OctaplasLG
Ringer-Acetate
OctaplasLG® is an industrial donor plasma product pooled from 630 -1520 single donor units. It possesses unique features when compared to standard FFP, such as having a standardized concentration of natural pro- and anti-coagulation factors, a standardized volume as well as being pathogen-free.12 Most importantly, the manufacturing method of OctaplasLG® removes immune complexes and cells in several steps of microfiltration. The manufacturing process also inactivates viral, bacterial and prion pathogen by immune neutralization, solvent-detergent treatment and a prion specific ligand affinity chromatography step.
standard of care resuscitation fluid Ringer-acetate is a mixture of electrolytes in water to a slightly hypotonic solution.
