Mary Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I would be interested to hear opinions about the outdate change back to 5 days for plateletpheresis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcsmrz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Typical knee-jerk reaction, IMHO. I'm betting the numbers really show 7-day plats no worse than 5-day plats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I must be out of the loop. What has changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarotto Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This is the first I have heard of it. Our Red Cross was not participating in the study so we have not been receiving 7-day platelets. Here is a link to a letter from AABB to Gambro and Fenwal expressing concern over the abrupt cancellation of the study. http://www.aabb.org/Content/News_and_Media/Correspondence/correspondence013108.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
