BloodTrack® HemoSafe
Blood Management Beyond the Blood Bank

The BloodTrack HemoSafe system provides control of blood movement and inventory beyond the blood bank:

• Reduces the time taken to provide blood to patients
• Eliminates unnecessary allocating and labeling of blood units
• Reduces overall blood inventory by reducing the number of pre-allocated units
• Reduces the number of journeys each blood bag makes between the blood bank and remote refrigerators
• Reduces the actual blood usage since blood is only removed if actually required
• Improves the overall management of blood stocks
• Provides allocated blood to remote locations 24/7 even when a blood bank technologist is not available
• Reduces the chance of blood unit expiry
• Increases security of remote blood units
• Tracks every blood unit when it moves in and out of HemoSafe locations
• Provides detailed reports, including unit histories, refrigerator inventories, and current locations of all blood units

BloodTrack HemoSafe allows allocated and unallocated blood units to be stored outside of the blood bank and dispensed safely in less than 60 seconds! This provides remote locations such as emergency rooms, operating theaters, and other hospitals with access to blood when they need it without having to contact the blood bank. In most blood banks, a lot of time is spent allocating and labeling blood bags that do not get transfused, more time is then wasted returning these units back to stock. HemoSafe stores unallocated blood so that users can safely allocate a unit when, where and only if it's needed. For example, in the operating room, instead of cross-matching 4 units of blood and sending them ahead of time, the anesthetist can allocate units using HemoSafe as they are needed. This saves the time and money associated with the transport, cross-matching, labeling and additional inventory of units that aren't transfused. BloodTrack HemoSafe provides access to only the most appropriate blood unit for the patient by opening only one of its individually locking 150 compartments (or HemoNine with 9 locking drawers), and only after the patient has been correctly identified. This helps ensure that the right blood is removed for the right patient.

HemoSafe does not make decisions on the electronic cross-match eligibility of patients or the assignment specific blood units, it communicates with your blood establishment computer system (BECS) for this information. You can customize BloodTrack HemoSafe to suit your needs. Blood unit identifiers (ISBT, CBS, Red Cross), audible and visual messages, and level of integration with your Blood Bank system can be all be customized to work the way you do. HemoSafe is also fully integrated into the comprehensive BloodTrack suite allowing you to easily expand your electronic blood management system. The BloodTrack HemoSafe refrigerators are equipped with touch-screens so you do not need a mouse or keyboard to use BloodTrack HemoSafe. 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 HemoSafe ensures that blood units match the corresponding patient information before dispensing blood to make sure that only right blood can be removed for the right patient. This is done by allowing access to only the right blood compartment. 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
