Efficacy of Training in Manual Preparation of Platelet Rich Plasma

July 22, 2013 updated by: Noel Peterson, N.D., Peterson, Noel, N.D.

Efficacy of Training in Preparation of Platelet Rich Plasma Using a Standard Centrifuge and Manual Pipetting Methods

This is a device study in some respects, in that specialized centrifuges are commonly used to make platelet rich plasma, and we are studying the use of standard laboratory equipment to do so. However, it is primarily interventional in that we will evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Platelet Concentration Ability After 8 Hours of Training.
Time Frame: 8 Hours After Onset of Training
Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations.
8 Hours After Onset of Training

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Retention of Platelet Concentration Ability At One Month.
Time Frame: Minimum 30 days after training day.
Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations performed 30 days or longer after the training day.
Minimum 30 days after training day.
