Velico announced that Our Blood Institute (OBI), the nation’s sixth-largest independent blood center, will participate in Velico’s Blood Center Education Program (BCEP). BCEP is a collaborative program which provides strategic blood system partners the opportunity to get hands on experience with the FrontlineODP™ (On Demand Plasma) system for spray drying plasma.
OBI will evaluate the potential integration of the system into blood component production operations and provide critical feedback on the commissioning and operational aspects of the system.
About FrontlineODP™
Preventable death from hemorrhage following trauma is a global concern which has been targeted by trauma surgeons, emergency medical providers, mass casualty planners, the military and national governments as a top priority. Velico is laser focused on developing the Frontline ODP™ technology in support of this call to action.
FrontlineODP™ is stored in a flexible plastic bag, it can be rehydrated with 200 ml of sterile water for injection (SWFI), becoming ready for transfusion in approximately 2½ minutes. Unlike conventional plasma products that require refrigeration, FrontlineODP™ can be stored at room temperature, extending its availability in challenging environments including hospital emergency rooms, rural medical care facilities, prehospital transfusion by emergency medical first responders and the military.
FrontlineODP™ is intended for use in the management of medical and traumatic hemorrhage where conventional plasma is unavailable or impractical for use.
Investigational device. Limited by Federal (or US) law to investigational use.
The FrontlineODP™ System is currently under investigation and has not received FDA approval for any indication.
