Patent number: 10612000Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of making a cell-containing product having a uniform amount of cells therein. The method comprises pooling red blood cells from a plurality of blood units, and inactivating any pathogen contained therein. A storage solution added to the cellular component results in a cell-containing product that is essentially pathogen and white blood cell free and has an extended shelf life of about 42 to about 100 days. The cell-containing product is further divided into units which comprise a uniform dose of RBCs per unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: New York Blood Center, Inc.Inventors: Beth H. Shaz, Christopher D. Hillyer

Patent number: 9394518Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for preparing both a red blood cell (RBC)-containing product and a platelet-containing product from a plurality of blood units. The method comprises leukoreducing a plurality of blood units, separating RBCs, platelets, and plasma from the units to form leukoreduced blood components, pooling the leukoreduced RBC components; pooling the leukoreduced platelet components, treating the pooled components to inactivate one or more pathogens, adding a storage solution to components, dividing the pooled leukoreduced RBCs into a plurality of RBC-containing product units, each having a uniform number of RBCs, and dividing the pooled leukoreduced platelets into a plurality of platelet-containing product units, each having a uniform number of platelets.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: The New York Blood Center, Inc.Inventors: Beth H.
