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.
