While some people in the bleeding disorders community use recombinant factor products, others continue to utilize products manufactured using plasma. Understanding how plasma is collected and utilized is something that is important for anyone with a bleeding disorder to know.

Join us on December 15 at 7pm for the presentation, Plasma Safety. Virginia A. Kraus, RN, MSN will review the plasma collection and manufacturing process, including all the steps necessary to help ensure the safety of donated plasma. She will discuss donor screening and collection, as well as the multiple duplicated testing procedures along with the viral inactivation and removal steps in the manufacturing process. Discussion will also include the ongoing surveillance for emerging pathogens and commitment to safety to ensure high quality, plasma derived coagulation factor.

Please register by Monday, December 14, 2020. If you have any questions, contact the HNC Office at events@hemophilia-nc.org, or by phone at 919-319-0014.
