Global TS - Servator B

Description

Following the Field Safety notice back in 2023 on Belzer UW® Cold Storage Solution the department has been forced to use an alternative solution due to lack of alternative suppliers in the market. The alternative solution, however, is not ideal and only partially meets the requirements. NHS Blood and Transplant has advised that limited stock of an additional alternative product, Servator B manufactured by S.A.L.F. and supplied by Global Transplant Solutions, has become available and should be used within cell processing laboratories as an alternative product to the Belzer UW Cold Storage Solution. Servator B has the same formulation as Belzer UW Cold Storage Solution and MHRA does not anticipate that changes to usage protocols are required. SERVATOR B is an identical formulation to the original University of Wisconsin Solution invented and developed by Dr. Folkert Belzer and Dr. James Southard.
