Is anyone who is up on ISBT using the Cell-Dyne 3700 (or other model) for testing Blood Component? We have been told by Abbott that they do not plan on upgrading the CD 3700 software so that it can read ISBT unit numbers. Currently the numbers have too many digits for the cell-dyne to read. Any help would beppreciated. Thanks Carrie

Cliff, We also are FACT accredited and our program decided that all forms about 400(FACT regulated and non-FACT regulated) need to have samples in the SOP manual. Prior to our last FACT inspection we had staff members go through the SOP manuals and make samples using directions in the SOP. This was a great training tool and good way to validate the SOP. So we added "make sample form" to our validation checklist. This prompts someone to make the sample. Training and validation all in one! Yeah! Yes it is tedious but it works for us. Hope this helps.

We are getting ready to hang hooks on a wall (top) and then put a shelf below. The problem we found using an IV pole is that you have to hang the bag upside down so the line kinks right as it is going into the bag. I'll let you know how it works.
