Calculating Product Bag Tare Weights

For ELP, LRS, LRST, and WBC Procedures
To determine the tare weights of the product bags and applicable
attachments, perform the following:
1
Seal an empty platelet or WBC collection bag according to your
standard operating procedures.
2
Weigh the bag to establish the tare weight for this bag
configuration. Ensure you include all labels and tags normally in
place when you weigh product bags.

Subtract this tare weight from the weight of your product bag to
determine the weight of your product.
