SpotSee's Blood Bag Temperature Monitoring Products Earn AABB Certification

SpotSee, a global specialist in condition monitoring and sensing solutions, announced it has received the ‘Standards-Compliant’ accreditation from the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) for two of its products: the HemoTemp II Blood Bag Temperature Indicator and the HemoTemp II Activator.

The AABB is recognized worldwide as a symbol of authority and distinction. The organization is committed to its core objectives of providing high standards of safety for patients, donors and facilities. AABB member institutions displaying the AABB accreditation logo are recognized globally for providing quality products and services. 

This internationally recognized accreditation acknowledges that these two SpotSee products have thoroughly been reviewed and determined to meet AABB standards. It indicates high levels of quality in relation to equipment, process control and document control.

The HemoTemp II Blood Bag Temperature Indicator is a core-correlated combination irreversible blood temperature indicator and a reversible thermometer for blood during transit and storage outside the blood bank. The reversible portion of the HemoTemp II Blood Bag Temperature Indicator acts as a blood bag thermometer. Its irreversible portion warns a user when the core temperature of blood has exceeded approximately 6 to 10 C.

The HemoTemp II Activator is a block module heater designed to provide uniform temperature for accurate and reliable activation of the HemoTemp II’s sensor. 

“SpotSee sensors are carefully designed with quality in mind,” said Tony Fonk, president and CEO at SpotSee. “Earning this accreditation and seal of approval communicates to the public that our life science products are trustworthy, reliable and of the highest quality.”

The HemoTemp II Blood Bag Temperature Indicator is an FDA-approved medical device.

The display of an ‘AABB Standards-Compliant’ seal offers assurance to both vendors and customers that products for or geared toward the blood community are of the highest grade and comply to AABB standards.
