A new data management application improves handling of reactive blood samples during molecular screening. This tool enhances data integrity and efficiency in blood donation services, ensuring transfusion safety.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Biotechnology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Blood transfusion safety is paramount, relying on accurate interpretation of serological and molecular assays.
  • Effective data management is crucial for handling initially reactive samples in molecular screening.
  • Existing workflows may lack the precision and traceability needed for complex reactive cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a data-management application for handling initially reactive blood donor samples.
  • To assess the application's performance and user satisfaction in a real-world laboratory setting.
  • To compare the new system's advantages against the existing data management workflow.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a novel data-management system in the Molecular Screening Laboratory of the Hellenic National Blood Transfusion Center.
