nsfirm reacted to Sonya Martinez in Thermometers for taking temp of returned blood products
Oh, I forgot we discard are returned products in syringes regardless of how long they've been out since we can't take the temp.

right next to your post is an ad for digitrax temp-check.
I do not accept returns after 15 minutes. My study shows rbcs achieve >10C after that amount of time.

nsfirm reacted to Liz in blood bag and patient identification
The transfusionist (nurse) identifies that the Patient's triple name (on wrist band and verbally if possible) and ID MPI # match the triple name and MPI# on the tag, she/he also verifies that the info we have sent is correct: Blood Group, etc and that the crossmatch is signed by the BB, she/ he then signs to that effect. Then the witness (a nurse or MD) repeats the whole procedure separately and aslo signs to that effect. With the introduction of the handheld bedside barcode reader it will be a barrier that "should" help prevent mishaps.
