our policy in the MTP Protocol regarding FFP , if it was issued and returned after 30 minutes it will be discarded but if less than 30 minutes we will use it for transfusion with 24 hours. If the FFP was thawed but was not released or it was not taken, it will be used for other patient and extend the expiry to 5 days. Thanks
