How much plasma can be collected from a donor by Trima depending on his weight? Are there any guidelines?

Searched the fda site. Cant find it. can some plz post here.

The 2007 FDA Guidance for Platelet Apheresis collection defines limits for concurrent plasma collection on pg. 7 point number 4.

Trima plasma storage bags have an upper limit of 600 ml.

Annual cummulative plasma loss is limited to:

12.0 liters/year if the donor weighs less than or equal to 175 lbs.

14.4 liters/year if the donor weighs greater than 175 lbs.

I would call my CaridianBCT Rep (or TerumoBCT rep - since they merged) for details on how Trima calculates the volumes it collects. They can help you establish the configurations for plasma collect based on your collection goals, regulatory requirements, and what Trima is labeled for collecting.
