Description
The Demo Dose® Simulated Blood Platelets - O Rh Positive (PN01021) is a simulated blood product used for medical and nursing education. It is not real platelets and is for instructional use only.
Key Features
Simulated Blood Product: The product is a training aid that mimics a bag of blood platelets. It is filled with a light-yellow or cloudy-colored liquid to realistically simulate the appearance of real platelets.
Blood Type: The bag is labeled with the blood type O Rh Positive. This is a specific and important detail for training scenarios involving blood product transfusions.
Realistic Labeling: The bag features realistic, bar-coded labels and patient identification stickers, which is crucial for training in the proper procedures for patient and blood product identification before a transfusion.
Compatibility: The bag is designed to be "spiked" just like a real blood bag, allowing students to practice setting up a transfusion line.
Safety: The product is explicitly labeled for instructional use only and is not for human or animal use. It contains no actual blood or blood products, making it safe for use in a classroom or lab setting.
Educational Materials: The product often includes transfusion record materials and skills checklists, which allows for comprehensive training in documentation as well as administration.
Volume: The bag typically contains 250 mL of simulated fluid.
Uses
Blood Product Transfusion Training: The primary use is to teach students the proper procedures for platelet transfusion, including verifying the blood type, confirming patient identity, and setting up the IV line.
Clinical Documentation Practice: It is an essential tool for training students on how to correctly fill out a transfusion record and other relevant medical documentation.
Patient Safety Training: This product is crucial for teaching the importance of patient safety protocols and the "five rights" of blood product administration.
Simulation Scenarios: It is widely used in simulation labs to create realistic scenarios involving thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), bleeding disorders, or other conditions where platelets would be administered. The O Rh Positive type is particularly useful for teaching specific scenarios.
