Blood Banks & Tissue Transport
Blood products have a shelf life measured in hours. OnWay's specialized blood bank logistics team delivers whole blood, platelets, plasma, and tissue allografts with AABB-compliant chain of custody and 24/7 emergency STAT capability — because there is no acceptable failure rate.
Courier Services
Emergency STAT Blood Delivery
On-call dispatch for trauma-level blood emergencies. A driver is mobilized within minutes, with live GPS tracking visible to the receiving facility the moment the order is placed.
Routine Blood Product Replenishment
Scheduled daily routes restocking hospital blood banks with whole blood, packed red cells, platelets, and FFP from regional blood center facilities.
Platelet & Plasma Transport
Specialized handling for short-shelf-life components. Platelets are transported at controlled room temperature with continuous agitation-capable carriers. Plasma at validated frozen temperatures.
Tissue Allograft Logistics
Compliant transport of tissue allografts, skin grafts, and bone products between tissue banks and surgical facilities with AATB-recognized documentation.
AABB-Compliant Chain of Custody
Every unit is scanned at pickup and delivery with electronic proof of transfer. Our documentation meets AABB, FACT, and hospital transfusion service audit requirements.
Multi-Hospital Network Coverage
OnWay can coordinate blood product sharing between hospitals in a regional network — facilitating inter-hospital transfers when one facility has surplus and another has a shortage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OnWay trained to transport blood and blood products?
Yes. All couriers assigned to blood bank clients complete specialized training in blood product handling, temperature management, and AABB chain of custody documentation before their first run.
How fast can OnWay respond to a trauma-level blood emergency?
OnWay STAT dispatch can have a driver mobilized within minutes of a confirmed order. Our 24/7 operations center is staffed at all times, and the receiving facility receives live GPS tracking from the moment the driver departs.
What temperature controls are used for platelet transport?
Platelets are transported at controlled room temperature (20–24°C) using validated carriers. OnWay does not use cooling elements for platelet shipments, and drivers are trained to avoid exposing units to heat or cold extremes during transit.
Can OnWay transport tissue allografts and bone products?
Yes. OnWay transports musculoskeletal tissue, skin allografts, and other biologics between AATB-accredited tissue banks and hospital or surgical center recipients, with compliant chain of custody documentation included.
Does OnWay provide documentation suitable for transfusion service audits?
Yes. Our electronic chain of custody records include timestamped GPS data, driver identity, electronic signatures from both sender and receiver, and temperature log attachments — meeting AABB and hospital transfusion service inspection requirements.
Can OnWay facilitate inter-hospital blood product sharing?
Yes. OnWay can act as the logistics layer for regional blood sharing networks — facilitating transfers between hospitals experiencing shortages and those with available inventory, with all appropriate documentation.
