jthibs Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi there....We have Meditech and was wondering what everone is doing with split units . In the past we added the letter B to the end of the unit number Now with ISBt128 and barcoding we thought this pratice shoud end. I believe i'm going to make a new product for split units. This way we can barcode the units when they come in. Is that what the majority is doing ?feedback would be appreciated.j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar1heel Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 We also have Meditech, ours is Client Server. For ISBT labeled units there is no need to create a new product if you have the software and digitrax printer to create labels directly from Meditech. Our process is to take the unit and make 2 aliquots out of it when we receive the first request for an aliquot. We then relabel the mother unit as the A0 aliquot and the other aliquot as the B0 aliquot - the correct product codes etc print out on the ISBT label. Meditech tracks the DIN with an alpha in their system - but you can print a label without the alpha at the end of the DIN, and you can print assignment labels and the transfusion record (IT card) without the alpha at the end of the DIN. The part information (A0, B0, Ba, etc) can be placed on the assignment label and the transfusion record for positive identification with the labeling on the aliquot.
