The healthcare sector in the UAE depends heavily on precision, traceability, and data-driven decision-making. The idea of manual management of blood inventory is impractical for a hospital or laboratory that receives hundreds of samples every day. Panacea is an advanced Blood Bank Software from Zaavia, offering a complete digital infrastructure to manage blood supply in a safer and fully compliant manner.
Panacea has been designed to cater to the increasing needs of transfusion services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other Emirates with a safe and intelligent system for donor management, component processing, transfusion tracking, and quality control.
A Complete Solution for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services in UAE
Panacea automates each and every activity that is performed within the blood bank, from the registration of donors to the collection, testing, labeling, storage, and issue of blood. Each and every activity is tracked electronically, creating a digital audit trail to enable compliance with international standards such as ISBT 128 , HL7, and AABB.
The system ensures that every unit of blood, plasma, or platelet is correctly labeled, verified, and traceable throughout its life cycle. With RBAC, only authorized staff can access donor history, test results, and inventory, reducing manual errors and improving turnaround time.

Produce, label, and store components using ISBT 128-compliant barcodes for accurate tracking and identification.
Inventory and Storage Control
Real-time tracking of available units, expiry management, and automated alerts for critical levels or soon-to-expire stock.
Testing and Analyzer Integration
Seamlessly connect with TTI, serology, and hematology analyzers for direct data transfer.
Electronic Crossmatching
Match donor and recipient records electronically, minimizing risks associated with manual verification.
Issue and Return Management
Record issued units, returns, and outcomes, log timestamps and users, and handle restock, discard, or quarantine based on eligibility rules.
Quality Assurance and QC Module
comprehensive coverage from reagent QC and control QC to equipment QC and product/component QC, including non-conformance creation and workup, corrective actions, and trend reporting.
Multi-User Access and Security Control
Multi-user access and security control - role-based access control (RBAC) to define permissions, maintain accountability, and protect data integrity.
Cloud or On-Premise Deployment
Flexible installation based on institutional requirements and IT infrastructure.
Inventory reconciliation
Compare physical stock with system counts, log variances with reasons, raise timely alerts, and maintain a full audit trail.
Look-back and traceability
When a donor tests positive for any TTI in the current donation, the system checks prior donations within the defined window (e.g., last 12 months), identifies related components and recipients, and generates a look-back list with tasks and flags.
Transfusion reaction reporting and workup
Capture reactions, trigger workup workflows, document outcomes, and generate regulator-ready reports.
<br />Admin reports and KPIs
70+ admin and KPI reports with configurable filters that log every action for audit readiness

Designed for Accuracy, Compliance, and Speed
Panacea’s rule-based validation engine acts as an extra layer of safety. It identifies inconsistencies and potential violations in real time, preventing any incorrect data or mismatched samples from proceeding.
Every action is tracked and traceable, which makes internal audits easier to perform and supports regulatory inspections. This level of transparency not only improves safety but also enhances staff confidence in daily operations.
Further, healthcare facilities in the UAE continue to invest in digital systems that improve quality and patient safety. Panacea fits seamlessly into this vision by delivering a solution that is reliable, intuitive, and built for the region's healthcare standards.

Integration with Hospital Systems
Panacea is fully compatible with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) . Data exchange through HL7 integration ensures that blood bank records are always in sync with patient data across the departments.
This eliminates duplication, improves the accuracy of data, and puts critical transfusion information immediately at the fingertips of physicians. Every step from sample collection to issuance becomes interconnected within a single digital environment.
The software also supports analyzer integration that enables laboratories to import the results of tests directly from instruments, hence saving time and minimizing transcription errors.
