Blood products: Different types of donated blood products have various storage requirements and shelf lives. A reputable blood center or hospital should have the appropriate precautions in place to make sure any product given to a patient is safe.

OK: If stored in proper blood bank conditions, it will not likely have any significant cell damage. As banked blood units age toward their generally accepted usable life of 120 days, more cells break down, which can cause the recipient problems.
