“…In addition, FS-RBC has higher ATP and 2,3-DPG content close to fresh RBC resulting in superior oxygen carrying capacity [1]. Reduction of WBC and other biological active substances which contributes to immunomodulatory effects in recipients during washing of FS-RBC leads to significant reduction in transfusion reactions [2]. FS-RBC is screened for infectious markers in advance.…”

“…High cost, difficulty in preparation and short shelf life of thawed FS-RBC were deterrents that dampened the enthusiasm for FS-RBC usages [1]. Advancement in technology during last few years wit the introduction of ACP TM 215 Haemonetics cell processing system (ACP 215) in preparation of FS-RBC has taken care of most of deterrents of FS-RBC [2,3]. In this background, there is need to re-look at FS-RBC as part of Frozen Blood Programme for Indian Armed Forces.…”

“…ACP 215 uses disposable glycerolization or deglycerolization kits. The machine is easy to operate for both protocols [2,3]. The sterile connecting device (SCD) is used for attaching additional bags and compatible tubing to a blood bag without breaking sterile integrity of the system [4].…”

“…The major event to simplify the washing of human RBC treatedwith 40% W/V glycerol was the introduction in 1998 by Haemonetics Corporation, Braintree, MA of the Automated Cell Processor (ACP) 215 which is a functionally closed instrument to glycerolize and deglycerolize the red blood cells with storage in the additive solution AS-3 (Nutricel) at 4°C for 2 weeks which is an FDA approved procedure [13][14][15].…”

“…Universal donor group O Rh positive and group O Rh negative RBC treated with 40% W/V glycerol and stored at -80°C for at least 10 years, thawed and deglycerolized using the Haemonetics ACP215 instrument stored in AS-3 (Nutricel) at 4°C for 2 weeks have 24-hour posttransfusion survival of 75%, moderately impaired oxygen transport function and less than 1% hemolysis [13,14]. The freezing of universal donor group O Rh positive and group O Rh negative red blood cells with 40% W/V glycerol and frozen at -80°C in mechanical freezers provide red blood cells which are viable and functional with less than 1% hemolysis and with residual total white blood cell count of 1 X 10 7 per unit, and less than 5% residual plasma level [3].…”

MA has been supported for the past 50 years by the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Naval Medical Research and Development Command, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop, test, and evaluate procedures to preserve blood and blood products to treat military and civilian personnel subjected to trauma and radiation injury. Human RBC have been successfully frozen at -80°C for at least 21 years; human platelets have been successfully frozen for at least 2 years; human plasma has been successfully frozen at -80°C for at least 14 years; and human peripheral blood mononuclear hematopoietic stem cells have been successfully frozen at -80°C for at least 1½ years. The 50 year experience at the NBRL, Boston, MA has demonstrated that frozen red blood cell cells, frozen platelets, and frozen plasma can be used to successfully treat wounded casualties without any adverse events.Extensive in vitro studies have been published together with in vivo studies in normal volunteers, patients with hematologic disorders, patients subjected to surgical procedures with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, and patients subjected to traumatic injuries [1][2][3]. In addition, studies were performed on dogs and baboons to assess the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of autologous and allogeneic blood products.During the past 50 years, the preservation of the safe and therapeutically effective viable and functional RBC, platelets, plasma clotting protein and peripheral blood mononuclear hematopoietic stem cells has been accomplished by freezing and storage in a -80°C mechanical freezer.Storage of blood products in a -80°C mechanical freezer produces a freezing rate of 2 to 3°C per minute.Human RBC have been successfully frozen with 40% W/V glycerol at -80°C for at least 21 years [4]; human platelets have been successfully frozen at -80°C with 6% DMSO for at least 2 years [5,6] human plasma has been successfully frozen at -80°C for at least 14 years [7] and human peripheral blood mononuclear hematopoietic stem cells have been successfully frozen at -80°C for at least 1½ years [8].The freezing rate of 2-3°C per minute which occurs with the storage of platelets in a -80°C mechanical freezer produces a bimodal population of human and baboon platelets. The bimodal population represents a population of platelets that circulates like platelets stored at room temperature and a population of platelets that functions shortly after transfusion like platelets stored at 4°C [9][10][11][12].The procedures to freeze human RBC with 40% W/V glycerol, AbstractFor the past 50 years, NBRL has evaluated the cryopreservation of RBC, platelets, peripheral blood pluripotential hematopoietic mononuclear adult stem cells, and plasma to treat military personnel subjected to traumatic injuries and those exposed to radiation injury.The research was funded by the US-Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, the Office of Naval Research and the Congress of the United States to provide frozen blood products to supplement the liquid preserved blood produc...
