Blood and tissue banks are highly regulated to ensure patient safety and the integrity of stored products. To comply with regulations set by the FDA and other governing bodies, red cells must only be stored in designated blood bank refrigerators. Maintaining specific air and core product temperatures is crucial, and alarm notifications should be sent immediately if there is any deviation.
Blood is an excellent culture medium for bacterial growth and must be stored in approved blood bank refrigerators at +2 to +6°C (+35.6 to +45.8°F), with a shelf life of 35 days from donation. Hospitals have designated blood bank refrigerators in pathology and theatre storerooms, and strict regulations govern the handling and storage of blood to prevent waste and ensure patient safety. Understanding these tight constraints, Setra offers automated wireless temperature monitoring systems tailored to your needs, ensuring compliance.
