Hello Steve,
You’re very welcome! Also, apologies for the long response below:
It looks like you will need to submit a request for a new code to be added to the database to reflect the description you need for your products. If you can verify that the following description describes your final product, you can go ahead and submit a request for this to be added to our ISBT 128 Product Description Code Database via the ISBT 128 Product Lookup Web Application (please note that you need to be logged into the ICCBBA website to use the program).
RED BLOOD CELLS|CPD>SAGM/450mL/refg|RBC irradiated|ResLeu:NS|Supernat rem/Plasma added You can also use a code that does not indicate irradiated. In the US, the FDA does not allow coding and labeling a partially irradiated product (e.g., only RBCs were irradiated) as a fully irradiated product. A product description code with the “RBC irradiated” attribute or a non-irradiated code can be used. If you wish, you can request the following description – currently there is no non-irradiated code in our database that reflects the description you provided.
RED BLOOD CELLS|CPD>SAGM/450mL/refg|ResLeu:NS|Supernat rem/Plasma added In the meantime, your facility may assign a local code for the description you need until the description is added to our database. The reconstituted red cell guidance (also linked here) briefly mentions using local codes. For more details regarding local codes: section 2.4.3 of the ISBT 128 Standard Technical Specification (ST-001) document and section 3.7 of the Implementation Guide: Use of Product Code [Data Structure 003] - Blood (IG-021) document discusses and provides guidance for using locally assigned codes.
If the codes provided above do not fit your needs, please let me know and we can adjust the description accordingly prior to your request submission.
Kind Regards,
Kaytee
 

Following the ICCBBA document it would appear this is the correct label;

Thanks for that but after reading it and googling the descriptions for a better understanding of the product, this has muddied the water further. I found the below document which has various different descriptions but not sure which would be most appropriate between supernatant removed plasma added and plasma reduced plasma added? 
IF The product is made by first removing additive from the Red Blood Cells and then adding blood group-compatible plasma Product is encoded as Red Blood Cells with the Attribute “Supernatant removed/Plasma added”
IF The product is made by removing some of the plasma from Red Blood Cells and then adding blood group-compatible plasma Product is encoded as Red Blood Cells with the Attribute “Plasma reduced/Plasma added
Would the latter be referring to whole blood and the former to PRBC?

As in PRBC its mainly additive but still some residual plasma so before are relevant. 
Thanks

Hello Everyone, this is my first post on Pathlabtalk but I have been loitering for a while reading past posts and topics. I've been working in the filed of Haematology and Blood transfusion for the past 17 years, the last 10 of which have been in Blood Bank management. I'm originally from the UK but for the last year have been working out in UAE where the systems are closely aligned with the US, following AABB and CAP standards. 
Previously I dont have any experience of blood pack modifications, as in the UK we are quite spoilt with an exceptional national transfusion service that provides hospital blood banks with pretty much everything they need ready prepared and ready to use. On top of this, although we follow ISBT standards for unit number bar code format, the UK has its own format for product codes. Out here in the UAE we are using ISBT standards for product codes.
What I want to know is when a unit is prepared for neonatal exchange transfusion by diluting PRBC's with AB plasma, what product code is assigned to the newly prepared unit under ISBT product code standards? 
Thanks and sorry for the long winded post.
 
Steve
