Methods For Making Spray Dried Plasma - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945132 titled 'Methods For Making Spray Dried Plasma
Simplified Explanation
The present invention involves a spray drying plasma methodology that includes pretreating liquid plasma, drying it using a spray drying apparatus, finishing the disposable device, and transforming it into a dried plasma unit.
- Pretreating liquid plasma
- Drying liquid plasma using a spray drying apparatus
- Finishing the disposable device
- Transforming the disposable into a dried plasma unit
- Storing the dried plasma unit
- Reconstituting the dried plasma unit with reconstitution solution
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in medical settings for the efficient preparation of dried plasma units for transfusion purposes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive methods of preparing plasma units for transfusion.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include faster and more efficient preparation of plasma units, which can lead to improved patient care and outcomes.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology has potential commercial applications in the healthcare industry, particularly in hospitals, blood banks, and other medical facilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional methods of preparing plasma units, which may involve freeze-drying or other techniques that are not as efficient as the spray drying plasma methodology described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to other methods of preparing plasma units for transfusion?
This article does not provide a direct comparison with other methods of preparing plasma units, such as freeze-drying or heat treatment. Further research or data may be needed to make a comprehensive comparison.
What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in real-world medical settings?
The article does not address any potential limitations or challenges that may arise in implementing this technology in medical settings. Additional information or studies may be required to assess the practicality and feasibility of adopting this methodology.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to spray drying plasma methodology that includes pretreating a donated liquid plasma unit, drying the liquid plasma using a spray drying apparatus with the spray drying disposable device that results in a disposable having the dried plasma, finishing the disposable using the finishing apparatus that is designed to seal and separate the disposable, and transform the disposable into a dried plasma unit. The methods of the present invention include storing the dried plasma unit and, when ready for use, reconstituting the dried plasma unit with reconstitution solution to obtain a plasma unit ready for transfusion into a recipient.
