A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING PROCEDURES IN A BLOOD COMPONENT COLLECTION FACILITY

摘要

A system (10), computer readable medium (44b) and method for managing a procedure in a blood component collection facility is disclosed. The system comprises a blood component donor identifier corresponding to a blood component donor, an operator identifier corresponding to a blood component collection instrument operator, a blood component collection instrument (20a), a system computer and an interface. The collection instrument (20a) collects a blood component from the blood component donor. The system computer (44b) is operably connected to the blood component collection instrument and runs a blood component collection application defining at least one step of a blood component collection process. The interface (44b) has a reader and is operably connected to the system computer (44b). The interface and reader receives the blood component donor identifier and the operator identifier and transmits the operator identifier to the system computer (44b) proximate the performance of at least one step of the blood component collection process.
