BloodTrace combines the production of a unique laser printable tag recording patient information for blood bag identification, with a means of recording the fate of each individual unit of blood on a ‘receipt’ section.

Without any alteration to host systems, BloodTrace-Print takes data from current systems and prints this onto a BloodTrace tag. An ISBT 128* barcode is also produced.

As the tag is printed, an image of the tag can be automatically created, hosted and indexed together with other associated forms, as part of an electronic information management solution; BloodTrace-Audit.

Every receipt slip is scanned after being returned to the Blood Transfusion Department, and the image created is hosted against the original. After a defined period of time, any original image that does not have an associated receipt will be easily identified and flagged up as an exception, enabling automatic investigation into units of blood whose fate is unknown.

The system then provides storage of the receipt for a period of 30 years and can also export the information back into the laboratory system.

*ISBT 128 is the global standard for the identification, labelling and information processing of human blood.
