usually for us when we receive the cards we do validation on each lot number by testing with known positive cells for K Antigen and if it pass it will be ready to use. we will do suspension of red cells with diluent and add in the gel card, incubate and centrifuge then read the result.

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

we are using OCTAPLAS for liver transplant or plasam exchange procedures after thawing the expiry is 24 hours and it will be store at 2-6C in the fridge.
