New device aims to prevent blood type Mix-Ups at bedside
NCT ID NCT04344613
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 However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

- Active substance
- ABODpoct device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this device could help prevent dangerous mismatched blood transfusions by giving a quick, clear 'go' or 'no-go' result at the bedside.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data were collected. The device is still in early development and may not prove reliable in real-world use.
