Keeping blood plasma in a frozen state and thawing as needed is a common practice in hospitals and similar blood banks. It is important that blood banks, hospitals and other scientific research laboratories and healthcare facilities are equipped to thaw fresh frozen plasma when needed. The plasma thawing device is used to thaw fresh frozen plasma under laboratory conditions. Thawing procedures that do not comply with the standards are life-Threatening for patients. Exceeding temperature limits and rapid dissolution can damage plasma proteins, resulting in wastage of indispensable product for clinical analysis and commercial use in healthcare, without compromising the quality of the material. In short, the plasma thawing is an important tool in ensuring quality in the preparation of fresh frozen plasma in hospitals and laboratories. Therefore, an optimized device is important in terms of patient safety, user comfort and process disruption. In this study, our main purpose is minimizing the unnecessary processing load compared to other devices in the market and developing a device that the user can control remotely without going to the device. © 2021 IEEE.
