SIIATH (blood management) training

The SIIATH is used by blood banking labs to manage blood products and recipient testing and by healthcare institutions whose work involves blood product management.

Blood management includes the following components:

  • eTrace Line
  • Transfusion summary
  • Emergency plan
  • Inventory and expense reports

The eTrace Line software system is designed to control and manage the entire blood supply for the 93 blood bank laboratories in hospital centers in the province of Quebec. The software package enables traceability of tests performed on the recipient and tests performed on the products, as well as traceability of blood products administered and transfused to the recipient.
