ABSTRACT:
Closed blood bag system for long term storage of red blood cells (RBCs) without contamination due to storage. System comprises the combination of a white blood cell (WBC) filter in sterile communication with a plastic bag made from a film substantially free of blood extractable plasticizers. In use, an RBC preservative solution (preferably from within the closed system) is added to a mixture of RBCs and WBCs and the mixture is then passed through the filter to remove at least 98% of the WBCs. The filtered RBCs and preservative solution pass into the attached bag and can then be stored in the attached bag for up to 42 days.
