3. Important Facts! 7-day platelets are 510(k) cleared by FDA –Gambro BCT, Inc. –Fenwal, Inc. PASSPORT = The post-marketing surveillance of 7- day platelets (a.k.a., Phase IV trial) –Not IND or IDE study as a prerequisite for clearance PASSPORT has: –An explicitly stated primary hypothesis with a written analysis plan which was reviewed and accepted by FDA –The planned analysis has not been conducted and the primary hypothesis has not been tested

4. Important Facts! Assumptions: 1.True contamination rate: 178/M (1/5618) to 349/M (1/2865), [based on one bottle testing] 2.The Release Test would detect at least 50% Therefore, residual risk ~100/M (1/10,000) This lead to the SAMPLE size calculation:  4 positive out of 50K surveillance tests Upper 95% CL of no more than 1/5K (200/M) residual risk NB: These risks are NOT weighted for the clinical risk that may be presented by organism or day the organism may be detectable.

8. 7-Day Platelet Release Test Sampling 24 - 36 h post apheresis collection 4-5 mL aliquots of SDP in both one aerobic and one anaerobic culture bottles Release if no growth indicated after 24 h on test Culture bottles remain on test until positive or SDP expiry Standard practices indicated for microbiology and clinical follow-up for any positive cultures.

10. PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS 7 Day SDP when tested using the BTA Device and Methods as described (i.e., at 24-36 hours post collection, aerobic and anaerobic bottles) will not present a greater risk of a detectable bacterially contaminated platelet unit than 5 Day SDP untested for bacterial contamination. “New endpoint [for a modified study design]: estimate residual bacterial risk for a 7 day old platelet unit tested for bacteria on day 1. Approve 7 day platelet storage if the bacterial risk at day 7 is lower than the current bacterial risk of untested platelet products.” FDA’s Current Thinking on Bacterial Detection in Platelets. ACBSA. August 27, 2004

11. SPECIFIC AIMS Determine the Specificity, Sensitivity, Negative Predictive Value, and Positive Predictive Value of the 2-bottle Release Test. Determine prevalence of bacterial contamination for untested and for 2 bottle BTA tested SDP. Determine performance contribution of the anaerobic bottle to the BTA and assess the need for anaerobic culturing in this application.
