  1. Does anyone out there have problems with physicians complying with signing before transfusion? Does anyone have an answer to physicians wanting nursing to explain the consent form, get the patient signature, and witness it. Then the physician will sign it later (sometimes weeks later at discharge when medical records insists!!). Can anyone quote me the regulation / standard that says the physician must sign before transfusion or is this set down by the institution?
  2. How are people defining tissue for the purpose of tracking: does it have to be of human origin for you to track it, or are you also tracking bovine, pig, etc products?? What about metalic implements? Where do you draw the line? We have previously drawn the line at human origin, but am now wondering if that is correct?
  3. DM thank you for providing this website. It is a great way to get just a handful of labels (ABO/RH and product codes) to have on hand for those occasional needs for splitting units.
  4. They scanned in perfectly in Meditech. Thank you so much for providing these labels as an alternative labeling source when only a few labels are needed.
  5. We enter them in under "Lots" routine because they do not always come to us with an unique identifier that is readily usable. By using the "lots" routine we are able to assign a "T" number, or "CC" number, or whatever and still retain the lot information. Any other info is entered into the comments area.
  6. We have been tracking tissues with Meditech for a number of years. We built the product "Tissue" into our products. They are entered in by the "Lots" routine which creates an unique ID number for our tracking purposes at that point. Also, when we enter it into the system, we enter all the tracking information we can find into the "comments" area. This would include : type of tissue (Opteform disc, Graft jacket, etc), size listed on package, any donor ID numbers, any other info on package. The lot number will be asked for in the normal entering of the unit. The unit is then issued through Meditech the same as a blood product and "tranfusion" data is entered after it is implanted.
