Each objective below describes a transfusion-service laboratory competency, product integrity, labeling, storage, and issue practice first; clinical treatment protocols second.

  • Describe the purpose of validated shipping containers and qualified packing configurations in maintaining each component's required storage condition during transport between facilities or to the bedside/OR
  • Apply chain-of-custody principles, time-out/time-in documentation, courier identification, tamper-evident seals, that preserve component traceability during transport
  • Perform a systematic receipt inspection (container/seal integrity, temperature indicator, labeling match, visual inspection) before accepting a transported component into inventory or issuing it for transfusion
