jphelps Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I’m looking at the Sahara dry plasma thawers. Does anyone know about how long it takes to thaw 2 units of FFP in these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejw Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 You will be limited by the size of your frozen plasma bag. It takes about 20 minutes to thaw a bag with 200 ml in it. If your bag is larger, it will take longer. If you are going to compare thaw times with a waterbath, the Sahara will lose. We have both a Helmer and Sahara. The Sahara is used to thaw for stock plasma (we keep 6 thawed A,B, and O) - for patients, the waterbath is quicker. Cleaning the Sahara is much easier than a waterbath and that was the big selling feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
