A blood preservation fluid used during the collection and storage of blood and blood components in a healthcare and/or a blood bank facility (typically in a laboratory associated with the collection of blood or during apheresis procedures that result in the collection of blood), to help maintain protein and blood cell viability during the freezing of blood. It is typically glycerol-based and is supplied in a container (e.g., a polypropylene bag); it is not for direct intravenous infusion. This is a single-use device.
