Jan. 11, 2005: Control System Helps Ensure Safe Blood Supply
DALLAS - Hema-Quebec, a leading Canadian blood processor, announced that it has installed new facility management systems at its headquarters, laboratories, and donor centers in Montreal and Quebec City to help ensure facility-wide accountability and traceability of the environmental conditions in the labs and donor centers.
The company selected the Continuum® Facility Management System with CFR Compliance Pack™ from Tour Andover Controls. The Tour Andover system, installed by ACS Montreal, plays a critical role in verifying that Hema-Quebec complies with both Canadian and United States regulations regarding the collection, screening, preparation, and delivery of blood components, says the company. The CFR Compliance Pack is an option to the Continuum system that allows Hema-Quebec to generate electronic records of environmental conditions at each facility 24 hours a day.
