First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study was designed to test a new device that checks a patient's blood type and the blood bag's type at the bedside before a transfusion. The goal was to prevent dangerous mismatched transfusions by giving a simple 'go' or 'no-go' result in about two minutes. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
