Normal order
The term "normal order" refers to the ordering from Belgian Red Cross-Flanders (RKV) of standard blood products to systematically replenish the blood products stock in the hospital blood bank. The hospital makes the normal order using RKV's web-based informatics application, ROOS (Red Cross Online Ordering System), and the ordered blood products are delivered to the hospital using the 'Normal Delivery' procedure.
The agreement of RKV with the hospital regarding the supply of blood products provides that for one or more of the standard blood products an 'agreed stock' is established in the hospital blood bank, corresponding to the 'ideal' number of units available in the hospital blood bank for a given blood product type after supply by RKV. In addition, the same agreement refers to an advice from RKV that, for those blood products for which an agreed stock has been established, the hospital uses the attainment of a minimum lower limit for the number of units in stock of one type of product or blood group as an alert signal to place a normal order with RKV by means of ROOS to replenish the hospital blood bank stock for all products in stock.
The 'ideal number' and 'minimum number' parameters per blood product type agreed between RKV and hospital are recorded in the ROOS application. The procedure 'Change of hospital blood stock parameters in ROOS' describes the way both parameters are recorded and maintained by RKV in consultation with the person responsible at the hospital blood bank.
Ordering Procedure
De ROOS handleiding beschrijft hoe de normale bestelling van erytrocytenconcentraten, PRPL of van bloedplaatjesconcentraten moet verricht worden om zodoende conform de procedure voor normale levering te kunnen afgeleverd worden in de ziekenhuisbloedbank in naam van en voor rekening van RKV.
Bestraalde erytrocytenconcentraten en uitgebreid gefenotypeerde erytrocytenconcentraten ressorteren eveneens onder de producten die d.m.v. de normale bestelling procedure d.m.v. ROOS kunnen aangevraagd worden.
De noodprocedure voor bestellen bij uitval van ROOS vindt u in de ROOS handleiding.
PRPL en erytrocytenconcentraten moeten voor uiterlijk 9u d.m.v. ROOS worden besteld om nog dezelfde dag aflevering d.m.v. de procedure voor normale levering mogelijk te maken.
Om onnodig gefragmenteerde, en daardoor inefficiënte, transporten te vermijden vraagt de ROOS applicatie om bij normale bestelling van VPVIM steeds minstens 6 eenheden, of een veelvoud van 6 eenheden, te bestellen.
For platelet concentrates, the latest order time is 11am and will be delivered the same day in the afternoon to the extent available through the normal delivery procedure.
