Which statement is not applicable to Cryoprecipitate?

Explanation:
Cryoprecipitate is the cold-insoluble portion of thawed frozen plasma that is concentrated for specific coagulation factors. It is rich in fibrinogen, factor XIII, and von Willebrand factor, and is primarily used to treat fibrinogen deficiency; it can also help with conditions involving these factors. It is stored frozen until use, and after thawing it must be used promptly according to protocol. The idea that it is pooled at room temperature and expires within a short window in open systems does not align with how cryoprecipitate is prepared and stored, so that statement does not apply.
