Posted June 12, 20187 yr comment_73602 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...........
