Blood transfusion centers

Patients' lives often depend on the safe and successful blood transfusion. A recent study shows that nearly 80% of blood transfusion errors are due to incorrect identification. The process of verifying that the patient is receiving the correct blood product is as follows:

• Identify the patient by scanning the barcode on the wrist band and blood product by scanning the label
• The patient's blood type is confirmed, the doctor's prescription is checked and the patient's consent for the manipulation is obtained

Zebra Technologies' blood transfusion management solutions allow identification and tracing of blood from donation to transfusion, ensuring that the patient receives the blood they need.
