This study aimed to analyze the frequency of disposal of bags produced in a hemotherapy center in a region of northeastern Brazil. This is a retrospective analysis of candidates for blood donation, in the period from September 2107 to August 2018. Data were extracted from the software of the information technology sector of the Blood Center and organized and classified in the Excel 365 E program by the software IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, 22.0. In the period from September 2017 to August 2018, 28,800 of these were carried out, 5,8289 (20.2%), of which 21.1% (1,229) were related to the disposal of red blood cell concentrates, 41.5% (2419), platelet concentrate, 36.2% (2,111) plasma concentrate and whole blood 1.2% (69). The reasons for the purges were due to variables such as complications in fractionation, problems in distribution, expiration of the shelf life, inadequate packaging, reagent serology, indirect coombs and problems in the stock. The results of this study propose an action plan, involving the reassessment of operational protocols, with periodic assessments of disposal demands, aiming to readjust the supply and reduce or even extinguish the disposal of blood component bags, which would lead to a reduction in costs financial and social losses.
