Temperature/expiration
What is the storage temperature for RBC?
1-6 degrees Celsius
What is the expiration for leuko reduced red blood cells
21-45 days, depending on additive
What is the transport and storage temperatures for FFP/FP24?
Transport and storage temperatures are between negative 18 degrees to negative 65 degrees Celsius
What is the storage and transport temperature for apheresis, pooled, and concentrated platelets?
20-24 degrees Celsius
What are the usages for RBC transfusions
What is the transport temperature for RBC
1-10 degrees Celsius
What is the temperature and storage requirement for irradiated RBC?
1-10 degrees Celsius transport, and 1-6 degrees celcius
What is the expiration date for FFP/FP24
12 months after collection for temperature of negative 18 degrees Celsius
7 years for temperature of negative 65 degrees celcius
What is the expiration date for apheresis and concentrated platelets
5 days
24 hours without continuous agitation
What are the usages for irradiated RBC?
What are the usages for leukoreduced rbc?
Irradiated RBC go through gamma ray exposure to eliminate and prevent proliferation of t-lymphocytes which is the direct cause of transfusion associated graft vs host disease
Leuko reduction is achieved through filtration, removed majority of WBC, help prevent allergic reactions, HLA alloimmunization, and febrile non hemolytic transfusion reactions.
What is the expiration date for RBC with AS-1 additive?
42 days
What is the expiration date for irradiated RBC
28 days after irradiation date or the original collection of the unit date, go by whichever is sooner
What is the transport and storage temperature for cryo?
negative 18 degrees celcius or colder
What is the expiration date for pooled platelets
if performed with an open system, 4 hours
If closed system, 5 days after oldest unit in pool
24 hours without being continuously agitating
What are the usage of cryo tranfusions
Helpful for obstetric or immunocompromised patients, provide help with VWD, contains fibrinogen so can be helpful for patients with hypofibrinogemia, and contain factors 8 and 13 and are helpful for coagulation deficits
What is the expiration date for RBC with CPDA-1 additive?
35 days
What is the temperature for transport and storage of frozen red blood cells?
Transport and storage is -65 degrees Celsius
What is the expiration date for Cryo?
12 months
What is the difference between pooled platelets, concentrated platelets, and apheresis platelets
Pooled platelets has increased donor exposure because it is made using samples of several donors to make one single unit, it is less expensive and more readily available, but has an increased chances for transfusion reactions.
Apheresis platelets are made from a single donor through an automated process of donation where other blood components are returned to the donor, it is more expensive and less available but it has a decreased chance of transfusion reactions.
Concentrated platelets are usually pooled*** plasma is removed which increases the density of the cells
What are the usage of FFP transfusion
Help for TTP, warfarin, coagulation deficits
What is the expiration date for RBC with CPD additive?
21 days
What is the expiration date for frozen RBC
10 years
What is the storage and transport temperature for pooled cryo and expiration date
Storage and transport negative 18 degrees Celsius, expiration date is 12 months after oldest unit in pool
What is the usage for platelets being transfused?
Transfused in situations where the bleeding is associated with platelets, thrombocytopenia, and dysfunctional platelets
What is the difference between an open and closed system
An open system allows exposure of contaminants and environmental agents, it has a reduced shelf life.
A closed system does not allow interruption of contaminants or environmental agents, the entire system is always fully intact, and it has an increased shelf life.
