INTRODUCTION: Automated blood cell separators are commonly used for autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparation. Although these devices ensure stable platelet concentrations, low contamination, and high reproducibility, unified protocols remain lacking. This study explored a collection protocol that uses real-time visual feedback and dynamic parameter adjustment.
METHODS: In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed 35 autologous PRP collections. Visual criteria (pale lemon-yellow appearance, uniform turbidity, absence of macroscopically visible particles) and adjustment rules were developed. Platelet concentration, enrichment factor, and residual red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell levels were assessed.
RESULTS: Median platelet concentration was 1500 × 109/L (IQR, 1031-1618 × 109/L), and the mean (SD) enrichment factor was 6.33 (2.76); 71.43% (25/35) of products fell within a range of 1000 to 1800 × 109/L, consistent with reported 3-fold to 8-fold enrichment. Red blood cell counts ranged from 0 to 0.20 × 1012/L. No macroscopic RBCs were detected, but 37.1% (13/35) of RBCs exceeded a threshold of 0.05 × 1012/L. White blood cell counts ranged from 0 to 1.69 × 109/L, below the leukocyte-poor threshold proposed by Kikuchi et al.
DISCUSSION: This study presented a protocol capable of producing PRP within the therapeutic range and achieving effective leukocyte control. Our findings provide a practical strategy for translating subjective experience into objective, trainable procedures. Given the limitations of small sample size and subjective visual criteria, further prospective machine vision validation is warranted.
