Quality Management Systems - implementation in progress according to ISO9001: 2015.
Donor selection - healthy, vaccinated and dewormed.
Annual blood testing (available for consultation on our website):
• Complete blood count;
• Search for hemoparasites and erythrocyte changes in blood smear;
• Biochemistry;
• PCR for Mycoplasma haemofelis, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum and Candidatus turicensis (in cats);
• PCR for Leishmania, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Anaplasma and Dirofilaria (in dogs);
• FIV / FeLV immunochromatography (in cats).
Blood typing of donors
Strict cleaning and sterilization procedures during collection, processing and storage to ensure a closed collecting system is maintained.
Quality control of processed units by carrying out frequent bacteriological cultures, analysis of packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration and percentage of hemolysis.
Quality control of packed red blood cells with more than 4 weeks to ensure the viability of erythrocytes until the end of storage time.
Deep freezing of plasma, cryoprecipitate, platelet gel and platelet concentrate units (-80⁰C) in order to avoid large crystalization and thus guaranteeing better cell and protein stability during storage, which ensures therapeutic properties of stored proteins.
Temperature control during transport and storage.
Procedures established according to the standards and requirements of the European Council for human blood banks.
Computerized systems that allow for the rapid traceability of any blood components unit.
