Blood units are transported from the central blood bank to the blood bank at BB Meegat General Hospital. Upon receipt, staff must monitor and record the temperature of transport containers to ensure blood products are within specified temperature ranges. Staff also inspect each blood unit, checking for hemolysis, leakage, damage, and verifying ABO and Rh typing. Units are then organized by blood type and labeled as ready for cross-match or reserved. Daily preservation tasks include temperature monitoring, checking expiration dates, and inventory levels. Blood is then delivered to hospital departments as needed upon receiving transfusion request forms and completing cross-match details.
