D Test for the in vivo survival of red cells (See Item II, 4 of Annex above): (a) Limit: Of the erythrocytes on whole human blood with ACD anticoagulant, which has been stored for 21 days at 4-6° C, at least 70% shall have a post-transfusion survival time of 24 hours. This can be determined according to one of the methods proposed in (b) below. (b) Suggested methods: 1. Method of ISO/TC/76/WGD/3, App. E. 2. Ashby Technique- Ashby, W.
