Plasma Thawing Vertical

Reduce Unused Plasma

Rapid thawing with the Rapid Thaw reduces the amount of plasma that must be thawed in advance. The baskets agitate the units in 36.5C water for optimal heat transfer and the most rapid, yet safe, thawing. Reducing unused thawed plasma results in cost savings for you.

Flexible, Convenient, and Safe

Each Rapid Thaw basket in the LM-PT-04 and LM-PT-08 operates independently, giving you the flexibility of starting batches of plasma at different times. In addition, the baskets automatically lift plasma bags out of the water when a cycle is complete, offering the convenience of walk-away time savings. For added safety, the baskets also lift out upon high alarm activation.

Maximum Versatility

Both random and apheresis plasma bags may be thawed in any unit (whether flat or folded). With the use of the removable dividers in the LM-PT-08 model, oversized units (wider than 6" / 153mm) may be thawed. The Rapid Thaw is suitable for thawing cryoprecipitate and red blood cells as well as warming saline.

Space Saving

The compact size of Rapid Thaw Plasma Thawing Systems conserves space on your benchtop. The small footprint of the LM-PT-02 makes it an ideal back-up unit.

Overwrap Protection

The Rapid Thaw uses LuxMed overwrap bags, the most convenient method to protect plasma during thawing. Overwraps eliminate the need for snap-seal pockets to separate the plasma from an internal water supply. Pockets crack over time, causing the need for replacement and the possibility of internal system contamination.

LuxMed disposable overwraps provide long term security and the Rapid Thaws open tank design allows for easy cleaning, with no hidden areas.

Thawing Capabilities

Plasma can be loaded and unloaded into the Rapid Thaw without waiting for the water to be added and drained. Competitive snap-seal pocket systems need pumps to move water from a holding reservoir into the thawing chamber before and after each cycle, increasing thaw times and decreasing throughput.
