Spray Dried Plasma

FrontlineODPTM (On Demand Plasma)

FrontlineODPTM (On Demand Plasma) is designed for rapid transfusion at the point of injury where conventional frozen or liquid blood products are unavailable or inconvenient to use.

Packaged in ultra-light, flexible plastic bags, FrontlineODPTM is shelf-stable, features a shelf life of up to 24 months and rehydrates in 2.5 minutes — making it ideal for rural and austere care settings and prehospital transfusion by Emergency Medical Services and the military everywhere. FrontlineODPTM will be produced by leading blood centres around the world.

A spray dried plasma solution will potentially allow for new methods of blood product distribution throughout the EMT community. The potential longevity of Spray Dried Plasma means that emergency vehicles may be able to carry this product for longer than whole blood or other alternatives without replenishing as often.

In addition, as spray dried plasma is being designed to be stored in ambient conditions, it has the potential to save more lives, especially where emergency vehicles do not have appropriate refrigerated facilities.

FrontlineODPTM unit is easily rehydrated in two and a half minutes with 200ml of sterile water (SWFI), making it practical in prehospital and hospital settings (i.e. rural) where fresh plasma is unavailable.

Why is it needed?

Severe bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death after traumatic injury. When minutes matter, early plasma administration has been shown to save lives.*

Despite this, 30–40% of deaths from bleeding are considered preventable. In the United States alone, more than 30,000 people die each year from bleeding that might have been stopped. Globally, that number rises to over 100,000 preventable deaths every year.*

The need for plasma in emergencies is not new. During World War II, over 10 million units of dried plasma were produced to support lifesaving care. Today, global production capacity is less than 50,000 units annually — far below what is needed to protect both civilian and military patients.

Production Models

The FrontlineODPTM (On Demand Plasma) Spray Dried Plasma Manufacturing System is being designed for easy integration in blood centre component laboratories.

Decentralised production by blood centres will aim to take advantage of blood component manufacturing expertise and product supply chains, from established volunteer blood donor bases to end user distribution including emergency logistics channels.

Decentralised production sets the stage for local spray dried plasma self-sufficiency and national emergency preparedness including civilian, government and military collaboration for strategic stockpiles and readiness for major mass casualty events.
