We are intending to supply group O red cells and A FFP to the lab of a private provider to cover specific patient blood loss events only, and there is no testing of the patient sample involved, do I need to record this on the annual BCR?

For traceability purposes, would it be acceptable for us to document the units on our LIMS as being transferred to hospital X only , and the responsibility of hospital X to record final fating of the unit ?

As there is no testing of samples involved, can I assume that there would be no need for hospital X to record this arrangement on the BCR under section S – Work contracted to third parties?

Thank you.
