Frequently Asked Questions
What type of facility operates a 358 L blood bank refrigerator?
This capacity suits large hospital blood banks and regional transfusion centers, with daily transfusion demand of 50-100+ units.
How does password protection prevent unauthorized blood removal?
Only trained, credentialed personnel with a PIN can access the refrigerator, protecting inventory from theft and contamination while maintaining audit trails.
What is the significance of 0.1°C precision in quality assurance?
Each 0.1°C increment away from 4°C shortens whole blood shelf life; precision control ensures maximum viability period and reduces wastage.
How does a dual audible/visual alarm system ensure staff awareness?
Audible alarms alert nearby staff to temperature or door-open events; visual indicators confirm the problem even in noisy blood bank environments.
Can multiple staff access this refrigerator with different permission levels?
Contact Procure.ae about whether this model supports tiered access with individual PIN codes for different staff roles.
