n: number of units; t0: units tested within 72 h after processing; t1: units tested after 4–7 days of storage; t2: units tested after 8–14 days of storage; t3: units tested after 15–21 days of storage; t4: units tested after 22–28 days of storage; t5: units tested after 29–35 days of storage; t6: units tested after 36–42 days of storage; ≤ 1%: units not exceeding 1% of hemolysis; > 1%: units exceeding 1% of hemolysis.
