چکیده
Sir, Visual anomalies are a common occurrence in the blood components. They come into light when blood components are visually inspected before issue. The US‐Food and Drug Administration issued an alert emphasizing on enhanced visual inspection of all blood components for the presence of white particulate matter (WPM) in 2003 and an AABB press release categorized them into four different patterns: Type I matter, consisting of 20–5000 small WPM per unit; Type II matter, consisting of 2–50 large WPM per unit; Type III matter, consisting of atypical bubbles; and Type IV matter, consisting of a yellow/white oil slick.[1]
