title: [Power-consumption for storage of donor plasma].
abstract: Costs of electric power used for storage of freshly frozen plasma (FFP) were compared for refrigerators most widely used in Russian medical facilities. The minimal costs (2763.43 R) are those obtained for storage of 5000 FFP units in 12 plasma freezers, MDF-U536 (Sanyo, Japan). When 30,000 plasma units are stored the cost efficiency of power consumption is higher for the TELEDOOR freezer (Germany) versus MDF-U536. It can be assumed that, as the electric power cost increases, it will be more attractive to store FFP in liquid nitrogen vapor (MABAG, Germany). The above technology is registered in Russia; however, its application is still problematic due to economic reasons.
