FinalCheck™ Recipient Safety System

An easy-to-use mechanical barrier system designed to help reduce blood transfusion errors associated with patient identification.

THE CHALLENGE

Knowing the steps required for proper patient identification is a given. Completing these steps consistently is a practical challenge. According to a CAP study of 660 hospitals1, all required patient ID steps were completed in only 1 of 4 transfusion cases.

THE SOLUTION

FinalCheck provides a physical barrier to the blood component. Only the FinalCheck code on the admissions band of the patient (intended for the transfusion) will open the locked component.

  • Peace of mind in the blood bank that the final bedside check is performed
  • Confidence for the transfusionist that the blood issued is going to the right patient
