Sec. 82-690. - Processing.
(a) Sterile system. All surfaces that come in contact with the plasma shall be both sterile and pyrogen-free. If the method of separation involves a vented system (i.e., where an airway must be inserted into a container for withdrawal of the plasma), the airway and vent shall be sterile and constructed so as to exclude microorganisms and maintain a sterile system. (b) Final containers. Final containers used for source plasma (human), whether integrally attached or separated from the original blood container, shall not be entered prior to issuance for any purpose except for filling with the plasma. Such containers shall be uncolored and hermetically sealed, and shall permit clear visibility of the contents. Final containers and their components shall not interact with the plasma contents under conditions of storage and use so as to alter the safety, quality, purity or potency of the plasma and shall provide adequate protection against external factors that may cause deterioration or contamination. Prior to filling, the final container shall be marked or identified by number or other symbol which will relate it directly to the donor. (c) Preservative. Source plasma (human) shall not contain a preservative.
