MaxPlus Thermal Control Transport Systems

For fast-paced hospitals, getting blood product where it’s going within the proper temperature range is critical. Any excursion can lead to blood waste – not only having a negative impact on a hospital’s bottom line, but also on today’s historically low blood supplies.

Purpose-built for hospital needs

Styrofoam or hard plastic recreational coolers have typically been used to move blood product throughout the hospital. The problem is these coolers were not made to store blood, and the result is costly inefficiencies with no standard procedures for packing blood and inconsistent validation processes that could also compromise patient safety and regulatory compliance. 

Holding blood bags in a hospital

MaxQ has changed all that with its MaxPlus Thermal Control Transport Systems including AABB Standards-Compliant solutions like MaxQ MTP 3.0 and Optimized for packed red cells, whole blood and platelets – MaxPlus coolers and shippers are designed specifically for all blood-related transport including in-hospital, STAT issue, transfusion deliveries, hematology specimens and more.
