VOLUME OF BLOOD
Volume of blood collected should be proportionate to the volume of
anti-coagulant, with ±10% variation and should not exceed 10 ml/kg
body weight limited to a volume of 500 ml. Units of blood where
volume collected is out of the permitted limits should not be used for
transfusion. No attempt should be made to collect blood from such
donor during the same session.
C-6.0 SAMPLES FOR LABORATORY TESTS
The blood samples in the pilot tubes (clotted and anticoagulated)
should be collected at the time of collection of blood by the same
person who collects blood. They should be marked before collection
to be identified with the unit of blood. The integral donor tubing of
plastic bag should be filled with anticoagulated blood and sealed in
such a manner that it will be available with segment numbers for
traceability for subsequent compatibility tests.
