Uses
The Fenwal 4A7831 (Glycerolyte 57) is used for the following purposes:
Long-Term Storage of Red Blood Cells: It is the standard solution used to freeze red blood cells for long-term storage, often up to 10 years or more. This is crucial for building a stockpile of rare blood types or for military and disaster preparedness.
Transfusion Medicine: It is an essential component of the process for preparing frozen blood products for transfusion, ensuring the viability and function of the red blood cells after thawing.
Immunohematology: It is used in laboratory settings that require the preservation of red blood cells for future testing or research.
Rare Blood Programs: Blood banks use this solution to freeze and store units from donors with rare blood types, making them available when a specific, hard-to-find type is needed.
