Hello! Our transfusion service is getting ready to switch computer systems in the next year, so it's a good time to make improvements to our current processes. We use plastic fasteners to attach paper tags with a compatibility label to the unit of blood, plasma, etc. It is a cumbersome process, especially when we are in a hurry tagging multiple units at one time for a stat. I've heard of some blood banks placing a compatibility label directly to the unit of blood, but I would worry about it falling off or covering up unit labels. How is everyone else labeling their units with the compatibility information? Thanks in advance!
