BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of extended storage of pooled random platelets in SSP+ additive solution (MacoPharma). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight buffy coat-derived, pooled, leucoreduced platelet concentrates were prepared in 75% SSP+, 25% plasma using Fresenius/NPBI Composelect thrombocyte polishing filter (TPF) systems. Platelet concentrates were stored for 19 days in polyolefin storage bags and samples for in vitro analysis were taken at various time-points during storage. RESULTS: Platelet yields were lower than seen routinely when platelets are prepared in 100% plasma. The in vitro quality of the platelets stored in SSP+ was maintained until day 9. Glucose was depleted by day 12 and this was accompanied by a rapid fall in pCO2, a rise in pO2 and a cessation of lactate production. ATP and bicarbonate concentrations fell, the platelets began to swell and the ability to swirl decreased. Soluble P-selectin, glycocalicin, and regulated on activation, normal, T-cell expressed, and secreted (RANTES) concentrations increased, as did P-selectin expression. Loss of platelets and an increase in lacate hydrogenase concentration indicated that lysis had occurred. However, the pH remained between 6.4 and 7.4. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that SSP+ could be used for platelet storage for up to 9 days. However, the preparation of platelets in the additive requires some optimization. In vivo studies are required to confirm these in vitro results.
