Manage donors and donations

A donation passes through screening, collection, testing and release before its units can be used. Each step has a button, and a step is refused until the previous one is complete.

From donor to units

1. 1Open Blood Bank → Donors. Add the donor with Name, Donor Number, Facility, Birth Date, Sex and Donor Consent Signed. Check Eligible Now.
2. 2Open Donations and select New. Choose the Donor and Donation Type (for a directed donation, the named patient is required).
3. 3Record the pre-donation screening: haemoglobin, weight, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and the health questionnaire. Select Pass Screening. If screening fails, select Defer Donor instead.
4. 4Enter the Volume Ml and select Record Collection. The volume must be plausible.
5. 5Select Send to Testing. Enter the ABO and Rh determinations twice, by two different people, and the screening test results. Select Apply Test Outcome.
6. 6A second person selects Verify on the result.
7. 7Select Process into Components. The donation becomes units in inventory, in quarantine.
