Incoming Shipment CR 3325 INC 862204 Special testing information was not saved when the first save was canceled in the confirmation window, new special testing information was entered and unit record saved. A user can click NO to the confirmation message, enter special testing information and save the unit record as displayed at the re-attempt to save the data. Appendix A, Test Scenario Group Four Incoming Shipment KDA CR 2809 A system error occurs when using the restrict to a patient search field and only 5 to 8 characters of the patient’s SSN are entered to initiate the search for the patient. The system error no longer appears. None Provided. Incoming Shipment KDA CR 1721 When the user holds the mouse the disabled OK button; VBECS displays the tool tip associated with the OK, instead of the tool tip that prevents the activation. The correct tool tip displays. None Provided. Incoming Shipment CR 3160 When entering a response of “YES” to the message that you are attempting to re-enter a unit, a pop up appears “System Error: Unit already exists in the division.” Click OK and the expected message about “Are you sure you want to add this unit?” displays and allows the user to proceed normally. The use of the term “system error” in the message header does not impede the re-entry of the same blood unit. None Provided. Issue Blood Component CR 3283 A type specific unit may be issued a database conversion blood type record when the patient antibody screen is complete. Only ABO Group O units may be issued per emergency issue rules when the current specimen’s ABO/Rh is not complete and the antibody screen test is complete. None Provided.
Issue Blood Component KDA CR 2085 Missing a between the sentences: “This unit had a crossmatch result of incompatible or the crossmatch was not completed. This unit cannot be issued.” This message did not and does not appear in the updated application. A unit with an incompatible crossmatch is not available for selection in this option. None Provided Blood Component KDA CR 2011 When the patient’s ABO/Rh was performed in a Transfusion Only (TO) division, the ABO/Rh was not properly read by a Full Service division at issue. Override requirement is no longer displayed in Full Service division for patient whose previous ABO/Rh was performed in Transfusion Only division. None Provided. Blood Component CR 3471 INC 1024778 When a user has a unit selected for and another user selects and attempts to release the same blood unit from assignment; the unit records are unavailable for further processing. The “lock” on the unit’s record no longer allows selection of the same unit at the same time in Issue Blood Component and Release Unit from Patient Assignment. None Provided. Maintain Specimen KDA CR 875 A VBECS system error occurs when a user allows two consecutive system timeouts. No system error occurs after system timeouts, single or multiple. None Provided. Modify Units (not Pool or Split) KDA CR 1920 When a user enters a outside the allowable range in the Target Unit Volume field; VBECS accepts the entry but disables the OK button. Target Unit Volume value returns to an acceptable value at the upper or lower end prior to saving. None Provided. Modify Units (not Pool or Split) KDA CR 1921 The Volume Reduce Unit form contains fields for discarded plasma volume and original unit volume. When either field contains data entry errors, the OK button is enabled, which allows the user to save the form. The OK button enables as expected. None Provided. Modify Units (not Pool or Split) KDA CR 1924 The Volume Reduce Unit form contains fields for discarded plasma volume and original unit volume. When either field contains data entry errors, the OK button is enabled, which allows the user to save the form. The discarded plasma volume and original unit volume values return to an acceptable value at the upper or lower end prior to saving. None Provided.
Modify Units (not Pool or Split) KDA CR 1698 VBECS truncates the product name. The short name of the product displays in full. The full product name is available for display when the unit is selected and the user hovers over the name to view the tool tip. None Provided. This is unchanged system behavior. Modify Pool Units KDA CR 2387 VBECS allows a user to add a unit to a pool and transfer assignment to the pooled unit when both units are already assigned to the same patient. This creates a unit with dual assignment and the unit cannot be issued. Dual assignment is not created and the unit is available for Issue Blood Component. None Provided. Modify Units: Pool Units KDA CR 2650 When a user chooses to add or remove units from a pooled unit, the patient assignment is duplicated on the pool. Leading to additional complications: Users are also prevented from selecting additional units for a patient that has a duplicate assignment until the duplicate is removed. A VBECS system error occurs when a user attempts to issue this unit with duplicate assignment. Dual assignment is not created and the unit is available for Issue Blood Component. No system error occurs. None Provided. Modify Units: Split a Unit KDA CR 3248 The system does not split modification for product types E065 = Washed Thawed Apheresis PLATELETS and E067 = Reconstituted FRESH FROZEN PLASMA The system does not allow any modifications on these product types. This is not an anomaly. None Provided. Patient Testing, ABO/Rh Test CR 3277 DR 4592 Appendix B: Patient ABO/Rh Test System Response only rows incorrectly allowed invalid test result and interpretation patterns to be saved for patient with a processed override.
