Haier Biomedical Unveils Comprehensive Blood Management Solutions at ISBT 2026
Haier Biomedical's Breakthrough at ISBT 2026
On July 21, 2026, Haier Biomedical marked a significant milestone in the field of blood management during its participation in the ISBT 2026 congress held in Kuala Lumpur. The company showcased its advanced blood management solutions as it transitions from being a mere supplier of equipment to a comprehensive service partner, emphasizing its commitment to innovation and transformation in the transfusion sector.
Haier's display of its integrated suite of blood products and workflow management solutions indicated its strategic pivot towards intelligent blood safety and management systems, ultimately aiming to enhance operational efficiency across hospitals, plasma collection centers, and blood banks worldwide.
A Paradigm Shift in Blood Management
The company's presentation illustrated a holistic blood management solution that covers the entire workflow—starting from blood collection and processing to low-temperature storage, intelligent transport, and clinical application. The shift from traditional practices underscores the vital necessity for modernization in blood management to improve safety and efficiency.
Central to this transformation are Haier's flagship products, including a European MDR compliant plasma apheresis system, an automated blood component separator, a direct contact freezer for plasma, and an advanced blood management refrigerator. These innovations are tailored to support the rigorous demands of plasma collection centers, hospitals, and blood banks, further contributing to the high-quality development of the regional plasma industry.
Daniele Pericolini, an automation solutions specialist, highlighted the successful deployment of Haier Biomedical's R-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerator at Ferrara’s New Arcispedale Sant’Anna Hospital. This facility transitioned from traditional paper records and manual tracking systems to a fully automated blood management solution featuring advanced RFID technology. The enhanced digitalization allows healthcare professionals to locate blood bags instantly, place requests directly from patient bedsides, and conduct electronic compatibility testing, significantly reducing turnaround time to under a minute.
Enhancing Efficiency and Safety
The state-of-the-art refrigerator system, equipped with secure drawers, ozone sterilization, automatic inventory management, and alarm systems, ensures comprehensive traceability and eliminates errors, thereby minimizing waste and streamlining the workload for medical staff. Notably, Haier Biomedical stands out as the only provider capable of offering RFID labels with customized integration, which bolsters the overall efficiency of blood management operations.
Zhou Weidong, product leader at Blood Chain, also showcased deployments at HemoRio blood bank in Brazil and Asia Pacific Medical Center in the Philippines. Both implementations utilized Haier's smart refrigerator technology to ensure complete digital tracking from day one, all without requiring additional software—demonstrating the seamless integration of Haier's solutions into existing infrastructures.
A Future-Forward Approach to Transfusion Practices
Beyond the seminar, Haier Biomedical presented a comprehensive ecosystem of products that encompass the full value chain in blood management and highlighted its extensive range of services tailored to various scenarios within the blood industry. The company’s digital blood management solution, which leverages advanced AI, automation, and IoT technology, guarantees real-time tracking and complete traceability throughout the blood management process—from collection and processing to storage and clinical use.
This solution enhances the ecosystem of applications across all segments of the transfusion industry and facilitates a shift from traditional centralized blood management to decentralized, digitally connected workflows.
