Precision Temperature Control, Gentle Agitation & Safe Platelet Preservation for Modern Blood Banking
Platelets are life-saving blood components used in the management of trauma, cancer, bleeding disorders, and major surgical procedures. To maintain their viability and therapeutic effectiveness, platelets require continuous gentle agitation and strict temperature control throughout storage. The ZJ-HPA-96-REC Platelet Agitator Incubator is designed to provide an optimal storage environment for platelet concentrates, ensuring compliance with blood banking standards while supporting safe transfusion practices in hospitals, blood banks, and transfusion centres across Accra, Ghana.
Introduction
Unlike red blood cells or plasma, platelets are highly sensitive biological products that require specialized storage conditions to preserve their function. Improper temperature regulation or lack of agitation can lead to platelet aggregation, loss of viability, and reduced transfusion efficacy. The ZJ-HPA-96-REC Platelet Agitator Incubator combines precise incubation technology with a built-in platelet agitator to maintain platelet concentrates at the recommended storage temperature while providing continuous horizontal agitation. This integrated system helps healthcare facilities improve blood component management, reduce wastage, and ensure the availability of high-quality platelet products for patient care.
Key Highlight
The ZJ-HPA-96-REC maintains platelet concentrates at a controlled temperature of 20°C–24°Cwhile providing continuous gentle agitation, helping preserve platelet viability, functionality, and transfusion safety.
Usage in Hospital Settings
The ZJ-HPA-96-REC is commonly used in blood banks, transfusion medicine departments, tertiary hospitals, cancer treatment centres, and blood product production facilities. After platelet collection and processing, platelet bags are placed inside the incubator where they are stored under controlled temperature conditions and subjected to gentle continuous agitation. Laboratory personnel monitor platelet inventory while ensuring that units remain suitable for transfusion until required for patients. The system plays an important role in supporting emergency transfusions, oncology treatments, major surgeries, bone marrow transplantation, and management of patients with thrombocytopenia.
Key Specifications
- The ZJ-HPA-96-REC is designed specifically for the storage and preservation of platelet concentrates under regulated blood banking conditions.
- It maintains a controlled storage temperature range of 20°C to 24°C, meeting standard platelet storage requirements.
- Temperature control is achieved through a microprocessor-based monitoring and regulation system for enhanced precision and stability.
- Temperature accuracy is typically maintained within ±0.5°C to ensure optimal platelet preservation.
- The incubator incorporates an integrated platelet agitator capable of accommodating approximately 96 platelet bags, making it suitable for medium- to high-volume blood banks.
- The agitation mechanism provides continuous horizontal reciprocating motion to maintain platelets in suspension and prevent aggregation.
- Oscillation amplitude is approximately 50 mm, ensuring uniform platelet movement during storage.
- Agitation frequency operates at approximately 60 cycles per minute, supporting optimal platelet viability throughout the storage period.
- The internal chamber is constructed from medical-grade SS304 stainless steel, providing durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning.
- The refrigeration system utilizes environmentally friendly R134A refrigerant with forced-air circulation for uniform temperature distribution.
- The incubator features an LCD digital display panel for real-time monitoring of temperature, agitation status, and alarm conditions.
- Integrated UV sterilization technology helps maintain a cleaner storage environment and reduce microbial contamination risks.
- The system includes automatic frost prevention and defrost functions to support long-term operation and minimize maintenance requirements.
