  1. I'm a little confused by the question... Do you mean the maximum plasma loss per collection? If so, I'll guess you use Trimas for your platelet collections. The FDA guidance states specific maximum volume amounts (500 or 600 mls) or as specified by the instrument liscense. The Trima license allows for plasma loss up to 15% of the TBV. You can find this in the Operators Manual. It is also one of the parameter setting options. If you use the Fenwal Amicus, the maximum plasma collection per procedure is 700mls (if >175 lbs) or 600 mls if less. This is also in the Operator's Manual. The Guidance does address extracorporeal RBC volume during a procedure, but this is has to do with eligibility following incomplete procedures.
  2. Mozkowiz, I was in the Peace Corps in Guatemala back in the 1980s. Lots of memories- some fond, some otherwise. (smile) I lived in Solola, Solola. From what I understand, that area has changed a great deal since then. Tourism has arrived!
