Guideline values for the heating duration when thawing FFP

When a program is in progress, the Barkey plasmatherm main screen displays the tem-
perature of the heat transfer fluid. This displayed temperature is not the same as the tem-
perature in the blood products.
The heating duration (i.e. the length of time which the Barkey plasmatherm needs to thaw
one or four FFP´s simultaneously, for example) will depend on a number of additional
factors (such as the initial temperature of the FFP´s, the temperature of the heat transfer
fluid, the fill volume of the FFP´s, the number of FFP´s, choice of program etc.).
The guideline values listed in Table 2 (guideline heating duration in minutes to reach at
least 5°C in each FFP) and Table 3 (guideline heating duration in minutes to reach 33°C)
apply under the conditions indicated in Table 1.
NOTE
Different conditions (such as the starting temperature of the FFP´s, the temperature
of the heat transfer fluid, the fill volume of the FFP´s, the number of FFP´s, choice
of program etc.) may result in different heating durations.
