jshafer 1 Posted December 24, 2019 When a syringe aliquot is created it goes through a filter. When the product is being given on the floor does it have to go through an additional filter in the blood administration tubing or can it go though tubing without a filter?

John C. Staley 1,075 Posted December 25, 2019 We always sent our out with a filter set because that's what we had. As far as being required, I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyHerpesItch 0 Posted December 26, 2019 We filter our syringe blood. We labor the syringe as such. I'm pretty confident the RNs don't refilter again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAGNUM 75 Posted December 26, 2019 We filter the blood for them when making the aliquot, further filtration is not necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonya Martinez 16 Posted December 26, 2019 If you filter the syringe the nurse does not need to filter again at transfusion. Our nurses uses a syringe pump for all transfusion 60cc or less which doesn't allow for a filter set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
