⚡️ Efficient workflows, enhanced safety, and minimal waste. Let's get to know our Giotto Monza a bit better—one of the most advanced automatic blood extraction systems on the market 🩸 Check out this post to discover some of its key features, and don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more!

🩸 Donating whole blood isn’t the only way to make a life-saving difference. Individual blood components, like platelets, are critical to patient care. Maintaining a robust supply of platelets—without relying solely on whole blood donations—is pivotal for transfusion networks and delivering vital resources quickly to those in need. Despite its importance, platelet donation is less widely known, so keeping frequent donors engaged is vital. That’s where advanced digital tools for donor engagement become invaluable. Stay tuned to learn how our OpenChair platform—already trusted by multiple blood centers across the US—can effectively support donor engagement efforts, leveraging AI 📲

The AABB conference in Houston was a blast! 🚀 Over the past four days, we had the incredible opportunity to meet and connect with many of the industry's key players. We shared our vision for the immense technological transformation opportunities within the blood sector, especially during such a critical time for global (and US) blood reserves. We also introduced some of our cutting-edge technological solutions and highlighted a few of the most promising results we're achieving with our American partners. Stay tuned for more on that! 📻 As our CEO Barbara Sala noted, “A major theme we heard was the need to increase platelet availability, and we’re fully committed to supporting this through our OpenChair AI-powered donor recruitment and marketing platform, which is designed to help blood centers more effectively recruit platelet donors.” “We also explored some of the evolving needs in the biotherapy space and are eager to contribute there as well. Our innovation team is already hard at work on this front.” A huge thanks to our team on the ground and to our ever-supportive partners in the US: Amanda Farrell, José Fragoso, Rafał Borowski, Robert Giulitto, and Allyson Young 🙏 #AABB24

We’ve been teasing it over the past few weeks, and now we can finally share the news: starting tomorrow at the AABB Conference in Houston, our US partners will get hands-on experience with one of our most advanced devices ⚙️🩸 Giotto Monza is one of the most technologically advanced blood processing devices in the world. It's an automatic extractor designed to standardize blood component production with efficient workflows, enhanced safety, and minimal waste. We'll tell you much more about it soon. This technology is the result of extensive research and the meticulous care in production and assembly by our team in Italy, as shown in this video 🎞️👇 We’re unveiling Giotto Monza in the US for the first time at the #AABB24 Conference in Houston, running from tomorrow until Tuesday. Come visit us and get a chance to check out all of our devices at booth 457!

We're only a few days away from the AABB Conference in Houston! 🚀 This will be a great opportunity for you to get hands-on experience with some of our most advanced devices designed to optimize blood collection operations. Both the Milano scale and Roma sealer feature sleek lines inspired by Italian design, but what really drives our prototyping process is our commitment to providing the best user experience for healthcare professionals. Milano and Roma share at least two key features: 💼 Ergonomics From the comfortable grip of Roma to the upward-facing display of the Milano scale, both devices are designed with ease of use in mind. 🔋 Portability and mobility Milano and Roma are engineered for maximum convenience in fast-paced environments. No need for cables or charging outlets. Milano can handle 100 donations on a single charge, and the battery swaps out in seconds. Roma recharges every time it’s placed in its base. Come check them out, along with many other new innovations, at our booth #457 at #AABB24 from October 19-22!

Exciting news! 🎉 We’re thrilled to announce, in collaboration with Healthcare-ID, Inc., the successful integration of Donor-ID—a system that automates donor eligibility checks and data entry at collection sites—with our Milano whole blood mixer, a smart scale that enhances the safety and efficiency of blood collection by digitizing workflows and data tracking. This integration between Donor-ID and the Milano scale is designed to streamline data sharing across devices and systems, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the donor collection process. By supporting a fully paperless workflow, it eliminates the need for manual documentation, significantly enhancing data quality. 💬 As our CEO, Barbara Sala, shares: “Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for blood centers to use data to streamline operations and build stronger, more positive relationships with their donors. Collaborating with major organizations like Healthcare-ID is key to ensuring our technology brings real benefits to the work of operators” Check out the article on AP News in the comments to hear more from Healthcare-ID's VPs, Steve and Bryan Sadorf(📸) 👇

The Big Ten Conference, in partnership with Abbott, has organized what might be the most significant college competition ever held. To address the severe blood supply shortage in the United States—a need that becomes even more critical during times of crisis like these—"The We Give Blood Drive" offers a $1 million prize to advance student and community health to the college that collects the most donations. The winning school will be announced at the 2024 Big Ten Football Championship Game on December 7, 2024. As of today, University of Nebraska-Lincoln is leading the competition, followed by Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University.

Can you guess the device from a single frame? 🎞️ This game is usually played with a movie still, where you guess the title. But today, we’re giving you a sneak peek from a video (coming soon) that shows our team working hard in our factory in Italy to assemble one of our most advanced and complex devices. Think you know what it is? Drop your guess in the comments! If not, stay tuned—or better yet, visit us in person at the AABB event in Houston, October 19-22 (booth 457), and find out for yourself 👀 #AABB24

🩸 Donating blood is one of the most important acts of care and altruism we can offer to those in need. But did you know that more than a quarter of the US blood supply supports cancer patients? Each year, over 1.9 million people are diagnosed with cancer, and many will need blood transfusions during treatment. This could be due to anemia, thrombocytopenia, or blood loss from surgery, often caused by the disease or treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. About 46% of platelet transfusions go to patients with cancers such as leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma. Your donation plays a vital role. If you have time for just one read today, check out this comprehensive article from the American Cancer Society on the critical importance of transfusions for cancer patients 👇

If you're looking for a practical, safe, and reliable tube sealer for your blood center’s lab operations, look no further 👇 The HemoWeld Slim blends the sleek, modern design of our portable Roma sealer with the practicality and stability essential for laboratory work. Sealing is automatic when the tube is inserted, but it can also be manually controlled with a foot switch. As with all our sealers, the sealing area is protected, ensuring safe operation without the need for additional barriers. Had you already seen the Slim in action?
