I would like to know what others are doing when a product such as a red cell unit is returned to the Blood Bank. We currently use Safe-T- Vue 10 on products we send in an ice chest but not on products that are supposed to be infused. How do you check the temperature on the returned units, or do you have a time frame from when it left the Blood Bank until it is returned. How do you ensure the product is viable for reissue? We currently have a rule that if a fresh frozen plasma leaves the Blood Bank in an ice chest and returns more than 2 hours later we discard it. I think that is a waste of a good product so I would like to know what others are doing. If anyone has a resource for these issues I would also like to know what that is. Thanks for your help
