Does anyone define a minimum and/or maximum volume (mL) for red cells with Optisol or Adsol?

The optimum red cell volume should be written on the bag. The ratio should be 1 part additive solution to 7 parts rbc's.

Call if you would like to ask discuss.

I believe the minimum/maximum collection of either Optisol/Adsol is +/- 10% of the volume of the bag you chose to collect in, 450 or 500mL. So if you are collecting in a 450mL bag then your min/max volume would be 405 or 495mL and the same goes for the 500mL bag, 450 or 550mL. Are you using a blood collection mixer that has a preset volume to assist you in your collection? It makes it alot easier!!
