Michele Herman Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Our facility is struggling with how to deal with anticoagulant volumes when preparing neonatal aliquots from apheresis products. Are any facilities performing manual calculations for this? Does your LIS software perform the calculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathervaught Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I would recommend a manual calculation, which should be fairly easy to do. Aliquot Anticoagulant = (Aliquot volume/Original product volume) x Original Anticoagulant Volume So if making a 20 mL aliquot from an original product containint 200 mL and 15 mL anticoagulant: Aliquot Anticoagulant = (20/200) x 15 = 1.5 mL -Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
