Freeze Thaw Units for blood transfusion services
HOF FTU Plasma: Freeze-Thaw Units for blood transfusion services
Adjustable freezing speed and full control over the freezing process are among the top specifications for freezing systems from HOF.
The total fill quantity is frozen evenly and independent of the bag size.
Each product bag has the same freezing conditions and, at the end, the same shape. This makes it possible for bar codes to be machine-read on the flat surface, for example of a plasma bag. Reliable temperature and time documentation is a matter of course.
Adjustable freezing with full control and proprietary software
Absolutely reliable freezing and thawing
HOF‘s Freeze-Thaw Units guarantee quality-compliant storage of blood plasma because the product bags are frozen within 45 minutes to at least -30 °C at the bag’s core. At the same time, up to 120 bags with a capacity of 400 ml can be processed. The frozen blood plasma can also be safely thawed again.
Custom requirements – individual plant sizes
Because our customers have different product capacities, there are two model types available: On the one hand, systems for processing up to 60 of the 400 ml bags are manufactured and, on the other hand, systems for up to 120 of these bags.
For individual adaptation Plants are divided into two different types. The compact design accommodates all process-relevant components within the device. On the other hand, there is the possibility of split-construction to lower the sound pressure level directly on the device. Here, the refrigeration components outside the unit are mounted on a separate machine frame.
Advantage: uniform heights of bag systems
The integrated pneumatic adjusting plate system compresses the product bags for the freezing process, so that all processed product bags have the same height after freezing.
The product bags also have flat surfaces on both sides: Barcodes can be machine-read and storage is greatly simplified.
Transparent documentation
The HOF Freeze Viewer Professional software developed by HOF is available for the documentation of processrelevant data. This software, which is configured for blood transfusion services, collects data such as bar codes, process reports and temperature history and either prints them out in the form of a process report or electronically transfers them to a higher-level system.
More than just hardware and software
The device design for blood transfusion services is based on HOF’s state-of-the-art technology. Apart from production, we also offer, as part of the scope of supply, special packaging, transport and handling support, as well as annual service and maintenance units.
