Cryoprecipitate, Leucocyte Depleted

  • The component represents a source of concentrated FVIII:C, and von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, FXIII and fibronectin from a unit of fresh frozen plasma.
  • Contains less than 1 × 106 leucocytes per component
  • Donations where bleed time >15min are not suitable for production of plasma for clinical use
  • Produced by thawing a single donation of FFP at  4±2°C
  • Plasma should be from male donors to reduce TRALI risk.
  • Storage
    • Rapidly frozen to <-25°C within 2hrs of preparation.
    • Store for maximum of 36 months
  • Thawing:
    • Waterbath within vacuum-sealed overwrap plastic bag at 37° (between 33-37°C ok)
    • Equipment should be cleaned daily
    • Once thawed, use within 4 hours and do not re-freeze.
  • Component for QA assessment of FVIII should be from an equal mix of group O and non-O donations due to varying levels of FVIII between blood groups.

Cryoprecipitated, Pooled, Leukocyte-Depleted

  • As above, but pool five single cryoprecipitate components
