title: Automated blood grouping of patients and blood donors using Groupamatic 360 S and a separate mini-computer. System description and evaluation.
abstract: An automated blood-grouping system for all kinds of blood samples is described. The system is built upon Groupamatic 360 S and a separate mini-computer. Both the laboratory and the clerical work is automated. Blood group replies are given on coloured punch cards in the Scandinavian blood group colours. Lists of different groups of samples can be compiled. After 1 year of routine use, the refusal rate is about 5%. The system is reliable and rapid, and permits saving, both of manpower and reagents.
