(BUSINESS WIRE) --
The Biolog-id solution was first implemented in 2018 to focus on the
distribution and inventory management of Platelet Concentrates (PCs)
between the Blood Center and 4 hospitals located nearby.
In
2019, it is also covering the Phenotyped Red Blood Cell Concentrates
(RBCs) managed by the Hoxworth Blood Center’s Immunohematology Reference
Laboratory (IRL). The laboratory provides testing and consultation to
assist hospitals in solving patients’ red blood cell serological
problems.
The
implementation of the Biolog-Transfusion® in Hoxworth Blood Center
ensures the availability of platelets concentrates and their on-time
delivery while reducing the risk of wastage by implementing a safe
return of unused products and more particularly to reduce the
transportation costs from the Blood Center to the hospitals, control the
shelf life of the remote platelets stock sitting in the hospitals,
allow the unused products to return and be reassigned in a timely manner
before expiration, reduce wastage of products overall, improve accuracy
and documentation of inventory and better comply with regulatory
requirements.
“As of today, we are satisfied with the BIOLOG-ID solution for platelets as well as their professional and committing team” says Jose A. Cancelas, Director of Hoxworth Blood Center.
Extension on the overall blood product production and supply is under consideration by Hoxworth Blood Center.
