Blood Components	The blood components available are: Whole Blood Packed Red Blood Cells Platelet Concentrates Fresh Frozen Plasma Cryoprecipitate Cryosupernatant
Leuco-reduced packed cells	For RBC, the leucocyte is reduced to less than 5 x 10⁶ per unit by using specialised filter.Leucocyte reduced bloods are indicated: to prevent febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions in patients who have experienced two or more such reactions to minimise the risk of transfusion related CMV transmission to minimise HLA alloimmunization
