I somewhat recently moved from a larger hospital with digitrax ISBT label printer to a smaller hospital without a blood product label printer... When we thaw a unit of plasma, what sort of relabeling is required? We do use barcode scanning for issuing and transfusing, so if we modify the expiration in the computer and then scan the original barcode problems occur at issuing and then at transfusion as they don't match. Currently we have a sticker we put on the unit where we hand-write the thaw date/time and expiration date/time... is that... acceptable?
