The Burgos University Hospital, a major healthcare center located in the North of Spain, has selected and installed the X-Match® application from the French Med-Tech biolog-id. This application, based on RFID technology, enables
healthcare professionals to significantly reduce the risk of a transfusion mismatch at bedside.
One of the key steps in this medical care is proper transfusion: each year, between 400,000 and 500,000 transfusion errors occur worldwide and 80% are linked to traceability errors1. The biolog-id’s solutions aim to face this challenge.
“For a long time, we were looking for a solution which not only increases dramatically patient safety at bedside, but which also eliminates any paper-based reporting. By using the biolog-id X-Match® technology, we have improved the transfusion safety process, just as the related working conditions and efficiency of our team members. The app enables a paperless electronic recording and an automated compliant central documentation. Our daily hemovigilance report is only a click away!”, comments Dr. Virgina Dueñas, Head of the transfusion department.
Before any transfusion, the X-Match® application matches the assigned red blood cell units and the patients’ bracelets. Medical staff is equipped with a handheld personal digital assistant which ensures that the right product is administrated to the right patient.
Besides, the X-Match® application significantly reduces administrative work: all operations made with the device are transferred directly to the data base and can be accessed through the desktop. The standardization of these collected data ensures their accuracy in clinical studies.
“The value of our solution has been demonstrated and we are very pleased to confirm its effectiveness in a real-world situation. The X-Match application has been designed to serve patients and to support the health professionals in their day-to-day”, declares Philippe Jacquet, Executive Director of Sales EMEA/LATAM at biolog-id.
