Is anyone aware of a current or forthcoming standard or requirement that states:" the expiration date/time of the blood product being transfused SHALL be on the transfusion tag/label as well as the blood product itself"? It is a question that came up while we are in the process of revising some of our forms. Any comments are welcome. In a side note, this info may be beneficial to the transfusionist while performing bedside checks, but is it necessary?
