TraceSOFT BTV
A Modular Blood Transfusion Verification (BTV) System that extends the capability of existing pathology systems

TraceSOFT LAB
Electronically collect, print and report TraceSAFE blood transfusion compatibility labels. Once transfused: view, confirm/report fate of blood to internal (Archive) database or existing pathology system. Print/Email exception reports and request fate updates. Being a PC based solution removes the need for expensive and complicated security wireless LAN (WLAN) networks.

TraceSOFT WARD
Confirm on ward PC that the right blood products are given to the right patient and/or fate of blood, enter details manually or electronically when using TransSAFE Verifier & Positive Patient Identification technology

TraceSAFE TAG
It is a specialised tagging label system that offers a simple yet comprehensive solution for Blood Transfusion Departments.

Clearly printed information improves visual checking procedures at the bedside and avoid transcription errors
Ensures information is recorded in the case note
Secure fastening avoids labels becoming detached from the blood bag
Provides a methodology for proof of Transfusion for each unit

TransSAFE Verifier
Ensures the correct compatibility labels is applied to correct blood product in lab, and correct blood productis given to correct patient at point of transfusion. TransSAFE verifiers used in the blood transfusion procedure removes the need for multiple care givers.

PPI
Positive patient identification system using 1D and /or 2D barcode or RFID wristbands & labels and ID Cards
