  • Similar pharmokinetic properties to frozen plasma
​Administration
  • ​Contains human protein; informed patient consent required for this product
  • Dosing and monitoring should be similar to that of frozen plasma, in adherence with existing SHR policies
  • S/D plasma may be automatically substituted for frozen plasma or cryosupernatant plasma in the setting of plasma exchange by Transfusion Medicine if the requested volume is otherwise unavailable, as an inventory management strategy
