[Any other EPIC/SCC/SoftBank users here?]

Not EPIC/Softbank  Live for another year Fall 2020 - but would like to join in.

[Anyone using the Vision (new Ortho analyzer)?]

We went LIVE with a VISION on  Nov 14th.  We have similar QC problems at times.   Varies with lot of cards and/ or handling during delivery process.   Ortho is working on the cardboard dust problem with a possible packaging change. 

The noise can be annoying-- but as any laboratory noise, you assimilate and block it out.  

Instrument is faster than Provue- and uses significantly less reagent cells.   Update has been released and we look forward to being able to edit grading on QC when artifact is an issue.  We have been saving our partially used cards in anticipation of this update. 

Interfaced with Meditech 5.67- and it has been working well.   ( No middleware) .

[Meditech TAR-Beside verification]

I'm looking for Meditech users that have implemented Meditech Transfusion Administration Record. I am currently starting the process and I have some questions.

What identification are your patients wearing for transfusion bedside verification?

General Hospital band with Acct and Med Record # barcodes?

Unique barcode numbered Blood bank wristband with Med Rec or other barcode #'s?

Any particular manufacturer's item that worked for you?

[great to hear from all of you]

I have worked in a community hospital transfusion service for 20+ years. The last 5 with Meditech and an Ortho Provue. We get all our products form Red Cross and are still using Codabar labelling but are ready for ISBT when implemented by ARC.

I was glad to so the Meditech users on this site. Will be back again.

I am looking for a Codabar barcode for 5-day plasma?

[Gel Card Worktable]

I have several large Gel worktables that we do not use ,if you are interested. We have a Provue ---and rarely use these tables. I'm sure we could give you a good price.
