Definitions of Efficiency of Filtration Processes
The mechanism of white cell (WBC) retention by synthetic fiber‐based WBC filters was studied. Filters were made of nonwoven fleece prepared from polyester, surface‐modified polyester, or polypropylene fibers. Human platelet concentrates were filtered through experimental filters consisting of 8 to 54 layers of nonwoven fleece with mean pore sizes from 7.3 to 14.2 microns. Filters made of fleece of smaller pore size removed WBCs less effectively than filters with larger‐pore fleece. Retention of lymphocytes and granulocytes gradually dropped to 0 percent as increasing loads were applied to the filters. The maximal retention capacity for these cell types (i.e., the number of cells retained when “saturating” numbers of WBCs were applied) was proportional to the number of layers of filter material used. Platelet retention did not correlate with WBC retention. Depth filtration, rather than mechanical sieving, seems to be the principal means of WBC removal by nonwoven fiber filters. A low initial number of WBCs in the component to be filtered is important for successful WBC filtration.
