A computer-based frozen blood inventory and information system.

S C Roberts, D T Ruess, F R Camp

    Transfusion
    |May 11, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new computer system efficiently manages frozen red blood cell inventory for transfusions. It automates data retrieval, shipping, and record-keeping for cryopreserved blood units.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Informatics
    • Blood Banking Technology
    • Computer Science Applications in Medicine

    Background:

    • Maintaining accurate records for frozen red blood cell units is critical for transfusion services.
    • Manual inventory management systems are prone to errors and inefficiencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a computer-based system for managing frozen red blood cell inventory.
    • To enhance the retrieval, shipping, and record-keeping processes for cryopreserved blood units.

    Main Methods:

    • A time-sharing data processing system was developed for managing frozen red blood cell information.
    • The system automates data compilation, retrieval, shipping document preparation, and transfusion record maintenance.
    • Computerized selection of units based on cryopreservation method and antigenic characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully compiles and retrieves data on stored red blood cell units.
    • Automated preparation of shipping documents and maintenance of transfusion records.
    • Efficient selection of specific frozen red blood cell units based on operator-defined criteria.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer system significantly improves the management of frozen red blood cell inventory.
    • Automation enhances accuracy and efficiency in blood banking operations.
    • The system provides a retrievable transfusion record accessible by donor number or unit code.
