Like every transfusion service we are tasked with cutting costs. Can anyone tell me whether a transfusion service can sell thawed plasma that has expired as salvage plasma? We are looking at a way to minimize our losses. I know I have done this in the past but we were the collecting facility as well as the end user. Also I would appreciate any information concerning labelling or companies you might be familiar with using. Is there a minimum amount of plasma needed to enter into some type of contract with a salvage purchaser?

haven't sold plasma in a while . . . it has a specific label/FDA will want to see records . . . usually you have a contract with someone.

So far we haven't sold plasma..but some people use as fertilizer in their orchids..In some hospital they have huge needs plasma especially hospital that conducting liver transplant and Therepeutic plasma pheresis..
