Auntie-D Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If the unit is to be transfused this is complete overkill.Since 90+% of the times we use a cooler the products are going off-site, generally for 6-8 hrs, what recording temps at the transfusion site allows is for us to return the units to inventory if they aren't transfused. Frequently patients don't show for their appointment, or for one reason or another they can't receive all of the units that were requested. By recording temps when the products are packed, on arrival and several times throughout the day we can safely return the units to stock. The assessors like it as well!Ah makes sense for off site shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
