A technique and apparatus for rapidly thawing a frozen blood plasma unit. The holder maintains a plasma unit pouch submerged in a manner which affords substantial thermal contact between the plasma unit and the fluid bath. The fluid is manipulated to provide a kneading effect on the exterior surface

A technique and apparatus for rapidly thawing a frozen blood plasma unit. The holder maintains a plasma unit pouch submerged in a manner which affords substantial thermal contact between the plasma unit and the fluid bath. The fluid is manipulated to provide a kneading effect on the exterior surface of the bag to enhance thawing efficiency.

[ I claim:] [1.] A system for thawing a frozen plasma unit pouch comprising;a fluid bath adapted to hold a quantity of fluid;mounting means for supporting said pouch in a substantially submerged position with respect to said quantity of fluid when containing said frozen plasma unit pouch;means for varying a flow of the fluid in said fluid bath to create a kneading effect on the exterior of the frozen plasma unit to thereby reduce the thawing time of said frozen plasma unit,wherein said means for varying the flow of the fluid comprises a wall positioned in said fluid adjacent said pouch and an oscillating means for generating a differential in water depth on opposite sides of said wall, said wall comprising at least one aperture through which said fluid passes as a result of said differential to create said kneading effect.
