Universal Collection - - A New Approach to Prevent Wasting Valuable Blood

With the availability of the Acrodose PLus System, Pall is also introducing a new approach that makes universal blood collection possible so that blood centers will no longer have to determine in advance what type of blood components to collect. Most often when collections are done, especially by mobile units, blood centers have to take their best guess on which blood components are needed by hospitals for their patients -- red cells, plasma and/or platelets-- and set up their collections to do that.

Together they allow blood collection facilities to collect whole blood with one universal collection and filtration system and make the determination of which components to process after they return -- closer to real time when the hospital orders their blood components based on actual patient needs.

The Leukotrap RC System with RC2D Filter gives blood centers greater flexibility in helping to meet transfusion needs, conserve blood through enhanced processing and avoid problems of wasting valuable blood resources. The universal aspect of this collection system gives them options on which blood components to process while also maximizing blood component return.
