New software aims to prevent fainting in plasma donors
NCT ID NCT06122935
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new computer program (nomogram) for the Aurora Xi plasmapheresis system, which collects plasma from donors. The goal was to see if the new software could lower the risk of sudden drops in blood pressure (hypotension) during donation. Over 6,700 donors took part, and researchers compared the rate of serious hypotensive events between the new and old software versions.
