The first step in the collection process is labeling of all containers, tubes, and related materials. This is an extremely important step because it relates all tubes, specimens, documents, and components to the identity of the donor. Virtually all blood banks use bar‐coded labels that are intended to meet international industry standards for labeling (ISBT 128) consistent with FDA and AABB requirements [46]. Related tracking of specimens, test results, and individual components can be managed by computers using these labels. Computer systems are generally used to accumulate all data relevant to the individual donation to determine whether the components are suitable for transfusion and can be released into usable inventory. Thus, there are detailed and specific steps in the process at the donor bedside to ensure the accuracy of all labels.
