4.5 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The plasma frozen bag is placed inside a ZipSleeve
TM
, a
smart
overwrap, bag and inserted into the Thawing Chamber
Module (
TCM
).
During the thawing process, the plasma bag is thawed by the C
hamber’s
heating cushions. The heating cushions
temperature is controlled by the system to maintain a heating temperature to ensure that the product bag
temperature does not exceed 37 °C (98.6 °F).
The plasma frozen bag temperature is monitored by the ZipSleeve
TM
temperature sensor (RFID) and will signal the
system to stop heating once the sensor temperature reading reaches th
e “Target Temperature”
of 31 °C (87.8 °F)
for the THAW option or no more than 15 °C (59.0 °F) for the MELT option, while the ZipThaw
TM
system controls the
agitation mechanism to ensure homogeneous mixing and heat distribution.
4.6 DEFAULT TEMPERATURE SETTING
The final,
“Target Temperature
s
”
for both the THAW and MELT options, are fixed as a factory setting. The
ZipSleeve
TM
sensor monitors the temperature of the frozen plasma bag and will signal the system to stop heating
once the Target Temperature is reached.
Note:
The user cannot modify the
“Target Temperature”
but can select between the two start options, THAW and
Melt to ice-free.
