Abbie Newton: How Better Data Can Reduce Platelet Wastage
Abbie Newton, Account Manager UK and Ireland at Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Anna Lizoń et al., published in Vox Sanguinis, adding:
“Smarter platelet collection starts with better use of data.
An interesting study shared by International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) and published in Vox Sanguinis highlights how improved platelet inventory management and collection planning helped a blood centre in Poland reduce platelet expiry rates from 1.86% to just 0.04%.
The key takeaway? It’s not just about collecting more platelets, but collecting the right components, in the right quantities, at the right time.
This is where connected technologies such as Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies Trima Accel and TOMEs can support blood services, providing valuable collection data to help optimise apheresis operations and align collection strategies with clinical demand.
A great example of how data-driven approaches can support more efficient blood component collection and ultimately benefit patients.”
