sunshine 11 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I am confused on the expiration date of liquid plasma. Expiration date is 5 days from end of Whole Blood dating period. CPDA-1 Whole Blood expire 35 days from date of collection. Does that mean CPDA-1 Liquid plasma expire 35+5 days? Please help. Link to post Share on other sites
Joanne P. Scannell 219 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 'Liquid Plasma' is never frozen so there's no need to thaw it therefore the outdate is not changed. 'Thawed Plasma' is the 5 Day product which results from Thawing Frozen Plasma (in all it's various forms, FFP, FP24, etc.). Note: When Frozen Plasma is thawed, it is assigned a 24hr outdate. You can extend that outdate to 5 Days IF you label it 'Thawed Plasma'. e.g. Frozen FFP is thawed to Fresh Frozen Plasma (24h outdate). You can leave it that way or change it to 'Thawed Plasma' (no FFP designation) and assign a 5 Day outdate to it. Most hospitals, if they go that route, just label it 'Thawed Plasma' with a 5 Day outdate immediately after it's thawed. (One Step vs Two Steps) Note: I'm using USA FDA rules, I don't know what they do in other countries. David Saikin and Ensis01 2 Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 11 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 I am not trying to thaw liquid plasma. I am not asking about thawed plasma either. I just want to know/confirm if blood center manufacture CPDA-1 Liquid Plasma (not Irradiated) if it's original exp date would be 40 days? I had in my mind as exp date of Liquid plasma as 26 days. But really it seems like 5 days from end of Whole Blood dating period. Link to post Share on other sites
David Saikin 1,420 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I would expect the blood center to put an expiration date on that product. You should not have to alter that as it would be a licensed/registered product in compliance with regulations. Link to post Share on other sites
TreeMoss 71 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I think that the liquid plasma we get from our blood center has a 26-day expiration (21 + 5). CPD/CP2D blood has a 21-day expiration, so that made sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites
cthherbal 54 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I agree. We are getting liquid plasma from Red Cross that has a 26-day outdate as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Byfaith 22 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't liquid plasma (from Whole blood, never frozen) only indicated for an emergency use? We had been using it for other cases when short dated but stopped this practice after review of Circular of Information. I believe the reason is that it contains viable leukocytes.

sunshine 11 Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Yes, and may need irradiation. Link to post Share on other sites
