ISBT Reconstituted Platelet Question

[Moncada]

For those of you that are currently ISBT:

1. What do you use to reconstitute platelets.....saline or plasmalyte, or ???

2. What ISBT product code do you use?

Thanks!

We use saline when we wash platelets. The final ISBT code depends on what you start with. Apheresis? Irradiated? Leukoreduced? You can search the database for what matches your product.

We use strictly apheresis platelets, all are irradiated, all are leukoreduced.

We use code E4493 = Washed Apheresis Platelets/Irradiated/RedLeu < 5log6/count not encoded.

We use saline and all units are single donors

here are a few but several other also.

E3078 IRRADIATED E3047

E3080 IRRADIATED E3049

[Moncada]

The E codes above are for plasma reduced platelets. We transfuse 2 separate products; plasma reduced platelets and reconstituted platelets, both from plateletpheresis products. Since we can't use the same E code for two different products (unless one is an aliquot of the original) we are looking for an E code to use with the reconstituted platelets. If you are using the above E codes for reconsituted products, what do you use for plasma reduced platelets that are not reconstituted with saline (is a product you offer)?

There's several choices.

E2984 = Apher Plt Open Irrad ResLeuk <5log6 Plasma reduced

E2999 = Apher Plt Open Irrad Plasma reduced

E3015 = Apher Plt Open Red Leuk <5log6 Plasma reduced

E3030 = Apher Plt Open Plasma reduced
