1.1 This guide defines terminology and identifies key fundamental properties of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRP-derived platelet gels intended to be used for tissue engineered medical products (TEMPS) or for cell therapy applications. This guide provides a common nomenclature and basis for describing notable properties and processing parameters for PRP and platelet gels that may have utility for manufacturers, researchers, and clinicians. Further discussion is also provided on certain aspects of PRP processing techniques, characterization, and quality assurance and how those considerations may impact key properties. The PRP characteristics outlined in this guide were selected based n a review of contemporary scientific and clinical literature but do not necessarily represent a comprehensive inventory; other significant unidentified properties may exist or be revealed by future scientific evaluation. This guide provides general recommendations for how to identify and cite relevant characteristics of PRP, based on broad utility; however, users of this standard should consult referenced documents for further information on the relative import or significance of any particular PRP characteristic in a particular context.
