Platelets

All known need for platelets is met within 24 hours due to strong national availability.

Red Blood Cells

There is steady use of single cryoprecipitate amid decreasing national quantities. Most types of fresh-frozen plasma are plentiful, readily addressing all known need. Demand for type AB is slowing, which allows donors and blood centers time to rebuild inventories before the next uptick in usage.

Frozen Products 

There is steady use of single cryoprecipitate amid decreasing national quantities. Most types of fresh frozen plasma are plentiful, readily addressing all known need. Demand for type AB is slowing also, which allows donors and blood centers time to rebuild inventories before the next spike in usage.
