent. Paired collections from each donor allowed us to compare the two agents directly while controlling for intrinsic donor differences. In 33 of 36 (92%) donors, HS procedures were significantly more efficient than PS procedures (P < .001). As an average, HS collections yielded 2.3 +/- 0.67 x 10(10) granulocytes at 58% +/- 8.8% GCE, whereas PS procedures resulted in 1.4 +/- 0.76 x 10(10) granulocytes at 33% +/- 15% GCE. No starch-induced ADR were seen with either agent. For granulocyte harvests using the CS, (1) in most donors, using HS as the red blood cell sedimenting agent during centrifugal leukapheresis results in significantly higher (nearly twofold) GCE and larger granulocyte yields in comparison with using PS, (2) ADR were not observed with either agent, and (3) the potential benefit of more rapid PS elimination should be balanced against significantly lower granulocyte yields.
