a. If the apheresis team decides that a central venous catheter (CVC) is to be placed, platelet count should be ≥ 50,000 prior to catheter placement.
10. Have hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dL as assessed within 24 hours prior to the procedure
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants who meet any of the following criteria are excluded from the study:
