How do you label thawed pooled cryo?

Do you change product code label? do you apply new label?

Can you just hand write expiration date and time?

 

Hoping that PAT or someone else from ICCBBA will also answer!

    We have electronic transfusion documentation which requires machine readable labeling. We print new ISBT labels for the thawed product and re-label only product type/expiration quadrants.

Our LIS system creates a unique ISBT number for the pool, changes the product code to pooled open and the label prints out. We then label the pool with the printed ISBT label.

Yes, just like thawed plasma, you can hand write the expiration date and time.

When we print our new ISBT label with current product (thawed) and expiration time it also states that it should be stored at room temp.

OK the smaller facility may not have ISBT printer capability, in that case they can order preprinted labels for thawed pooled cryo and hand write expiration date and time>....

comment_65142

We used to use preprinted labels and hand write the ex date and time before ISBT.  Our labels for FFP were from Shamrock.

If all you are doing is thawing pre-pooled cryo and transfusing it, then you are not required to relabel the product and you only need to cross out the old expiration and hand write the new expiration date/time.  You can optionally choose to relabel the product as Thawed Pooled Cryo and bar code the new expiration date/time but this is not required.

If you are thawing individual cryo units and then pooling the thawed single units together, then you are required to relabel the product.
