A German University clinic has licensed a blood information system and laboratory information system for its blood center.
EdgeBlood is the leading Blood Center management system used in France. It is also used to process more than half the blood drawn in Germany as well as processing significant parts of the Austrian and Swiss blood supplies. EdgeBlood is used in Greece as well as five African countries. EdgeBlood has an easy-to-use Windows graphical user interface and contains all major functionality needed by a blood center from donor recruitment through product distribution.
EdgeLab has become the leading Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in Europe and is used in more than 150 licensed laboratories. EdgeLab is connected with more than 1,000 analyzers and interchanges data with all major hospital healthcare software packages. It has a vibrant, easy-to-use Windows graphical interface in addition to a comprehensive range of laboratory functionality. EdgeLab can be easily configured to meet the business needs of large, diverse, multisite hospital laboratories, as well as small, single site hospitals.
GLI (Alzey, Germany) is the German division of Global Med Technology's Inlog subsidiary. The two systems, EdgeBlood and EdgeLab, have been licensed by the University of Saarland Clinic Blood Center (Homburg, Germany) from GLI. The systems will be deployed on 25 workstations in the blood center and laboratory. Up to 50 remote users will access the Web result server EdgeNet. Five analyzers will be connected to EdgeLab, Inlog's Laboratory Information System. The blood center collects 30,000 whole blood donations per year.
"After detailed market research, the University Medical Center of Saarland has decided to install the LIS EdgeBlood/EdgeLab from the company, GLI. This decision was made because, among other reasons, the system can completely control the management of all essential services in transfusion medicine. Moreover, the software is already in use in the National German Red Cross Blood Donation Services. It has also been used successfully in comparable university facilities for many years. In view of the connection between pharmaceutical and clinical aspects of transfusion medicine, EdgeBlood and EdgeLab will create a center of excellence for the University Medical Center of Saarland," stated Prof. Dr. med. Hermann Eichler of the Institute of Clinical Hemostaseology and Transfusion Medicine Homburg/University Medical Center of Saarland.
