leukocyte filter

A Leukocyte Filter is a medical device used to remove white blood cells (leukocytes) from blood or blood components prior to transfusion. This process, known as leukoreduction, helps improve transfusion safety by minimizing adverse reactions and reducing the risk of complications.

Leukocyte filters are commonly used in blood banks, hospitals, and transfusion services to ensure higher quality blood products for patients.

 Key Features

•  Efficient removal of leukocytes from blood products
•  High filtration efficiency (typically >99%)
•  Compatible with whole blood and blood components
•  Sterile, single-use design
•  Maintains integrity of red cells and platelets
•  Easy integration with transfusion systems

 Applications

• Blood transfusion procedures
• Preparation of leukoreduced blood products
• Prevention of transfusion-related complications
• Use in hospitals, blood banks, and laboratories

 Benefits

• Reduces risk of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions
