Summary

This study aims to see if a new blood processing system can safely preserve red blood cells for transfusion as well as the current standard method. Healthy volunteers will donate their own blood, which will be stored for 35 days, processed with either the new or standard system, and then returned to them with a tiny, safe radioactive tag. Researchers will track how many of these cells remain in the body over time to measure their quality and lifespan.
