Extension of platelet shelf life with an improved bacterial testing algorithm.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:At Canadian Blood Services, platelet concentrate (PC) shelf life was extended to 7 days with a large-volume, delayed-sampling bacterial screening algorithm. We present the development study and postimplementation results. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:In the development study, PCs inoculated with five bacteria (various concentrations) were incubated for 7 days with daily sampling for BacT/ALERT cultures and bacterial quantification. After implementation, from August 2017 to December 2019, a total of 223 156 pools and 39 725 apheresis units and 5310 outdated PCs were screened. Since March 2018, cocomponents associated to false-positive results have been released to inventory. RESULTS:In the development study, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, and Staphylococcus aureus were detected at concentrations of at least 0.01 colony-forming units (CFUs)/mL at 24 hours postinoculation. However, Staphylococcus epidermidis was detected at concentrations of less than 0.16 CFUs/mL only more than 48 hours postinoculation. After implementation, 776 (0.35%) and 303 (0.77%) initial-positive results and 201 (0.09%) and 16 (0.04%) confirmed-positive results were obtained for pools and apheresis units, respectively, predominantly with Cutibacterium acnes. Other organisms included staphylococci, streptococci, Klebsiella oxytoca and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. One nonfatal reaction involving a 7-day pool contaminated with S. epidermidis occurred. Approximately, 1-in-1000 false-negative screening results were obtained during testing of outdated PCs. Approximately 1000 cocomponents associated with false-positive results were released into inventory. Combined PC outdating at Canadian Blood Services and hospitals was reduced from 18.9% to 13.1%. CONCLUSION:Screening of 7-day PCs increased bacterial detection mainly of anaerobes and reduced outdating. The incidence of septic transfusion events has decreased approximately threefold. A longer surveillance period is needed to evaluate the value of anaerobic cultures and residual safety risk.
