Monique 14 Posted May 11, 2016 When building psoralen-treated platelets into your computer product code database, what special feature will you be creating to capture the fact that these "illuminated" platelets are equivalent to "irradiated" platelets? 1 bldbnkr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bldbnkr 38 Posted April 24 Hi Blood Bankers, We are trying to prepare for Psoralen treated platelets - I thought that I had built them in my LIS but now I have received new codes from the Blood Supplier - I initially built ISBT codes E7001, E7002....etc...to E7008 (4 plain and 4 irradiated). I now received new codes from the Blood Supplier and they are codes E8440 through E8344 and more. My question - does anyone know if the E7001 was ever actually used? I have yet to receive any of these products but I am trying to get ready for the FDA guidelines and mandate that will be coming eventually. Thank you.

Townsend 82 Posted April 25 You should be able to check with your blood supplier to see what codes they will be using. We use the Red Cross and have only built E8340, E8341, E8342, E8343, and E8344 thus far. 1 bldbnkr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Butler 12 Posted April 25 The ARC uses E7001, E7002, E7003... are PAS platelets only, not psoralen treated. We have yet to build the psoralen treated product codes into our system. 1 bldbnkr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgoertzen 37 Posted April 25 We designed and ordered special labels that we attach to our psoralen platelets. The ISBT codes for our products are E8331, E8332, E8333, E8334, E8335. Psoralen-Treated Platelets Place this label on all Psoralen-treated (Pathogen Reduced) INTERCEPT Platelets to remind the care provider that they are equivalent to IRRADIATED and to store at room temp. 1 bldbnkr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
