Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

The FDA requires that preserved RBC have 24-hour post
transfusion survival of 75%, However, they make no regulations
requiring the function of the RBC immediately or shortly after
transfusion. One should not assume that because the survival of
preserved RBC and preserved platelets is satisfactory, their ability to
function following transfusion will also be satisfactory. The FDA also
assumes that when a sick patient receives 25% nonviable compatible
RBC with a transfusion, the recipient will suffer no adverse effects.
Although there are no data to show how many nonviable compatible
RBC can be safely administered to sick patients, it is known that if
a patient receives 10 units of RBC with a 24-hour posttransfusion
survival value of 75%, then 2.5 units of the RBC will be nonviable. The
removalofthesecompatiblenonviableRBCbytheReticuloendothelial
(RE) system may interfere with the removal of infectious disease
agents, tumor cells, particulate matter present in the stored RBC, and
could affect cellular and humoral immunity.
The FDA considers preserved platelets to be acceptable if the in
vivo recovery is 66% that of fresh platelets and the lifespan is 50% that
of fresh platelets but again offers no guidelines with regard to their
hemostatic function. Although in vitro levels of RBC ATP, DPG and
p50 levels give an indication of the in vivo function of the preserved
RBC, there are no in vitro tests that can predict the in vivo function
of fresh and preserved platelets. Studies at the NBRL have shown that
when preserved platelets function satisfactorily they will correct an
aspirin induced prolonged bleeding time in normal volunteers and in
healthy baboons [2,3].
Liquid preserved autologous platelets that were stored at room
temperature (22+2ºC) with agitation for up to 48 hours were found
to have acceptable in vivo recovery and survival and were able to
function to reduce an aspirin-induced prolonged bleeding time in
normal volunteers and healthy baboons. On the other hand, when
autologous baboon platelets were stored at room temperature for 3 or
5 days, they did circulate but did not reduce the prolonged bleeding
time in aspirin treated healthy baboons [4-7].
Between 1988 and 1992, the NBRL collaborated with Shukri
Khuri, Chief of Surgery and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the
West Roxbury Veteran’s Administration Hospital, to evaluate liquid
preserved and washed previously frozen platelets transfused to
Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) patients [6]. The previously frozen
platelets had been frozen with 6% DMSO at 2-3ºC per minute and
stored at -80ºC for a mean of 289+193 days (SD) and for as long
as 2 years and were washed prior to transfusion. A prospective
randomized study was conducted in 73 patients undergoing CPB
surgery. The study was designed to measure nonsurgical blood loss
in 53 patients, twenty (20) patients were excluded because of surgical
blood loss, i.e. blood loss not related to the surgical procedure and
not controlled by surgical intervention after neutralization of the
heparin with protamine sulfate. Nonsurgical blood loss was collected
intraoperatively and during the 24-hour postoperative period.
The allogeneic single donor washed previously frozen platelets
transfused to these patients had been processed in the following
manner. The platelets were frozen at the University of Massachusetts
in Worcester, Massachusetts, and transported in the frozen state with
dry ice to the NBRL where they were stored in -80ºC mechanical
freezers for at least 3 months. They were then transported in the frozen
state in insulated containers with dry ice to West Roxbury Veteran’s
Administration Hospital blood bank where they were stored at -80ºC
in mechanical freezers. After thawing, the platelets were washed and
stored in ACD plasma at room temperature without agitation for as
long as 5 hours. The platelets were transfused to the patients after the
CPB surgery. Twenty-nine (29) patients received liquid preserved
platelets and 24 patients received the frozen platelets.
The prospective randomized study compared the need for
allogeneic RBCs and Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) to treat the
nonsurgical blood loss in the two groups of patients. The patients who
received previously frozen washed platelets showed a reduction in the
nonsurgical blood loss and required fewer units of allogeneic RBC
and FFP than the patients who received liquid preserved platelets
stored with agitation at 22ºC for a mean of 3.4 days. The platelet
survival 2 hours after transfusion was 37% for patients who received
the liquid preserved platelets compared to 24% for the patients who
received the previously frozen washed platelets [6].
The total number of liquid preserved platelets infused was
6.9X1011
+3.9X1011
per patient which was significantly greater than
the 4.5X1011
+2.1X1011
per patient for the previously frozen washed
platelets. The difference was the result of the in vitro loss of platelets
in which 70% of the platelets were recovered following the freeze-
thaw-wash procedure. The in vivo recovery and function of the liquid
preserved and cryopreserved platelets in these patients were similar
to values seen in studies in which liquid preserved and cryopreserved
platelets were transfused to aspirin-treated human volunteers and
baboons. Although in this study, the in vivo recovery values were
higher for the liquid preserved allogeneic platelets than for the
washed previously frozen platelets, nonsurgical blood loss was lower
in the patients who received the washed previously frozen platelets
and they required fewer units of allogeneic RBCs and FFP [6].
In the paper in Transfusion [7] Bilgin YM and associates reported
the postoperative complications associated with transfusion of
platelets and plasma in cardiac surgery. The authors reported that
to improve hemostasis, platelets and Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)
are often transfused in the perioperative and postoperative period,
however, neither the efficacy nor the safety of platelets and plasma
transfusions have been demonstrated. The authors failed to identify
that the paper written by Khuri SF and associates described above
compared the effects of cryopreserved and liquid preserved platelets
on hemostasis and blood loss after cardiopulmonary bypass [6]. The
prospective randomized study compared the need for liquid preserved
red blood cells stored at 4 C and fresh frozen plasma stored at -20ºC
to treat the nonsurgical blood loss in the two groups of patients.
Although the in vivo recovery values of the liquid preserved platelets
were higher than those of the previously frozen washed platelets,
the patients who received the washed previously frozen platelets
had significantly reduced nonsurgical blood loss and required fewer
units of liquid preserved red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma than
the patients who received liquid preserved platelets stored at room
temperature for a mean of 3.4 days with agitation. No adverse effects
were observed in either group [6-8].
In 2000 the NBRL modified the method of freezing platelets with
6% DMSO at 2-3ºC per minute by storage in a -80ºC mechanical
freezer. Similar to the method our laboratory used to simplify RBC

freezing by removing the supernatant glycerol prior to freezing, the
NBRL simplified freezing of platelets by removal of the supernatant
DMSO prior to freezing. Removal of the supernatant DMSO
removes about 95% of the DMSO and eliminates the need for post-
thaw washing prior to transfusion [9]. With the modified method
the previously frozen platelets did not require washing prior to
transfusion. When platelets are washed the in vitro recovery is
reduced by 25%. With the modified method, the thawed platelets
are not washed but are diluted with 10 ml to 20 ml of 0.9% NaCl
and stored without agitation at room temperature for 6 hours. The
Freeze-Thaw (FT) recovery is approximately 90%, with 5-8% platelet
microparticles, in vivo recovery is 25-30%, and the linear lifespan is 7
days. The diluted platelets have a bimodal population: one population
is GPIb-normal and annexin V-reduced and the other is GPIb-
reduced with increased annexin V binding.
Lelkens CCM and associates have reported the use by the
Netherlands military of: Group O Rh positive and group O Rh
negative RBC frozen with 40% W/V glycerol and stored at -80ºC for
at least 10 years; group O single donor leukoreduced platelets frozen
with 5% DMSO with removal of the supernatant DMSO solution
before freezing and storage at -80ºC for at least 2 years and following
thawing resuspended in AB plasma; and AB plasma stored at ‑30ºC
and then at -80ºC for at least 10 years to treat patients who required
these blood products [10-12].
Lelkens CCM and associates experience in the Netherlands
military have demonstrated for the first time that frozen RBC,
frozen platelets and frozen plasma stored at -80ºC can be used to
treat patients without the need for a “walking blood bank” and fresh
whole blood [13-15]. Henkelman S and G Rakhorst in Transfusion
[16] have similarly reported the safety and therapeutic effectiveness
of frozen RBC, frozen platelets, and frozen plasma stored in -80ºC
mechanical freezers to treat combat casualties without the need for
fresh whole blood.
The past 50 years have seen many significant improvements in
cryopreservation procedures. Removing supernatant glycerol from
RBC and DMSO from platelets prior to freezing have simplified the
postthawprocessing.Plateletsdilutedwith10mlto20mlof0.9%NaCl
after thawing can be stored at room temperature without agitation
for 6 hours prior to use. With the functionally closed Haemonetics
ACP215 instrument, deglycerolized RBC can be stored at 4 C in AS-3
(Nutricel) for 2 weeks. With this instrument, the volume of solution
needed to deglycerolize RBC is now only 2.0 liters compared to 3.2
liters with the Haemonetics Blood Processor 115 and 6.8 liters with
the Huggins cytoglomerator [1]. Mechanical freezers maintained at
-80ºC are needed for the storage of these safe and therapeutically
effective frozen blood products for use by both the military and
civilian communities to supplement the liquid preservation of RBC
stored at 4ºC, platelets stored at 22ºC with agitation, and fresh frozen
plasma and cryoprecipitate stored at -20ºC. The -80ºC mechanical
freezer contains a dual-cascade air-cooled compressor and is
attached to a carbon dioxide tank to be triggered to add the liquid
carbon dioxide when the temperature decreases to -65ºC because of
electrical or mechanical failures can be deployed in combat areas by
the military. Frozen blood products consisting of RBC, platelets, and
plasma can be transported using dry ice in insulated containers which
maintain the temperature of -65ºC to -80ºC as documented by the
experience of the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War in 1968 to 1974
and the Netherlands military in the Middle East combat zones in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Bosnia in 2000 to 2012.
The Netherlands military has been actively freezing universal
donor group O Rh positive and group O Rh negative RBC, single
donor leukoreduced frozen group O platelets and frozen AB plasma
in -80 C mechanical freezers. These frozen blood products have
been collected from donors meeting FDA regulations that were
safely transported and stored in -80ºC mechanical freezers without
breakage. These blood products have been obtained from screened
blood donors and tested for the mandated infectious markers prior
to freezing and have eliminated the need for fresh whole blood or
apheresed leukoreduced platelets stored at room temperature for 5
days with agitation to treat patients suffering traumatic injuries with
therapeutically effective outcomes and without adverse events.
Dr. John Badloe at the ATACCC meeting on August 16, 2010
at St. Pete, Florida reported that in Afghanistan from 2000 to 2010,
859 patients received 6,335 blood products which include 1918 units
of frozen red blood cells, 841 units of liquid preserved red blood
cells, 2560 units of frozen plasma and 1,016 units of frozen platelets
with no transfusion reactions. Fresh whole blood was not used by
the Netherlands military because the fresh whole blood could not
be tested prior to transfusion for the mandated infectious disease
markers whereas all the frozen blood products were tested for the
mandated infectious disease markers prior to freezing from the
donors who were screened prior to donation.
Dr. Badloe reported the Netherlands military experience in the
Middle East war zones using frozen blood products, i.e. frozen group
O Rh positive and group O Rh negative RBC, frozen AB plasma, and
frozen group O single donor leukoreduced platelets with removal
of supernatant DMSO, all frozen and stored at -80ºC in mechanical
freezers at ratio of 1:1:1 increased survival of patients from 44% to
84%. No adverse events were reported and only frozen blood products
which were safe, available, effective and efficient in the treatment of
patients requiring at least 10 units of red blood cells in a 24-hour
period for resuscitation were used without the need for fresh whole
blood.
An abstract which was reported by Dr. John Badloe and Dr. Femke
Noorman from the Ministry of Defense, Military Blood Bank, Leiden,
Netherland at the annual meeting of the American Association of
Blood Banks (AABB), San Diego, CA October 22-25, 2011 confirms
the procedures provided by the NBRL, Boston, MA to freeze human
RBC, plasma, and platelets in -80ºC mechanical freezers. This report
by the Netherlands military demonstrates that fresh whole blood
advocated by Colonel William Crosby and the U.S. Army is no longer
used by the Netherlands military and the fresh whole blood can be
replaced by frozen RBC, frozen plasma, and frozen platelets with
significantly improved survival of the massively transfused patients
[15]. Dr. Femke Noorman and Dr. John Badloe and associates also
presented one oral presentation and three [3] poster presentations on
the use of frozen blood products at the AABB annual meeting from
October 6-9, 2012 in Boston, MA [15].

platelets, and plasma by the Netherlands military has demonstrated
the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of these frozen blood products
without the need for fresh whole blood or apheresed platelets to treat
military and civilian casualties requiring more than 10 units of red
blood cells within a 24-hour period in combat zones in Afghanistan
and Iraq. It is of interest that the Netherlands investigators pioneered
the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze blood products but now utilize
-80ºC mechanical freezers to freeze red blood cells, platelets and
plasma to treat combat casualties.
Studies can now be done to compare the safety and therapeutic
effectiveness of universal donor RBC frozen for at least 10 years,
group O platelets frozen for at least 2 years, and AB plasma frozen for
at least 10 years (all blood products frozen and stored at -80ºC with a
range of -65ºC to -90ºC) without the need for fresh whole blood to the
current use of fresh whole blood, liquid preserved RBC stored at 4ºC
in additive solutions for as long as 42 days, single donor leukoreduced
apheresed platelets stored with agitation at room temperature for 5
days, and fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate stored at -20ºC for
one year on mortality and morbidity in the recipients.
For the past 50 years the Naval Blood Research Laboratory,
Boston, MA has been supported by the U.S. Navy to study the safety
and therapeutic effectiveness of frozen RBC, frozen platelets and
frozen plasma to treat wounded casualties. Human RBC treated
with 40% W/V glycerol with the removal of the supernatant glycerol
prior to freezing at -80ºC for 10 years, thawed, deglycerolized using
the Haemonetics Blood Processor ACP215 instrument and stored in
AS-3 at 4 C for 2 weeks; single donor group O leukoreduced platelets
treated with 6% DMSO, concentrated to remove the supernatant
DMSO prior to freezing of the platelets in a -80ºC mechanical freezer
for at least 2 years, thawed, diluted with 0.9% NaCl and stored at
room temperature for 6 hours, and group AB plasma frozen at -80ºC
for at least 10 years, thawed and stored at 4 C for 24 hours are now
available to treat wounded casualties.
For the past 15 years frozen group O Rh positive and group O Rh
negative RBC; frozen single donor leukoreduced group O platelets
concentrated to remove the supernatant DMSO prior to freezing
with 5% DMSO at -80ºC and, after thawing, resuspended in AB
plasma; and frozen AB plasma have been used by the Netherlands
military to treat wounded casualties. Using these blood products,
the Netherlands military in combat zones in Afghanistan, Iraq,
and Bosnia has reported significant improvement in the survival of
wounded casualties who required more than 10 units of red blood
cells in a 24 hour period from 44% to 84%. The blood products were
transfused at a ratio of 4 units of frozen group O red blood cells, 3
units of frozen AB plasma, and one unit of single donor group O
leukoreduced platelets containing 2.5 to 3.0 X 1011
platelets with no
adverse effects.
The recent paper by Henkelman S and Rakhorst G “Does modern
combat still need fresh whole blood transfusions?” reported that the
Dutch military blood bank eliminated the use of fresh whole blood
on site and implemented the routine use of frozen group O Rh
positive and group O Rh negative deglycerolized RBC, frozen single
donor leukoreduced group O platelets, and frozen AB plasma to treat
wounded casualties in war zones [16]. The RBC, platelets, and plasma
are frozen and stored at -80ºC in mechanical freezers. Following
thawing, the deglycerolized RBC are stored at 4ºC in the additive
solution AS-3 for 14 days, the thawed AB plasma stored at 4 C for 7
days, and the thawed single donor leukoreduced platelets containing
2.5 to 3.0X1011
platelets in AB plasma stored at room temperature for
6 hours.
A comparison between the U.S. Army procedures and the
Netherlands procedures to provide blood products to treat
combat casualties needs to be performed to determine the logistic
requirements, outdating of blood products, compatibility, cost of
transportation, availability, safety and therapeutic effectiveness. The
quality and quantity of the blood products to resuscitate casualties
requiring at least 10 units of red blood cells in a 24-hour period and
the mortality and morbidity utilizing the U.S. Army procedures
compared to the Netherlands procedures in combat zones need to
be determined. The Netherlands military has documented that -80ºC
frozen red blood cells, plasma and platelets were deployable, available,
compatible, safe and effective in the treatment of trauma patients with
or without massive blood loss in military theatre.
InthestudytocomparetheproceduresutilizedbytheNetherlands
military to the current FDA approved procedures to provide blood
products; the volume and composition of the resuscitation fluids
used with the blood products need to be reported. The morbidity and
mortality associated with the current FDA approved blood products
can be compared to the use of frozen RBC, frozen platelets, and
frozen plasma without the need for fresh whole blood and apheresed
platelets which Netherlands military has successfully utilized to treat
combat casualties in war zones from August 2006 to February 2012;
2,175 units of frozen RBC, 1,070 units of frozen platelets, 3,001 units
of frozen plasma and 879 units of liquid preserved RBC stored at 4 C
were transfused to 1,011 casualties without any transfusion reactions
observed. The blood products were obtained from pre-screened
donors and the blood products were tested for infectious diseases
prior to freezing [15].
For the past 15 years, the Netherlands military have utilized
universal donor RBC, platelets and plasma all frozen and stored
at -80ºC in a mechanical freezer to treat wounded casualties with
excellent clinical results and without adverse events. The data
reported by the NBRL over the past 50 years and the Netherlands
military over the past 15 years now support that the Food and Drug
Administration, the American Red Cross, Health and Human
Service, and the Department of Defense should recommend the use of
universal donor frozen group O positive and O negative RBC, frozen
group O leukoreduced platelets and frozen AB plasma. All the blood
products frozen and stored at -80ºC provide safe and therapeutic
effective blood products to treat patients. The frozen blood products
will eliminate or reduce the severe adverse events of mortality and
morbidity associated with the current FDA approved red blood cell
products, platelet products and plasma products. The universal donor
group O positive and O negative frozen RBC, group O leukoreduced
single donor frozen platelets, and AB frozen plasma obtained from
male donors will provide blood products that provide acceptable in
vivo survival and function to treat patients and reduce or eliminate
the severe adverse events associated with the current FDA approved
blood products.

and risk of death” published by Wang D and associates published
in Transfusion [17] an editorial was written by Warkentin TE and
Eikelboom JW titled “Old blood bad? Either the biggest issue in
transfusion medicine or a nonevent” [18]. These authors stated “the
demonstration of an association (if indeed there is one) between the
age of transfused blood and outcome would be useless if one could
not do anything about it”. This editorial failed to acknowledge that
freeze preservation of red blood cells, platelets and plasma has been
reported to provide safe and therapeutically effective blood products
from 2006 to 2012 to successfully treat 1,011 civilian and military
casualties in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan by the Netherlands
military using -80ºC mechanical freezers to freeze and store universal
donor group O Rh positive and group O Rh negative red blood cells,
single donor leukoreduced group O platelets, and group AB plasma
without the need for fresh whole blood and apheresed platelets.
It is imperative that civilian and military blood banking
communities change their methods of collection and preservation of
blood products if they are really interested in providing patients with
the safest and most therapeutically effective blood products and in
avoiding risks associated with transfusion.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health and Human
Services (HHS), the American Red Cross (ARC) and the blood
banking community have focused on further testing of blood products
to reduce the rate of disease transmission as well as disinfection of
red blood cells, platelets, and plasma. More importantly, they should
be looking at the quality of the blood products being transfused.
We know that the length of storage of blood products affects their
survival and function and that transfusion of nonviable compatible
RBC, antibodies to granulocytes and WBC HLA antigens, and
biologically active substances affect the patient’s clinical outcome.
One of the easiest ways to prevent the severe adverse effects that have
been observed is to ensure that the transfused blood products survive
and function at an optimum level and that the levels of antibodies
to granulocytes and WBC HLA antigens and biologically active
substances are reduced. The best way to ensure this is to store liquid
preserved human red blood cells at 4ºC in additive solutions for no
more than 2 weeks and leukoreduced platelets at room temperature
for no more than 2 days. These liquid preserved blood products can
be used in conjunction with frozen RBC, frozen platelets and frozen
plasma all stored in -80ºC mechanical freezer.
The reluctance of the blood banking community to consider any
changes that could improve the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of
blood products brings to mind two very relevant quotations: one by
Maurice Maeterlinck is that “At every crossway on the road that leads
to the future, every progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men
appointed to guard the past”. The other by Winston Churchill is that
“Occasionally man will stumble on the truth but will manage to pick
himself up and continue on as if nothing had happened”. It is time
now to investigate the current blood banking procedures and to seek
ways to improve them.
