BBCS Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance for ABO Wheels
SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) January 15, 2015 -- Blood Bank Computer Systems, Inc. (BBCS) today announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared 510(k) clearance for its new ABO Wheels™ product, an essential part of the ABO Suite™. ABO Wheels is the second product in the ABO Suite to receive 510(k) clearance; the first one being ABO QuickPass™. ABO Wheels is a major breakthrough in blood bank software solutions. “This is another example of BBCS investing in new technology that makes us poised for the future,” says Beth Simon, CEO of BBCS.
ABO Wheels allows blood centers to conduct efficient, safe, paperless donor registration and screening at a reduced cost, and with increased staff and donor efficiencies. This comprehensive mobile blood-collection application can be used either at a collection facility or at a non-fixed site, regardless of connectivity to the main database, and is able to control multiple blood drives or remote events simultaneously. “ABO Wheels enables your staff to conduct world-class, paperless operations everywhere you desire to host blood drives,” says Brian Forbis, vice president of BBCS, who also explained that real-time entry of blood collection information and comprehensive data transfer to the BECS unlocks many opportunities for blood centers to escape the burden of double entry, or manual data entry. Ultimately, allowing blood to move through the supply chain at an excelled rate and a lower cost. Not to stop there, ABO Wheels also includes the ability to scan donor fingerprints – the latest in secure donor identification technology.
