Frequently Asked Questions
What blood products does OnWay transport?
OnWay transports whole blood, packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelets, cryoprecipitate, and other blood components. All blood product transport follows validated temperature protocols and strict chain of custody documentation.
What temperature is maintained during blood and platelet transport?
Whole blood and packed red cells are transported at 1–6°C in validated coolers. Platelets require 20–24°C with continuous gentle agitation to maintain viability. Fresh frozen plasma is transported on dry ice at -18°C or below. OnWay uses product-specific validated containers for each blood component.
How do you handle the 5 to 7 day platelet shelf life?
Platelet viability is our highest priority. We dispatch immediately upon order, use the shortest routing available, and provide real-time tracking so blood bank staff can confirm arrival. Our STAT response times are designed specifically around platelet shelf-life constraints.
Are your couriers trained in blood banking protocols?
Yes. OnWay couriers handling blood products receive specialized training in blood banking protocols, including product-specific temperature requirements, container validation, chain of custody documentation, and emergency handling procedures.
Do you offer emergency and STAT blood delivery?
Yes. OnWay provides 24/7/365 STAT blood courier service for emergency transfusions, trauma cases, surgical emergencies, and critical care situations. Couriers are dispatched immediately with priority routing.
What documentation is provided for blood product deliveries?
Every blood product delivery includes electronic chain of custody records, temperature logs from pickup to delivery, time-stamped proof of delivery, and courier identification. All documentation meets AABB and FDA requirements for blood product transport.
