abstract：:Sterility of blood products is a cardinal contributor to patient safety. Bacteriologic controls of stable products comply with strict regulations, but legislation imposes only limited constraints in the case of perishable products, such as packed red cells (RBCs) or fresh-frozen plasma (FFP). Therefore, it is essentia...
