This is a device study in some respects, in that specialized centrifuges are commonly used to make platelet rich plasma, and we are studying the use of standard laboratory equipment to do so. However, it is primarily interventional in that we will evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method.

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Venipuncture | Procedure | Blood draw for purposes of training in platelet rich plasma concentration. Trainees will be in pairs and each will draw blood from the other for use in the concentration process. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Platelet Concentration Ability After 8 Hours of Training. | Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations. | 8 Hours After Onset of Training |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Retention of Platelet Concentration Ability At One Month. | Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations performed 30 days or longer after the training day. |
