Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Procedural Variables (Procedure Duration, Total Blood Volume (TBV) Processed, Collection Efficiency, and Collection Rate; Total Anticoagulant used, Anticoagulant infused to Donor) 2.Procedural Efficiency (Frequency and Nature of Errors, and Procedure Abortions) 3.Quality Parameters of SDP Conc. include the following (Visual Check, Swirling, Volume, Product Yield, RBC count, WBC count, pH).Timepoint: Baseline Data collected On the Day of Plateletpheresis Procedure (defined as Day 0) - Data for Outcome 1. Procedural Variables, and Outcome 2. Procedural Efficiency. On the Next Day (defined as Day 1), Data for Outcome 3. Quality Parameters of SDP Conc. will be collected.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
4. Donor satisfaction with the plateletpheresis procedure on each cell separator shall be evaluated using a structured questionnaire.Timepoint: At Baseline, immediately after the plateletpheresis procedure.;5. Incidence & type of donor adverse effects shall be documented using Donor Reaction Form (DRF, as approved & released by the National Institute of Biologicals (NIB), Government of India).Timepoint: At Baseline, during or immediately after the plateletpheresis procedure.
