AutoRELEASE is unique because it combines cost-effectiveness with advanced technology to create a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional blood transfusion practices. By retrofitting existing equipment, incorporating FIFO inventory control, enabling real-time replenishment requests, and utilizing RFID technology for accurate blood matching, it carves out a new niche in the healthcare industry, setting new standards for patient care and operational efficiency.

AutoRELEASE complies with FDA regulations and ISBT128 standards, ensuring adherence to the highest safety and quality benchmarks. This compliance provides healthcare providers and patients with confidence in the system’s reliability and safety. Additionally, an integrated alarm system alerts staff if an unauthorized blood unit is removed, further enhancing security and compliance.

The real-time replenishment requests feature allows healthcare facilities to request blood units as needed, reducing the common practice of over-ordering. This approach minimizes waste and ensures that blood is available on demand, preventing shortages and ensuring that patients receive the care they need without unnecessary delays.

AutoRELEASE uses the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) inventory control system to ensure all blood units are used in the order they are received, reducing waste from expired blood products. This strategic approach optimizes operational efficiency by minimizing the risk of outdated inventory and ensuring a consistent supply of fresh blood. It also supports sustainability by reducing unnecessary waste.

The retrofitting capability allows AutoRELEASE to be installed in existing blood refrigerator units, eliminating the need for expensive new equipment. This makes it accessible to a broader range of healthcare facilities, allowing them to adopt the technology without significant additional costs. It also facilitates seamless integration into current workflows.

The solution enhances patient safety by eliminating human error in blood selection. By ensuring patients receive the correct blood type tailored to their needs, the risk of complications from incorrect transfusions is greatly reduced. It uses cutting-edge technology, including RFID tags, to ensure accurate matching of blood types and inventory criteria.
