Feasibility trial to evaluate recovery and survival of red blood cells (RBCs) from Mirasol-treated whole blood
Radiolabeling of red blood cells (RBCs) followed by infusion back to the donor is commonly used to test the quality of RBCs in a person. By measuring the level of radioisotope in a blood sample, these tests evaluate what percentage of the RBCs remain in the bloodstream after 24 hours (recovery) and can predict how long the RBCs will remain in circulation (survival). The IMPROVE trial is a feasibility trial to evaluate these parameters in RBCs obtained from whole blood units that have been treated with the Mirasol System.

Red Blood Cell (RBC) Recovery
The 24-hour recovery calculation was conducted to evaluate the percentage of labeled RBCs remaining in the circulation 24 hours after re-infusion of the cells, as compared to Time 0 measurements (time of re-infusion). FDA requires at least 75% recovery for new RBC processes.
Time frame: 24-hour post autologous infusion of RBCs
Predicted Total Lifespan of Red Blood Cells (RBCs), Based on 28-day RBC Survival
The objective of measuring 28-day survival was to identify the potential total lifespan of labeled RBCs in circulation. Normal, native RBCs remain in circulation for a maximum of approximately 120 days; by using the 51Cr half-life of approximately 28 days, and its elution rate from labeled RBCs, the survival of the labeled cells can be predicted.
Time frame: 28-days post autologous infusion of RBCs
Count of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
Time frame: 28-days post autologous infusion of RBCs
