The storage conditions of frozen plasma and blood components can impact their viability, functionality, and lifespan. Even if they are collected and prepared as per the guidelines, the components transfused might not completely serve the intended purpose and can increase the risk associated if the storage conditions are not properly maintained.
Thus, it is vital that the cooling storage solutions – including plasma storage freezers – maintain a stable temperature inside the cabinet and do not expose the samples stored to any temperature excursions.
This paper highlights the temperature variations and uniformity of B Medical Systems’ plasma storage freezers in various operating conditions, as well as the extra layer of safety they offer, ensuring safe storage conditions for Fresh Frozen Plasma.
