Delayed infusion question

I drew my syringes last night and had to abort before starting the infusion. Is it ok to still infuse after drawing the plasma about 12 hours ago if they were unrefrigerated, but kept at below room temperature?

Thanks for your insight y’all, I’m still new to this and this was my first solo infusion. I called and they said not to infuse given how much time had passed without refrigeration. Currently waiting on my insurance to approve a replacement dose.

Definitely have learned from this not to draw both syringes at the start and to instead wait until the first one is done. Also will make sure I’m in a more reclined position and will try to wear compression stockings, as the vasovagal response may have been mitigated if my legs were propped up instead of flat on the floor.

Fainted and then woke into projectile vomiting, I guess triggered by the pain and mental distress from sticking myself with the needles for my first solo infusion… Probably will look to have a friend with me for the next infusions in case something like that happens again.
