I have been given the task of making us ISBT ready. We do not have a technical supervisor not do we have a manager who is strong with Blood Bank knowledge- so I am struggling here! We have conflicting information. We prepare neonatal syringes for all components and perform the normal thawing/pooling plasma, cryo, etc. The way I interpret the AABB regs, for all of those products we must relabel with ISBT labels that are barcode readable. This would include product code, unit number (neonatal syringes), expiration date, and modifying facility ID number. Is this correct? Can anyone tell me about the HemaTrax system? We have looked at purchasing it, but obviously the cost is huge and I do not know enough about what is required to know if we need this or not. I'm not even sure what labels it will print. We would prefer to purchase this as opposed to a different stand alone system as we currently use Mysis 6.2 and it is supposed to be interfaced with vers. 6.3. please help me understand!
