[Groupamatic 360 C1 and transfusion safety].

Presentation of an evaluation program of patient blood grouping through Groupamatic, with final report printed out under the control of the management computer of the blood center. The flow chart is composed of three main steps:--information tracking on a two-part card,--duplicated determination of blood groups and phenotypes by Groupamatic,--correlation check between the two runs by the management computer, followed by the print out of the blood grouping results. Print out always includes two STEPS:--for the first blood grouping: self adhesive label on a color form and on the transfusion record,--for the second blood grouping: definite blood group card and check label for transfusion record,--for antibody screening and pretransfusion check up, results and label with a summary taped on. Transfusion file should always follow the patient and allows to write his transfusion "past" just by sticking on the I.D. numbers of transfused products. Furthermore, the management computer prints out:--the result log book.--a daily updated alphanumeric listing.
