A 5th generation blood bank is where all the blood products are screened for infections using cross-matching tests. This ensures that the patient who needs a blood transfusion or transplant receives the right type of blood. Cross-matching is used to make sure that the donor blood does not react with a patient’s blood. It also helps prevent harmful interactions between your blood and donor blood.
Blood typing and cross-matching is performed by a trained healthcare practitioner, highly experienced in this field who guide in selecting the right blood product for a patient. Ozone Hospitals’ 5th generation blood bank uses a BIOVIEW Gel method for tracing and matching minor incompatibilities; the SDPs (Single Donor Platelets) available are useful while diagnosing Dengue and while performing certain cardiology procedures.
