In satisfying AABB standard 5.1.6.3.1 how do most places document the second check or does the process just need to state the process of the second check on modified products like pooled cryo.

Thanks

We have a place in the computer to document label check

Our computer system is capable of doing label verification.

Before we went to live with ISBT, we had log book where one tech would prepare the pool cryo bag with required 4 labels(pre printed) and second tech had to check all four labels(as per FDA barcoding rule, ABO-RH, Facillity code, product code and unit number) and sign off the log.

We are on Cerner Millinium 2007.18. There is a "Label Verify" option where the tech scans all of the label info into the correct spaces and that is compared to what is in the computer. If everything checks out the label is verified and if it is not correct the unit becomes quarantined until everthing is corrected.

We have MediTech and have begged them to add a "Label Verify" (scanning system) at the end of the "Make Aliquots", "Make Components" (aka Modify), and "Pool Units" routines. Until they do, we are still documenting the required 2nd label check by a 2nd tech on a paper log. We are a children's hospital so modifying, splitting and relabeling is what we do all day and night. You would think our computer system could be built/enhanced to capture this required information.... especially now that this could be done with simple scanning. So infuriating!

could you please send me a copy of your form

thank you

Our computer system has a label verify application

we have the meditech system. If you are using this system, could you please let me know the functionality.
