Centralised blood transfusion management at national level

Human blood, a scarce resource, plays an important role in the treatment of more than one million patients in France every year, thanks to the efforts of 1.7 million donors. Human blood is used to produce two categories of therapeutic products: labile blood products (LBS) and blood-derived medicinal products (BDM).

In France, the blood authority is the EFS (Etablissement Français du Sang). To carry out its tasks, the EFS relies on a single IT solution that manages every stage of the chain, from collection to donation qualification (analysis of blood components), storage and distribution of blood.

This unique IT solution, EdgeBlood, designed and developed by Inlog engineers over thirty years ago, guarantees haemovigilance and traceability of blood tubes and bags at every key stage of the transfusion chain, from donor to patient. It is backed by a powerful offering for the management of transfusion and blood products in healthcare facilities.

EdgeBlood is a vein-to-vein tracking software solution based on an innovative IT data management system to manage the entire blood transfusion cycle.

Transfusion Security, Traceability and Ergonomics

Blood transfusion demands the highest levels of operational security for IT data systems. EdgeBlood has been helping users meet their security requirements since 1992.

Numerous controls and alerts are included in the standard system and can be configured according to the user’s needs.

All operations performed in the applications are traceable and easily accessible by the centre’s staff. EdgeBlood has achieved a high level of ergonomics that has evolved over the years.
