The system aids healthcare providers in ensuring regulatory compliance and operational efficiency in blood banking workflows.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance established via bench testing, including functional verification and validation of software requirements and risk control measures. Testing confirmed compliance with predetermined specifications and FDA guidance documents.
Technological Characteristics
Web-enabled modular software architecture built on Java technology. Supports ISBT 128 standards for blood product labeling. Features include donor management, inventory control, and HLA/RBC phenotype matching. Software development follows ISO 14971:2019 risk management standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by trained personnel in blood establishments to manage and document the donation, processing, storage, and distribution of blood components.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Blood establishment computer software (BECS) is a device used in the manufacture of blood and blood components to assist in the prevention of disease in humans by identifying ineligible donors, by preventing the release of unsuitable blood and blood components for transfusion or for further manufacturing into products for human treatment or diagnosis, by performing compatibility testing between donor and recipient, or by performing positive identification of patients and blood components at the point of transfusion to prevent transfusion reactions. This generic type of device may include a BECS accessory, a device intended for use with BECS to augment the performance of the BECS or to expand or modify its indications for use.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for these devices are:(1) Software performance and functional requirements including detailed design specifications (
*e.g.,* algorithms or control characteristics, alarms, device limitations, and safety requirements).(2) Verification and validation testing and hazard analysis must be performed.
