[Down time look up]

We are Meditech 5.62 Magic. We have a backup history that sends the entire patient history to a PC and we also save to our HIS network.

[Meditech and tissue tracking]

Dave,

We already pay for Meditech and have had many years of success with a department in Blood Bank dedicated to Tissues.

Also, with the DBM that we enter as LOTS, we have a prefix T dedicated to tissues entered as lots.

[Meditech and tissue tracking]

We have been using Meditech to track tissues for 5 years. We utilize LOTS for some tissues (DBM) but products for most of the tissues. We have been inspected by the FDA, JOCAH and AABB and have not had any problems. I have recently been involved in a conference call with Meditech Blood Bank specialists. Meditech is trying to get all the information to send to FDA in order for the system to be actually licensed for that use. We do not "manufacture or test" the tissues. We only store, issue and track. The OR orders the tissue in Meditech and we issue and track through the BB system.

[printing of unit tags]

We are in the process of budgeting for a new printer for Blood Bank Transfusion Service unit tag printer. What type of printer do you have? What type media do you use?

[Other software for ISBT 128]

We scan the barcodes into Meditech. So far, we have been with Meditech for 9 years and Blood Banking has ourgrown Meditech instead of vice versa.

We will be live next week with Computype. So far-everything is going fine.:cool:
