BLOOD BANK: Question 1


What is the storage temp of FFP?

ANSWER: -18 C


NOTES:

FFP volume of the unit is usually 200 – 250 ml and stored at -18° C or below within 8 hours of collection. It outdates in 12 months. One mL of FFP contains approximately 1 unit of factor activity.
Prior to administration FFP is thawed at 30 - 37° C in a thawing device. If thawed in a water bath, a protective wrap is used to prevent contamination of the ports on the unit. Thawed FFP is stored at 1-6° C and must be infused within 24 hours of thawing. After 24 hours, the component must be discarded.
