The transfusionist (nurse) identifies that the Patient's triple name (on wrist band and verbally if possible) and ID MPI # match the triple name and MPI# on the tag, she/he also verifies that the info we have sent is correct: Blood Group, etc and that the crossmatch is signed by the BB, she/ he then signs to that effect. Then the witness (a nurse or MD) repeats the whole procedure separately and aslo signs to that effect. With the introduction of the handheld bedside barcode reader it will be a barrier that "should" help prevent mishaps.
