biggest challenge that could face a scientist in Blood Bank is: The breakdown of the Blood fridges and blood freezers, specially during a long weekend or during the overnight shifts.

Our two blood bank fridges went down in the same time during a Long weekend which put our team and our manager under a lots of pressure to replace them.

Our staff packed the red pack cells in red cross boxes, following packing configuration procedures, they sent most of blood products (red cells) to Liverpool Blood Bank and only kept minimum amount of pack cells in boxes for urgent transfusions.Our manager has been informed about the issue, He acted in really short time to solve the problem.

He contacted the fridge supplier (Sharp)which they informed him they able to supply us with two new fridges but due to Public holiday, they don’t have any trucks or couriers. Our manager end up going to Sharp supplier on Saturday morning to help him empty his own ute and went to pick up the two fridges from their warehouse and install them in the lab.

The other issue that we faced was the breakdown of our Blood Bank freezer. It happens overnight due to faulty electricity circuit. All the frozen blood products moved to a spare small freezer available at our lab. Our manager and hospital after hours manager install a new electrical connection which solved the problem after few hours of hard work.
