Hi Everyone. I have two questions today:

1. If you have a plasma thawer on site, what do you use as a back up? I have a site with a plasma thawer but nothing for back up - no second plasma thawer and no waterbath.....is AABB OK with  a warm basin? Thoughts?

2. If you thaw apheresis plasma, how long does it take? Our policy states it should thaw within 30' but I am told this isn't long enough.....?

Thanks...........

We have a back-up procedure to use warm tap water - monitored by a thermometer.  And we have found that the larger units of plasma do indeed take 35 minutes or longer to thaw.
