vocs00 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hi,Does anyone have an idea on how I can validate the Charter Medical Neonatal Syringe set with 150 micron filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 What do you want to validate it for? Storage time? Temperature retention? Ease of transfusion? I'm not even sure why you would consider validating it. Did you validate the transfusion sets used for adult transfusions?:disbelief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adiescast Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think what you are looking for is validation of the process you will employ with the syringes? As John pointed out, validating the syringe itself (unless you are comparing it to another syringe for ease of use or problems with leakage, etc. to decide which to purchase) is not productive. If you are looking at a process change from your current method of dispensing blood aliquots, then there may be things that need to be validated.

Kathy Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I am considering changing manufacturers of this product due to pricing. What do I need to do from a validation/documentation standpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblanchard Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We have been looking at this filter/syringe as well. Our question is about the 150micron filter. The tech manual says blood should be filtered with a 170-260 micron filter. Would this 150 micron filter be acceptable for neonates and if so what would you have to do to prove it is ok? We have tried to contact the manufacturer about the filter but no one seems to know much about it. It was our belief that the filter/syringe system was designed specifically for neonate transfusions.

David Saikin Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 you don't need to validate that product - JOhn is right on . . . you can use a smaller filter with impunity, it might take a bit longer to infuse. You could not use a larger filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crldehart Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We have been using this filter/syringe set for some time. It makes preparing the aliquot so easy we keep thinking we have forgotten a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
