BloodTrack® Tx
Transfusion Safety and Management System

The Tx system improves patient safety and nursing efficiency at the bedside:

• Provides positive patient identification from sample collection to transfusion
• Ensures that all specimen tubes are labeled correctly
• Checks that the right blood is at the patient's bedside before starting the transfusion
• Eliminates all bedside paper work and transcription errors as the handheld PDA collects all the necessary data
• Establishes a complete electronic audit trail of all blood transfusion events
• Leads the caregiver through the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the hospital
• Reduces nursing time by allowing for single nurse checking
• Provides an electronic record including proof of the blood unit fate
• Increases user confidence in knowing the correct care has been given
• FDA cleared for sale in the US
• Exceeds JCAHO 2007 recommendation of 2 patient identifiers
• Compatible with ISBT and codabar

Using AutoPPI, each patient can be identified by the barcoded information printed on a wristband. This ensures positive identification of each and every patient before transfusion, thus eliminating near-misses and errors relating to patient identification. BloodTrack Tx captures patient information by scanning their wristbands. Both machine and human readable patient information are then printed on the sample labels. This saves time and eliminates transcription errors. BloodTrack Tx matches patient information, compatibility label and blood unit number before starting the transfusion to ensure the blood is right for the patient. This is all done by a handheld PDA at the patient's bedside. Tx records the following information electronically:

• Caregiver and device ID of each interaction
• Arrival time of the blood unit on the ward
• Start, finish and observation times for the transfusion of each unit
• Patient details including hospital number, last name, first name, date of birth, gender, reactions, vitals
• Blood unit details including donation number, product code, product description, volume

Using 1D and 2D barcodes (or RFID), inputting patient and caregiver information has never been easier. Tx guides and prompts the caregiver in a step-by-step manner to ensure all required information are entered.
