Townsend Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 We use a sterile connection device to attach either a transfer bag or a syringe (the syringe has an in-line filter attached). We label the bag/syringe with the 4x4 ISBT label from the Hematrax label printer containing the new division number. After mixing the contents of the platelet component, you open the weld and transfer the needed volume into the bag/syringe. We add an extra 5ml to a syringe or about 15-20ml extra for a bag aliquot (since the bag still has to be filtered prior to transfusion). All platelet aliquots are given a 4 hour expiration time from preparation. Stephanie aolario and TreeMoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aolario Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you ! This is very helpful ! We will be splitting our own platelets for our pediatric patients in a month and we are still working on writing our protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
