My hospital has a new cancer center opening in a few weeks that is located across the street from the main hospital building.  We've chosen the Credo ProMed bags for transporting blood products from the blood bank to the cancer center.  Can anyone share a validation plan or procedure that they used when validating new transport containers?  I'm going to have less than a week from the time the bags arrive until our cancer center opens (thanks to some poor planning by our purchasing department <_<), so I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks so much!

    Try this -  most of it might work for you.

The link will only work for 30 days.  I could not get a separte copy of the form.  Maybe it will come up for you anyway.  Good luck.

Thank you so much, Carolyn!  This will be a tremendous timesaver for me!  The form didn't show up in the link, but I shouldn't have too much trouble creating one based on your validation procedure.  Thanks again!
