title: [Blood transfusion and quality assurance].
abstract: Administrating safe blood products and being able to produce the evidence of procedures correctly employed, is today vital for healthcare professionals. Industrial quality assurance is an appropriate answer to this problem. Indeed, this approach allows the mastering of a processing system thanks to the combination of three elements: a detailed description of processes, control mechanisms and corrective measures. It relies on an information system and must be applied to all steps of blood transfusion.
