Washed red blood cells are a special blood product in which red blood cells are washed twice with saline. This type of product will help reduce the risk of complications during blood transfusion, especially in subjects with a history of this.

Unlike packed red blood cells, leukocyte-poor red blood cells are characterized by very few or no white blood cells. Accordingly, the risk of transfusion complications is minimized, especially in patients who need multiple blood transfusions or have special conditions.
