A: 1 bag of Octaplasma® contains 200 ml of S/D plasma. The volume of an FP bag varies with the mean ± 1SD volume being 289 ± 16 ML.32
The difference in volume between an Octaplasma® and FP bag however does not translate into any difference in efficacy for the approved indications.3,23 In a study, bleed control was found to be effective for Octaplasma® and FFP despite lower volume infused.8
The volume of plasma administered in clinical settings depends on the patients’ underlying disorder, with the volume needed being the same as that of FP for large volume exchanges and for other settings, may vary on a case-by-case basis.
