teskridge Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 We use a 180 micron filter blood set for red blood cell administration. Can platelets, plasma, and cryo be transfused using this size filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GilTphoto Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We use a Y type filter for RBC's as Saline is necessary for the RBC's to flow easier.The Y filter is not necessary for PLT's FFP, or Cryo and since these products can be lower volume, we use a single line filter with a shorter line.

Ellen Zeigler Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I haven't looked at them in a long time, but preiously the only difference between a red cell (standard set ~ 170 u) and a component set was the length of the tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcheng Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 All components must be administered thru filter (standard 170- to 260-micron) designed to remove blood clots and particles potentially harmful to the patients.CK Cheng, MSc, SBB(ASCP), CQA(ASQ)Mar 9, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
