Blood is central to life. And since blood cannot be manufactured or produced, donors are fully relied upon to supply and sustain blood reserves. But once blood is acquired, how is it stored? This core question is being re-examined in the medical world as questions surface surrounding the safety and preservation ability of blood storage equipment. Blood storage certainly deserves a closer look.
Opening a new medical facility on-time is always challenging. An MCD (Medical Construction & Design) survey in 2018 said that less than 50% of all projects open on time. If we did that poll today, it would even be less, given all the supply chain delays. One common problem when opening any healthcare facility is completing all the biomedical asset-tagging and ESIs (Electrical Safety Inspections) required in a timely fashion. These biomedical check-ins cannot happen until items are delivered and installed in rooms, which is typically near the end of the project. New healthcare facilities have anywhere from 1,000-4,000 pieces of new equipment that require biomedical attention.
