Thanks for replying, This is driving me a little crazy only for the fact that I know that plt vol and plt count should be taken in account when deciding if they should be put in one bag or left in two until issue. Recently our compliance person told us it would be fine to put the platelets into one bag because it is a closed system, so we don't have outdate them in 24 hrs. I know there is other factors influencing this than just putting them in one bag. I am just trying to get my facts straight befor I say anything. Thanks for the manufacturer suggestions I'm going to take a peek at them ASAP!
