Helmer Scientific Launches Pro Line Countertop Platelet Storage Systems
Pro Line Countertop Platelet Storage Systems are designed to provide optimized platelet storage and support blood bank compliance. They combine innovations in performance, reliability and efficiency to keep platelet supplies safe and ready for use. Powered by AdvanceCore Thermoelectric Heating and Cooling Technology, this solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration system heats and cools only as needed to achieve and maintain the optimal temperature for platelet storage while reducing energy consumption and noise levels.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind., August 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Helmer Scientific, a leading supplier of cold storage and processing equipment, has announced the release of Pro Line Platelet Storage Systems. These countertop platelet storage systems have been designed to offer optimized platelet storage and support blood bank compliance. Pro Line Platelet Incubators and Agitators combine innovations in performance, reliability and efficiency to keep platelet supplies safe and ready to use.
Life-saving platelet products are critical to patient care for trauma, cancer and other patients undergoing therapies that depress the production of platelets and must be stored reliably and correctly. Platelets must be stored with continual agitation and strict room temperature requirements to keep them viable. Pro Line Platelet Storage Systems offer blood bank personnel precise temperature uniformity of +/-1°C at a set point between 20 and 24°C, providing consistent temperature throughout the unit. This temperature management is critical to ensure that platelet products will not be compromised by temperature fluctuations.
Pro Line Platelet Incubators and Agitators have been designed to combat high noise levels in hospital and blood center settings. The Helmer Scientific Pro Line systems have a noise output with nearly a 10-fold decrease in sound intensity over conventional platelet systems to improve usability in staff work areas.
Pro Line Platelet Storage Systems are over 80% more energy efficient than traditional platelet incubators. Additionally, reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency reduces the total cost of ownership.
Pro Line performance characteristics are achieved by utilizing AdvanceCore™ Thermoelectric Heating and Cooling Technology. AdvanceCore is a solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration system that automatically heats and cools only as needed to achieve and maintain the optimal temperature for platelet storage. Additionally, the Pro Line AdvanceCore system does not use hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, which eliminates gases targeted under the US EPA SNAP program, Paris Climate Agreement, Montreal Protocol and EU F-Gas Initiative.
Pro Line Storage Systems are monitored by the exclusive i.C3® information center which provides constant temperature monitoring and control, password protected settings, and reporting fuctionality to keep products safe and support blood bank compliance. The AgiTrak™ agitation performance monitoring system is integrated with the i.C3 information center and provides real-time agitator monitoring information to ensure agitation compliance.
"Helmer Scientific is very proud to release our new Pro Line Countertop Platelet Storage Systems," said Tom Larkner, Helmer Scientific Strategic Products R&D Manager. "Launching new and innovative products is part of our commitment to serving and supporting our blood bank and transfusion service customers."
The Pro Line Platelet Systems are part of the Helmer Scientific portfolio of medical-grade storage solutions. They are currently available in countertop models. For more information please visit http://info.helmerinc.com/proline.
