[LabUpdates] [EXTERNAL] COVID Convalescent Plasma administration instructions

[Matthew B. Elkins]

Good afternoon,

COVID convalescent plasma is one therapeutic tool for patients with COVID infections.  In order to follow the FDA requirements for this component, a new consent has been finalized and is available through MCN as other consents are.  The link for this consent as well as the directions for use and a physician Fact Sheet from the FDA on COVID Convalescent Plasma have been included in the adult and pediatric COVID admission order sets as of 1/7/2021.

Please see the attached guidance for more details.

Please contact the on-call blood bank physician or infectious disease service with any questions.

Thank you,
Matt
