BLOOD INFUSION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A blood infusion management system, comprising:
- a scanner configured to derive scan data from individual blood units and a patient identifier particular to an individual patient;
a display configured to visually display at least one individual blood unit status within a blood infusion protocol; and
a processor configured to run the blood infusion protocol, to provide data to the display for visual display of the blood infusion protocol, including the at least one individual blood unit status, to receive and process the scan data from the scanner, and to abort the blood infusion protocol if the processed scan data indicates that any of the individual blood units do not match the patient identifier,wherein the blood infusion protocol is configured to require at least two verification scans of an individual blood unit where the individual blood unit must match the patient identifier to acquire a transfusing status on the display for the individual blood unit.

Abstract
An blood infusion management system is described, including a scanner, a processor, and a display. The scanner derives scan data from a patient identifier and individual blood units and provides the scan data to the processor. The processor evaluates the scan data to ensure that the blood units match the patient identifier. If the blood units do not match, a blood infusion protocol is aborted. If the blood units match the patient identifier, then the blood infusion protocol is allowed to proceed. The blood infusion protocol requires at least two verification scans for any individual blood unit to achieve a transfusing status, and an additional scan of the patient identifier may be used to place the used blood units in a complete status.
