University of Saarland Clinic Blood Center collects 30,000 whole

25 workstations in the blood center and laboratory. Up to 50 remote
users will access the Web result server EdgeNet. Five analyzers
will be connected to EdgeLab, Inlog's Laboratory Information
System. "After detailed market research, the University Medical
Center of Saarland has decided to install the LIS EdgeBlood/EdgeLab
from the company, GLI. This decision was made because, among other
reasons, the system can completely control the management of all
essential services in transfusion medicine. Moreover, the software
is already in use in the National German Red Cross Blood Donation
Services. It has also been used successfully in comparable
university facilities for many years. In view of the connection
between pharmaceutical and clinical aspects of transfusion
medicine, EdgeBlood and EdgeLab will create a center of excellence
for the University Medical Center of Saarland," stated Prof. Dr.
med. Hermann Eichler of the Institute of Clinical Hemostaseology
and Transfusion Medicine Homburg/University Medical Center of
Saarland. EdgeBlood, known as "CTS Serveur" in the French market,

drawn in Germany as well as processing significant parts of the
Austrian and Swiss blood supplies. EdgeBlood is also used in Greece
as well as five African countries. EdgeBlood has an easy-to-use
Windows graphical user interface and contains all major
functionality needed by a blood center from donor recruitment
through product distribution. Since EdgeLab was introduced into the

the business needs of large, diverse, multi-site hospital
