SportsFan Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 For those of you collecting PAS platelets, how often are you collecting concurrent plasma? We are looking at getting the Trimas but currently use Amicus. On Terumo's website, it says:Plasma replaced by PAS can be collected as an additional plasma product for transfusion, while still classifying the donors for plateletpheresis for deferral purposesWhen we started collecting PAS platelets, Fenwal had no recommendation on what to collect. But we are revisiting this issue and I would like to see what others are doing. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymel Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 1.I believe you would have to get a variance to collect concurrent plasma. 21 CFR 640.65: Allow an infrequent plasmapheresis collection (every 28 days or less frequently) . Donors may donate without a physical examination or plasma or protein tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymel Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Are apheresis platelet donors who have tested positive for HLA -specific antibodies are now permitted to donate Apheresis Platelets in Platelet Additive Solution only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
