Quality of frozen transfusable plasma prepared from whole blood donations in Canada: An update
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transfusable plasma is obtained by processing whole blood donations, by apheresis, or as solvent/detergent plasma (SD plasma), a pooled pathogen-reduced plasma product. The quality of plasma is typically assessed by testing the activities of multiple coagulation-related plasma proteins, due to a lack of clinical trial data linking plasma composition to clinical endpoints. We sought to update previous quality surveys of Canadian …
