Velico Medical launches Blood Center Education Program with South Texas Blood & Tissue
"This collaboration is the first of its kind in the nation and reflects the shared vision of Velico and STB&T of advancing life-saving blood products through the development process," says
Velico's BCEP is designed to generate deep customer feedback on the commissioning and operational aspects of the FrontlineODP™ system for spray drying plasma.
FrontlineODP is expected to be an easy to produce, easy to use, point-of-care plasma product for transfusion in settings where current plasma products (most often frozen) are unavailable or inconvenient to use because of challenging cold chain logistics and short dating. Velico's proprietary spray drying process results in a powdered plasma product that can be stored in a refrigerator or at ambient temperature and then reconstituted on-scene in minutes. With FrontlineODP, plasma could become more readily available to first responders such as ground or air ambulances, in rural hospitals where plasma is typically not stocked,for the military, and during mass casualty events.
"South Texas Blood & Tissue is pleased to collaborate with Velico as a BCEP partner. We take great pride in our history of firsts, leading change and innovation in blood transfusion products and services," says Adrienne Mendoza, STB&T Chief Operating Officer.
Velico's development program has been funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, under contract number 75A50121C00059.
