How to freeze and store COVID-19 convalescent plasma
With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting lives across the world, clinical trials have been steadily on the rise. One of the forerunners in these trials is the convalescent plasma (CP) therapy, involving transfusion of plasma from the COVID-19 recovered patients. As this therapy involves the use of a temperature sensitive product human plasma, the ability to store it at the mandated temperature is critical to serve the therapeutic purpose.
This paper delves into the history of CP, some of its storage protocols, and highlights freezing and storage solutions that preserve the best quality of plasma.
COVID-19: Guidelines for storage & transport of clinical specimens
As an immediate action to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratories are ramping up testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To date, a number of test variants have emerged. Even though the most common remains throat swabs, some national bodies are also conducting antibody tests that require blood to be drawn and analyzed. Irrespective of the type of test, the accuracy of the results depends on the integrity of the samples taken from a suspected case. From their collection to the laboratory, the clinical specimens must be handled with the greatest care. In this white paper, B Medical summarizes the storage and transport conditions mandated by the WHO.
Smart technology to keep your freezers free of frost
Today, there exists plasma storage freezers that offer manual or auto defrost options. Automatic defrost freezers work by heating elements at regular intervals routinely. Even though this increases convenience, often times the temperature fluctuations during the auto defrost cycle and the energy consumption of the freezers raise concerns.
This paper assesses the smart auto defrost technology used by B Medical Systems on the temperature uniformity inside the cabinet for the long-term storage of FFP, as well as the operational efficiency of the freezers.
FDA Regulations on Electronic Records - FAQs and Applicability to Temperature Monitoring Systems
In this whitepaper, B Medical Systems explains the scope of usage and applicability of 21 CFR Part 11 in day-to-day operational scenarios and discusses how remote temperature monitoring systems, integrated to medical devices such as lab refrigerators or freezers, comply with the standards set by the FDA regulation. Amongst others, °B Connected – a remote monitoring solution developed by B Medical Systems that generates electronic records – meets the technical controls of 21 CFR Part 11 regulation, thereby providing an extra layer of assurance for FDA submissions.
