Has anyone considered how to build for cold stored platelets in their BBIS?  SafeTraceTx at least, has expected temperature ranges for products on return from issue or delivery so we couldn't very well lump cold stored platelets in with other platelets.  I guess we could build an entirely new product class with its own temperature range.  Not that we are going to get cold-stored platelets anytime soon, much as we would love the 14-day shelf life.  We are too small and remote to keep a dual inventory for oncology vs. trauma patients.  I'm just curious how others plan to solve this issue.  After all, the driving force of our lives is keeping our computers happy, right?  Now if FDA would just approve 7-day expiration for all PR platelets!

Maybe you could make a Product Group for it.  I did that with Octaplas.

Yes, I think that is probably what would be required.
