BloodTrack® Courier
Blood Management Beyond the Blood Bank

BloodTrack Courier tracks one blood unit every 60 seconds, 365 days a year. That's over 500,000 blood units tracked every year. It is installed in 175 distinct locations across 55 sites with over 50,000 trained users. The Courier system provides control of blood movement and inventory beyond the blood bank:

• Tracks every blood unit when it moves in and out of every location
• Immediately warns if a blood unit is too long out of storage
• Provides detailed reports, including unit histories, refrigerator inventories, and current locations of all blood units
• Provides a powerful search tool to find any unit, at any time
• Increases user confidence knowning that that right blood has been delivered
• FDA cleared for sale in the US

You can customize BloodTrack Courier to suit your needs. With BloodTrack Courier, you can set the transportation method for the blood units, and the maximum amount of time spent in transit for each of mode before the blood is considered unsafe. In addition, you can assign different rules to different products. To further ensure the right unit is taken for the right patient, you can add an extra step in BloodTrack Courier to enter or scan the patient information from the request form. You can also customize all the text and audio messages used by BloodTrack Courier. The BloodTrack Courier computers are equipped with touch-screens so you do not need a mouse or keyboard to use BloodTrack Courier. It's simple and easy to use and can be used by anyone with minimal training. When errors are detected during movement of blood units or transfusion of blood units, the Blood Bank is instantly alerted via both visual and audible means. This enables Blood Bank staff to be proactive and intercede at the earliest opportunity in order to minimize potential consequences. The system also maintains a detailed audit trail of the Blood Bank staff member that viewed each error and the action that was taken to correct the problem. BloodTrack Courier 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. Each time that a blood unit is handled, the system verifies the following:

• The person handling the blood unit is authorized
• The blood unit has not passed its expiry date
• The blood unit cross-match has not passed its dereservation (reserved until) date
• The blood unit is the oldest available for the specified patient
• The blood unit has not been outside of refrigeration longer than appropriate

Each event recorded in the audit can be viewed by BloodTrack Manager and includes the following information:

• Type of event
• Location of the event
• Kiosk that was used
• Caregiver
• Blood unit
• Date and time
• Any error generated by the event
