Overview
What is blood bank management software?
Blood bank management software keeps an accurate, up-to-date picture of blood stock: what was donated, which components are available in which blood group, what has expired and what was issued to whom.
Because blood components expire on very different timelines, stock kept by hand quickly drifts from what is actually usable. Swastik HMS works stock out from donations and issues, and removes expired units automatically.

Features
Blood bank management features
Donations, stock and issues in one module.
Blood Bank
Every bag is tracked from donation to issue. Component stock is worked out from what has been donated and issued, and expired units drop out of stock on their own.
Donation records
Blood group, bag number, segment number, bag type and voluntary donation camp.
Component stock
Stock by blood group and component, starting from an opening balance.
Automatic expiry
Whole blood expires after 30 days, PRBC after 35, platelets after 7 and FFP after 365.
Blood issue
Issues recorded with patient, bag, blood group, component, organisation and issue type.
How it works
From donation to issue
-
Donation
Donor details, blood group, bag, segment, bag type and camp recorded.
-
Components in stock
Stock updates by blood group and component.
-
Automatic expiry
Units drop out of stock when their component expires.
-
Issue
Blood issued with patient, bag, component, organisation and issue type.
-
Registers
Donation, issue and stock registers ready to print.
Expiry periods by component
| Component | Expiry in Swastik HMS |
|---|---|
| Platelets | 7 days |
| Whole blood | 30 days |
| PRBC (packed red blood cells) | 35 days |
| FFP (fresh frozen plasma) | 365 days |
Stock is calculated from donations and issues, and units past their component expiry are excluded automatically.
Voluntary donation camps
Donations can be recorded with the voluntary donation camp they came from, so the blood bank can see how much stock each camp contributed.
What’s in the standard blood bank module
The standard module covers donations, component stock, automatic expiry and issues. Donor screening results, cross-match records and integration with national blood bank portals are not part of the standard module; they can be added through custom development.
