Posted July 18, 20187 yr comment_73981 Does anyone have a Hettich Rotixa 500RS? Trying to get setting for spinning down whole blood of 450ml-500ml to make FFP components. Any validation guides or suggestions would also be helpful. Natalie
August 9, 20186 yr comment_74253 Have you contacted your vendor? They might be able to provide a starting point.
August 9, 20186 yr Author comment_74255 Yes I have reached out to them. They sent a starting point on a different sized centrifuge which was not helpful. Asked them to let me know what other customers had this centrifuge and what they were doing and I have not heard back.....so we winged it and got it figured out
May 6, 20196 yr comment_76757 If I need to buy a new refrigerated centrifuge for spinning down units (packing whole blood, removing preservative solution for baby exchanges etc.) does anyone have any recommendations? I want the smallest size that will do the job since we aren't a blood center. The one vendor I looked at does not list blood products as one of the functions they sell accessories for.
May 7, 20196 yr Author comment_76767 We bought the Rotixa. We use it for spinning down WB to make FFP in our hospital blood bank. We aren't a blood center, but we do have our own donor center. Most of our units are "settled" before packing
May 8, 20196 yr comment_76778 I was thinking of a benchtop one but is there an advantage to this one? Did you buy it straight from Hettich or another supplier?
