Blood product

A blood product is any therapeutic substance prepared from human blood.[1] This includes whole blood; blood components; and plasma derivatives. Blood components include: red blood cell concentrates or suspensions; platelets produced from whole blood or via apheresis; Granulocyte, plasma; and cryoprecipitate. Some products for topical use, such as serum eye drops, have also been recently classified as blood components.[2] Plasma derivatives are plasma proteins prepared under pharmaceutical manufacturing conditions, including: albumin; coagulation factor concentrates; and immunoglobulins.
