BloodTrack^® Remote Inventory and
Bedside Transfusion Management Solution

• Provides visibility of blood beyond the blood bank by displaying remote inventory, transfusion status, and alerts in real time, allowing traceability of blood products to help ensure compliance.

• Monitors, secures, and records O- and O+ blood access in the emergency department.

• Secures, tracks, and verifies the movement of any blood products in and out of remote storage locations.

• Capable of issuing blood products in less than 60 seconds from 150 refrigerated compartments by allocating blood products just in time at the point of care.

• Capable of issuing blood products in less than 60 seconds from 9 refrigerated locking drawers by allocating blood products just in time at the point of care.

• Enables nurses to query the location of blood units, check cross-match sample validity, and monitor the status of transfusions from any workstation.

• Allows the arrival and final disposition of a blood unit (end transfusion confirmation) to be recorded at any workstation and electronically sent to the blood bank.

• Prints barcoded wristbands (linear and 2D) for positive patient identification, enabling BloodTrack Tx deployments without the need for wireless networks.

• Verifies that the right blood is given to the right patient using barcode point-of-care (BPOC) and barcode positive-patient identification technology.

• Track, monitor, and secure your remote blood inventory.

• Enable your blood to be issued on demand, at the point of care.

• Verify your patient transfusions using barcoded wristbands and mobile computers.

• Provide your clinical staff with visibility to inventory and transfusion status.

• Provide electronic traceability records of blood products once they leave the blood bank.

V4.1 of BloodTrack Manager is included in the BloodTrack 510(k): BloodTrack is an electronic information management system intended for use in healthcare facilities by trained healthcare professionals to help prevent latent errors by monitoring the handling, transportation and transfusion of blood or blood products so that complete audit trails are recorded. BloodTrack can enhance transfusion safety by providing for positive patient identification at the bedside when blood samples are collected and at the time of transfusion of blood or blood products.

BloodTrack can also reduce the risk of a healthcare professional retrieving the wrong blood unit for a patient by printing a blood product pickup slip at the bedside and requiring confirmation of the patient’s identification when blood units are removed from a managed storage location to be delivered to the patient’s bedside. Each time a blood unit is removed from, or placed into, a managed storage location, BloodTrack verifies the expiration date of the blood unit, that the audit trail for the blood unit is complete, and that the blood unit has not been out of refrigeration too long. If the blood unit has expired, the audit trail is incomplete, or the blood unit has been out of refrigeration too long, BloodTrack warns the user of the problem.

BloodTrack can control remote release, a process where a compatibility label is remotely printed and applied to a blood unit outside of the blood bank. Remote release involves the use of an inventory of unassigned blood units maintained in BloodTrack managed storage locations outside of the blood bank. When blood is needed for a patient, BloodTrack verifies the patient’s eligibility for remote release by querying the Blood Establishment Computer System (BECS) and if eligible, prints a compatibility label to be applied to the blood unit at the managed storage location. Although the compatibility label may be printed remotely by BloodTrack, the decision to print the compatibility label is still made by the BECS. In simple terms, the BloodTrack remote release process simply changes the location where the compatibility label is printed and applied to the blood unit.

BloodTrack can prompt the user at each stage of the transfusion process to scan patient identification, blood unit or compatibility barcode labels, enter patient vital signs, confirm special blood requirements, record volume transfused, or indicate transfusion reactions. BloodTrack creates a record of the transfusion that may be printed for the patient’s record, stored, and uploaded to a remote database.

BloodTrack maintains an audit trail of each movement of the blood unit, from activation in the BloodTrack system through to final disposition, which can be remotely stored, displayed monitored, and printed.
