Blood depot

Safe blood group and blood unit management taking into account regulatory requirements

The SWISSLAB blood depot module for blood group serology and blood unit management provides a largely automated solution and optimum support for your workflows as well as the management of blood products.

Our SWISSLAB system guarantees the high level of safety that is required in this particularly sensitive area all the way through to complex blood group determination and antibody differentiation as well as serological cross-matching.

Thanks to specific rules and algorithms, the module can be tailored to the exact needs of the individual laboratory. Our system supports compliance with international directives governing transfusion medicine. In-depth tests and monitoring and an extensive role concept ensure maximum safety.

Blood donation

Donation and production module

The SWISSLAB blood donation module for donation and production has been specially developed for the complex and demanding processes in this sensitive area of the laboratory.

The user-friendly dialogs in the SWISSLAB system enable the quick and precise execution and monitoring of the highly specific work steps that must be carried out at a blood donation center.

Our system supports compliance with directives governing transfusion medicine, such as those of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the Robert Koch Institute, as well as Eurocode standards. The SWISSLAB module also supports compliance with the stringent requirements of the international "Human Blood Transfusion Standards".

LAURIS ID-CHECK

Safeguard specimen and blood unit management on the go

Patient safety and complete documentation of specimens and blood units are at the heart of the NEXUS / LAURIS ID-CHECK. With the mobile application, you can optimize workflows in hospital wards and validate these directly at the patient's bed.

Before taking a specimen, the patient's wristband and the pre-labeled test tube are scanned in order to clearly identify the patient and the specimen numbers stored in the LAURIS system. The data is compared with the SWISSLAB laboratory order in real time. If the patient ID and the specimen order number match, the specimen is taken and the time and the processor are documented. The app can also be used for transfusion. In this case, the identity of the patient and the products to be transfused are checked to ensure that they are correct, valid and assigned to the patient. This is how NEXUS / LAURIS ID-Check virtually eliminates mix-ups completely.
