Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: the customer stated a deglycerized red cell unit had been used as a replacement fluid.According to (b)(6) md in the article "cellular cryopreservation in blood banking", aabb standards call for the removal of the cryoprotective agent to ensure minimal hemolysis.If the residual glycerol exceeds 1%, hemolysis may occur when it is brought in contact with plasma.Significant hemolysis may occur because of poor technique or abnormal hemoglobins.Root cause: a definitive root cause for the reported amber plasma is not determined.Possible causes include but are not limited to: plasma color seen is actually a spillover during procedure and not hemolysis, plasma color seen is hemolysis related to hemolyzed rbc replacement solution used from diglycerol process, plasma color seen is hemolysis related to misload of the set, or plasma color seen is related to patient physiology/disease state.Citation: (b)(4).
