iTrans
An intelligent Blood transportation and Haemovigilance box
As per the SHOT (serious hazards of Blood transfusion) report, there have been many incidents of blood units administered to wrong patients leading to fatal outcomes. Most incidents result from mistakes, often multiple, in the transfusion process. The key reasons for these mistakes include;
-
No direct correlation between the patient identification and the blood being transfused leading to "wrong blood wrong hand" incidences.
-
Last minute changes in test result or exceptions in cold chain are not validated to stop last minute transfusion
-
Haemovigilance checklist is manual or computerized but not directly connected with the blood issue process.
