  • Patent number: 11954104
    Abstract: A database query processing system for blood donation tracking includes a database, a network interface circuit and a processing circuit. The database stores records for a plurality of blood donors, each record comprising an amount of a blood component the blood donor has donated. The processing circuit determines an amount of a blood component a first donor may donate based on records for a plurality of donations made by the first blood donor and based on a limit of an amount of blood component the donor may donate in a predetermined period of time. The processing circuit further receives a request for the amount of the blood component the first donor may donate and transmits the amount of the blood component the first donor may donate to the remote computing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210335459
    Abstract: A distributed computing system for managing blood processing procedures in a blood processing facility has a system server, a plurality of computerized blood collection instruments and a computer. The system server stores data identifiers for different human operators. The blood collection instruments collect blood components from donors to generate collected products. Each instrument transmits data regarding the instrument to the system server, the system server storing data identifiers for each instrument. The computer presents the data regarding the blood collection instruments on a display and receives assignments of different donors to different blood collection instruments from a human administrator.

  • Patent number: 11074995
    Abstract: A distributed computing system for managing blood processing procedures in a blood processing facility includes a system server, a plurality of computerized blood collection instruments, a network, a reception staff computer and an administrative level computer, with operations distributed among the various computing devices. The system server stores data identifiers for a plurality of different human operators. The computerized blood collection instruments collect blood components from donors to generate collected products and transmit real-time data regarding the blood collection instrument to the system server. The reception staff computer intakes donor data and uploads the donor data to the system server. The administrative level computer presents the donor data and the real-time data regarding the blood collection instruments on a display and receives assignments of different donors to different blood collection instruments from a human administrator.

  • Publication number: 20100049542
    Abstract: Systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for managing blood processing operations and data for one or more blood component collection facilities are provided. An example system for networking the blood component collection facility includes a system computer including a memory and a communication interface. The system computer is linked to a plurality of input devices for tracking donors, operators, soft goods, and blood component collection instruments with respect to one or more blood product collection procedures. The system computer is also linked to at least one administrative level computing device to monitor blood component collection activities throughout the blood component collection facility and to facilitate decision making with respect to allocation of at least one of donors, operators, soft goods, and blood component collection instruments based on information regarding at least one of donors, operators, soft goods, and blood component collection instruments.
