Cryoprecipitated Antihemophilic Factor
» Cryoprecipitated Antihemophilic Factor conforms to the regulations of the FDA concerning biologics (640.50 to 640.57) (see Biologics 
1041
). It is a sterile, frozen concentrate of human antihemophilic factor prepared from the Factor VIII-rich cryoprotein fraction of human venous plasma obtained from suitable whole-blood donors from a single unit of plasma derived from whole blood or by plasmapheresis, collected and processed in a closed system. It contains no preservative. It meets the requirements of the test for potency by comparison with the U.S. Standard Antihemophilic Factor (Factor VIII) or with a working reference that has been calibrated with it, in having an average potency of not less than 80 Antihemophilic Factor Units per container, made at intervals of not more than 1 month during the dating period.
