Device Story
Standalone blood bank software; manages transfusion services across single or multi-site facilities. Inputs: patient data, specimen tracking info, blood product inventory, test results from interfaced instruments, and user-entered orders. Transforms inputs via relational database management to track patient/product safety, automate labeling (ISBT 128), and facilitate electronic crossmatching. Outputs: blood labels, inventory reports, transfusion records, and alerts for patient/product suitability. Used in clinical blood bank settings by transfusion service personnel. Enhances safety by reducing human error in product management and testing workflows. Healthcare providers use output to verify patient-product compatibility and manage emergency/routine transfusion procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Non-clinical (alpha) verification and validation testing performed. Clinical/user site (use acceptance) testing conducted to validate system performance against specifications. Results demonstrated expected functionality with no degradation in response times.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software; relational database management system; web-enabled user interface compatible with web browsers. Bi-directional interfaces to blood bank testing instruments and storage devices. Supports ISBT 128 labeling. Scalable to enterprise level.
Indications for Use
Indicated for transfusion service personnel to manage patient databases, register/admit/transfer patients, process orders, label blood products, perform electronic crossmatching, manage inventory, and interface with testing/storage instruments.
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.
(3) Labeling must include:
(i) Software limitations;
(ii) Unresolved anomalies, annotated with an explanation of the impact on safety or effectiveness;
(iii) Revision history; and
(iv) Hardware and peripheral specifications.
(4) Traceability matrix must be performed.
(5) Performance testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the system must be performed, including when adding new functional requirements (
*e.g.,* electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, or wireless coexistence).
