Blood Center
Running a blood center takes the skill and dedication of many people. At every step in the process of recruiting, collecting, and supplying blood components, centers must use practices that maintain the safety of the blood supply and meet standards for component quality — all while keeping up with the growing demand for components.
CaridianBCT is here to help. We've partnered with blood centers worldwide, leading to improvements in operations through simplified processes across the blood center.
What fuels our commitment to you? The same things that motivate your staff to come to work and do their jobs every day — maintaining the highest quality of blood products for patients who need the life-saving benefits of blood transfusions.
What are your blood center's biggest challenges?
Rising deferrals reduce the number of donors available to meet the growing demand for blood components. To reach collection goals, many centers need strategies to convert whole blood donors to flexible automated blood collections. To help our customers maximize their blood collections technology, we created a donor recruitment and conversion program. Developed by former blood center staff members, this program helps educate your staff about automated blood collection strategies that meet your patient needs and improve your profitability.
Increasing demand for specific blood components challenges blood centers that collect the majority of blood components from whole blood. Moving more collections to automated blood collections helps your center focus more on collecting the life-saving components patients need. By automating the collection process, the blood center can selectively collect more of the needed components, more frequently, from the same donor base.
The component processing lab is a critical link in providing components, but processing involves many manual steps. We are working with centers to simplify the processes involved in producing high quality blood components from whole blood collections.
Modern technologies continue to offer your blood center better ways to collect, test, and process blood components. This progress brings with it new regulations and stricter governmental and industry requirements to protect the safety of the blood supply. We build our products with regulatory compliance and quality assurance in mind. We want to make it easier for you to produce safe blood components.
Our computerized systems were designed for operational efficiency, donor/patient safety, and enhanced regulatory compliance. Electronic data transfer from the collection device to the Vista Information System minimizes the need to generate manual, paper records. Electronic assessment of donor data helps ensure donor eligibility and donor safety.
