How It Works

The shrink-band is a clear plastic wrap — imprinted with our name, Talecris — that covers the neck and cap of the vial.

The shrink-band comes with a pull-tab, which when opened, will tear along two perforations for easy removal.

If tampering has occurred, the shrink-band will be broken or loosened, and the disruption will be obvious to the naked eye.

All of the products below are made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents, such as viruses, that can cause disease. The risk that such products will transmit an infectious agent has been reduced by screening plasma donors for prior exposure to certain viruses, by testing for the presence of certain current virus infections, and by inactivating and/or removing certain viruses. Despite these measures, such products can still potentially transmit disease. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products. The physician should discuss the risks and benefits of these products with the patient, before prescribing or administering to the patient.
