Hoxworth Blood Center, Biolog-id jointly manage blood products in Cincinnati

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- Blood bond. The Hoxworth Blood Center, a public institution belonging to the University of Cincinnati and Biolog-id have signed a partnership contract to manage blood products in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The blood centre has implemented the Biolog Transfusion®, an RFID Blood Supply Management solution in order to better track the flow of platelet concentrates and red blood cell concentrates.

The Biolog-id solution was first implemented in 2018 to focus on the distribution and inventory management of Platelet Concentrates between the centre and four nearby hospitals.
This year, it is also covering the Phenotyped Red Blood Cell Concentrates managed by the blood centre’s Immunohematology Reference Laboratory.
The laboratory provides testing and consultation to assist hospitals in solving patients’ red blood cell serological problems.
The implementation of the Biolog-Transfusion® in the Hoxworth Blood Center ensures the availability of platelet concentrates and their on-time delivery while reducing the risk of wastage.
“As of today, we are satisfied with the Biolog-id solution for platelets, as well as their professional and committing team,” said blood centre director, Jose A. Cancelas.
Extension on the overall blood product production and supply is under consideration by the Hoxworth Blood Center.
