Platelets collected by using apheresis at an American Red Cross donation center. Not all platelet transfusions use platelets collected by automated apheresis. The platelets can also be separated from donations of whole blood collected in a traditional blood donation, but there are several advantages to separating the platelets at the time of collection.

[4] PBM includes techniques that may help ensure each person receiving a blood transfusion receives optimal treatment for their condition and also ensures that the blood supply (bank of donated blood) is maintained to ensure that all people who require ...

If antigen negative platelets are unavailable, then standard neonatal platelet transfusions should be given until antigen negative platelets become available.
