Infection-free surgeries with Stryker’s Flyte Personal Protection System: Makati Med

Surgical site infection is a real concern even in sterile hospital settings.

Immucor: USE Training

In March 2016 we went to Stamford, Connecticut, USA for software and application training on the Immucor transplant products.

Immucor is a US based company which specializes in transfusion- and transplant-related diagnostic products, with branches in Europe and South America and a vast distributor network in Asia.

The focus of our training was the LIFECODES group of products. We spent a lot of time in the lab, running the actual assays and learning the analyser software. The other part of our training included performing results analysis using the LIFECODES proprietary software.
