“…The coagulation factor activities and clotting times for pairs of prelyophilization FFP and postlyophilization Teleflex's FDP derived from apheresis citric acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) or whole blood citrate-phosphate-dextrose (CPD) collection were found to be generally similar with preservation of coagulation factor activities and clotting times in the postlyophilized product. Cold-stored CPD FDP and ACD FDP had a slight prolongation of mean clotting times (prothombin time -PT-, international normalized ratio -INR-, activated partial thromboplastin time -aPTT-, and thrombin time -TT-) and minimal or modest reductions in the mean content of fibrinogen, factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, Protein C, Protein S, plasmin inhibitor, plasminogen, antithrombin III, von Willebrand Factor (vWF) activity, and vWF antigen, compared to the FFP control [51 ▪▪ ], but all of them were well within the margin of 20% defined for bioequivalence by the US FDA [52], and with differences similar to those ones reported for the licensed PF24 and PF24RT24 plasma products [53]. For the Teleflex's FDP, the nonactivated partial thromboplastin time was always higher than 60 s (> 60 s) and the level of FVIIa was always lower than 105 mU/mL for CPD FDP and ACD FDP, indicating that the FDP manufacturing process did not result in relevant clotting activation of either the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, further supporting the safety of this product.…”
