Overview

What you are buying

Blood Bank Inventory & Safety gives the transfusion service one view of blood product inventory, crossmatch and issue activity, storage temperatures and transfusion reactions across every location that holds blood. It works alongside your FDA-cleared blood bank system, which stays the place where compatibility is decided and products are released. Every excursion, reaction and investigation keeps its evidence and sign-offs, ready for inspectors and accreditation assessors.

The problem it solves

Most transfusion services track inventory in the blood bank system, refrigerator temperatures on chart recorders or a separate monitoring tool, and transfusion reactions on paper forms that travel from the bedside to the lab. Satellite refrigerators in surgery and emergency departments add storage locations that are hard to see from the lab. When a reaction is reported late, a temperature alarm goes unanswered, or a product's chain of custody has a gap, the evidence an inspector asks for has to be reconstructed from several records.

  • Inventory, crossmatched units and expiring products are hard to see across locations
  • Temperature excursions and their dispositions are recorded on separate logs
  • Transfusion reaction reports arrive late or incomplete from clinical areas
  • Investigations, deviation reports and medical director reviews are tracked by hand

Who uses it

  • Transfusion service and blood bank laboratories in hospitals and health systems
  • Blood bank supervisors and medical laboratory scientists
  • Transfusion service medical directors and transfusion safety officers
  • Nursing and clinical areas that transfuse blood and report reactions
  • Quality managers preparing for FDA, CAP, AABB and Joint Commission review

Requirements it supports

FDA current good manufacturing practice for blood and blood components (21 CFR Part 606)FDA biological product deviation reporting (21 CFR 606.171)Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (42 CFR Part 493)CMS hospital Conditions of Participation for laboratory services (42 CFR 482.27)AABB Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion ServicesHIPAA Privacy and Security Rules (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164)

A short walkthrough

Illustrative screens with fictional sample data. They show the workflow, not any client’s data or configuration, and the layout of the product itself differs. A live demonstration uses the product with sample data.

  1. Step 1

    Inventory at every location

    The service starts from one view of units on hand, by location, product and group, with stock below minimum and units near expiry flagged.

    LocationProductGroupOn handMinimumExpiring soon

    The service starts from one view of units on hand, by location, product and group, with stock below minimum and units near expiry flagged.

  2. Step 2

    A temperature excursion

    When a storage device goes outside its limits, the record lists the units inside it and asks for a disposition for each.

    • Unit EX-RBC-1191 · Red cells · O negative
    • Unit EX-FFP-0774 · Plasma, thawed · AB
    When a storage device goes outside its limits, the record lists the units inside it and asks for a disposition for each.

  3. Step 3

    Issued and returned units

    Units issued to clinical areas are followed until transfused or returned, with the time out of controlled storage shown on return.

    Units issued to clinical areas are followed until transfused or returned, with the time out of controlled storage shown on return.

  4. Step 4

    Reporting a suspected reaction

    The transfusing nurse reports a suspected reaction from the bedside, with the units involved and the signs observed.

    Patient 20931 (fictional) · Suspected transfusion reaction

    Reported by
    Transfusing nurse, Ward 4B

    Sent to the laboratory

    • Remaining unit and administration set
    • Post-transfusion blood sample
    • Copy of the bedside check
    The transfusing nurse reports a suspected reaction from the bedside, with the units involved and the signs observed.

  5. Step 5

    The investigation

    The laboratory work-up, the medical director's classification and the follow-up actions are kept in one record.

    6. Prepared for hemovigilance entryTransfusion safety officer
    The laboratory work-up, the medical director's classification and the follow-up actions are kept in one record.

  6. Step 6

    Tracing a single unit

    For a lookback, recall or inspection request, the full history of a unit is available from receipt to final disposition.

    Unit EX-RBC-1188 · Red cells · O negative

    For a lookback, recall or inspection request, the full history of a unit is available from receipt to final disposition.

Workflows

The principal workflows

  1. Stock

    Units received, stored, transferred and discarded are brought in from your blood bank system, so the transfusion service sees what it holds at every location by product type, ABO/Rh group and expiry.

    • Inventory and unit status arrive from your blood bank system by interface or scheduled file
    • Units are shown by location, product type, group and expiry
    • Stock is compared with the minimum levels your service sets for each product and group
    • Units close to expiry are flagged for rotation or transfer
    • Discards are recorded with a reason for wastage review

  2. Store

    Temperatures from refrigerators, freezers, platelet incubators and validated transport containers are recorded against the units they held, and every excursion is worked to a documented disposition.

    • Temperature readings arrive from your monitoring devices or are entered at manual checks
    • An excursion outside the limits you set opens a record and notifies the people on duty
    • The units affected are listed from the inventory at that location and time
    • A supervisor records the disposition of each unit with the reason
    • Recurring excursions are linked to the equipment record for corrective action

  3. Issue

    Crossmatch and issue activity from the blood bank system is tracked to the bedside, so the service can see which units are reserved, issued, transfused or returned, and whether each return is acceptable for reissue.

    • Crossmatched and reserved units shown with the patient, requester and release time
    • Units issued to clinical areas tracked until transfused or returned
    • Returned units checked against the time out of controlled storage and the container used
    • Transfusion start and end recorded from the clinical record or by the transfusing nurse
    • Final disposition of every unit available for traceability

  4. Investigate

    Suspected transfusion reactions are reported from the clinical area, investigated by the laboratory and reviewed by the medical director, with deviation reporting prepared where it is needed.

    • Nurse reports the suspected reaction with signs, symptoms and the units involved
    • Laboratory records the investigation tests and results
    • Medical director classifies the reaction and its relationship to the transfusion
    • Reactions meeting your reporting criteria are prepared for hemovigilance or FDA reporting
    • Follow-up actions and patient record notes are tracked to completion

How access is controlled

  • Separation is built in: the person who records an excursion or a laboratory result is not the person who signs it off, and reaction classification is reserved for the medical director or a designated physician.
  • Roles are configured with you during implementation. You can rename them, create custom roles, and limit them by facility, laboratory or clinical area, so each team sees only the units and reports it is responsible for.
  • Every permission change is recorded in the audit trail with who made it and when, and access review reports list each person's roles for periodic review by the medical director.
  • Staff sign in through your identity provider, and roles can follow its groups. Inspectors and assessors get temporary read-only access with a defined scope and an end date, rather than shared accounts.

Exports, access and evidence

  • Every report can be exported to CSV, and summary and evidence reports to PDF. Reports can be scheduled to arrive by email for the people entitled to see them.
  • Each report can be filtered and the filters saved, so a supervisor or the medical director can keep their own views. Reports that need a different shape can be built in your own tools from the data described below.
  • Inventory, excursion, reaction and wastage data is available through the Moraph Work API, and can be delivered to your data warehouse or business intelligence tool.
  • Reports respect each viewer's role: clinical areas see their own issues and reports, the laboratory sees the whole service, and inspectors can be given read-only access to reports and the audit trail.
  • Quality and inspection reports can be run as of a past date and give the same result each time. Running and exporting a report is itself recorded in the audit trail.

Deployment

Where and how it runs

Moraph cloud

Hosted and operated by Moraph in the United States region. United Kingdom and Australia regions are available for organizations outside the US.

Dedicated environment

A single-tenant environment for health systems whose policies require isolation, scoped in the proposal.

With a managed service

Optionally run alongside a Moraph managed service for interface monitoring and application administration.

Security controls, independent audits and data residency are set out in our Trust Center. Engagement models and what drives a quotation are on Working with Moraph.

Implementation

What a rollout involves

The general phases are on Working with Moraph. For this product, they involve the following.

Interface mapping

We map unit, product code and status events from your blood bank system and agree the interface or file schedule. We need interface specifications and a contact from your laboratory information systems team.

Storage and equipment setup

Every refrigerator, freezer, incubator and transport container is recorded with its location, limits and monitoring source, and readings are checked against the device.

Procedures and forms

Excursion dispositions, return acceptance rules, reaction report forms and investigation steps are configured to match your standard operating procedures.

Validation support

We provide test scripts and evidence for your own validation of the configured system, as your quality system and accreditors expect.

Roles and clinical areas

Roles, clinical areas and notification rules are set up, including who is called when an excursion or reaction is recorded out of hours.

Training and go-live

Laboratory staff, supervisors, the medical director and nursing representatives are trained on their own workflows, and paper forms are retired by agreement.

Limitations

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you evaluate it.

  • It is not blood establishment computer software and is not cleared by the FDA as a medical device. Compatibility testing, crossmatch decisions, electronic issue and product release stay in your FDA-cleared blood bank system.
  • It does not label, modify or manufacture blood components, and it does not replace the records your blood bank system must keep.
  • It does not submit reports to the FDA, NHSN or any other body. Your staff review, approve and submit each report.
  • Reaction classification and the decision whether an event is reportable are made by your medical director, not the software.
  • Temperature records depend on the monitoring devices and data loggers you provide and on their calibration; it does not replace an alarm system that alerts staff locally.
  • It does not manage blood donor collection, donor eligibility or donor records.
  • Inventory shown is only as current as the events your blood bank system sends; units handled outside that system must be recorded there first.
  • Your organization remains responsible for validating the configured system under its own quality system.

Evaluation checklist

What to test in a demonstration or pilot

Questions worth putting to us, and to any other vendor you are considering.

  1. Connect a test feed from your blood bank system and check that unit status changes appear as expected
  2. Load a sample of temperature data from one refrigerator and work an excursion to disposition
  3. Ask a nurse to report a suspected reaction using the bedside form and time how long it takes
  4. Walk a reaction from report through medical director classification to a prepared hemovigilance entry
  5. Trace one unit from receipt to final disposition as you would for an inspector
  6. Confirm role separation: who can record, review and approve a disposition or classification

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our blood bank system?

No. Your FDA-cleared blood bank system stays the system of record for compatibility testing, crossmatch, issue and product release. This product brings its events together with storage, reaction and quality records.

Can satellite refrigerators be included?

Yes. Every storage location you define, including remote refrigerators and transport containers, can be set up with its limits and monitoring source.

Does it report to the FDA or NHSN for us?

No. It prepares the information in the structure those reports need, and your staff review and submit them.

Do you sign a business associate agreement?

Yes. Patient information is involved, so Moraph signs a business associate agreement with your organization.

How is it priced?

As a subscription, usually measured by the number of facilities and transfusion volume, with implementation charged separately. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.

Is there an accessibility conformance report?

Ask for one through the procurement request form at /how-to-buy/request, naming the version you are evaluating.
