CEITEC S.A. announced it has signed an agreement with Hemobras to develop a RFID chip for tracking and managing blood bags.
The solution will help to ensure traceability and safety of blood product management, as Hemobras is a Brazilian company, funded by government to produce plasma and other products from human blood.
The system will enable improved identification, inventorying and logistics. Additionally, the system will streamline cross-matching, in which a recipient’s blood type is matched to available donated blood, reducing blood-type mismatches and waiting times.
