Results from the analyser, not from a notepad
Connect your TTI and serology analysers so results land against the right unit automatically. Transcription comes out of the critical path, and so do transcription errors.
Blood centres run on RAKT
States covered
Donors on record
Components prepared
From sample to released unit
The laboratory workflow, with the manual copying removed.
Analyser integration
HIV, HBsAg, HCV, VDRL, MP and NAT results captured from the instrument against the sample, instead of read off a printout.
Component preparation tracked
Blood Processing and Component Volume record what each bag yielded as PRBC, PRBC-LR, SWRC, FFP, CPP, PLC, RDP, SDP or CRYO.
QC registers per component
PRBC/WB, FFP/CPP, PLC/PRP and CRYO quality control captured in the register your assessor opens.
Automatic stock movement
A validated component becomes issuable at Shift To Tested Stock. A reactive TTI result moves the bag to Lab on its own.
Grouping and crossmatch
Forward and Reverse Grouping, phenotyping, irregular antibodies and Crossmatch Compatibility, each recorded against the bag and the request.
Traceable in both directions
From any component back to its parent bag and donor, or from a donor forward to every component their bag produced.
The system will not let an untested bag be issued
These are refusals, not warnings. A component that has not cleared grouping and TTI Screening and been shifted to tested stock cannot be allotted, and there is no override at the counter.
- “TTI testing not completed” — the bag cannot be allotted at all
- “Component is reactive in TTI testing” — and the reactive tests are named
- “Not shifted to tested stock” — validated is not the same as releasable
- A discard cannot be completed until your MO or MD approves it
