Oxygen Depletion Device (ODD)

Anaerobically Stored Red Blood Cells with Extended Shelf Life

• Develop a novel blood storage system that will extend the shelf life of additive system red cell units
  
  
• Deliver red cells of higher efficacy and lower toxicity for transfusion therapy
  
  
• Red cells are stored in a modified additive solution under oxygen-depleted condition (anaerobic storage).
