Prolacta Bioscience employs a web version of Timeless laboratory information management system (Lims) to manage collection and distribution of donor breastmilk across the USA
Prolacta Bioscience, a privately held company dedicated to ensuring the availability and highest possible safety of breastmilk for babies, has chosen the Timeless laboratory information management system to manage the collection, tracking, testing, processing and distribution of donor breastmilk it receives from milk banks across the USA.
Prolacta will use the web version of Timeless Lims to allow milk banks in any location and on any platform to securely and easily manage donors and their contributions online.
The Timeless Lims is a Hipaa and FDA 510(k) compliant laboratory management system which utilises bar coding technologies for donor and specimen tracking ensuring the complete privacy and security of donor data.
"In our mission to achieve the highest possible safety of breastmilk for babies we required a Lims which not only provides our milk bank partners with a simple, secure method for managing their donors, but also a robust, regulatory compliant technical environment in which to manage our internal operations," said Elena Medo, CEO of Prolacta.
"Our implementation of the Timeless Lims ensures that our donors' efforts result in the efficient collection, thorough testing, pasteurisation, processing and rapid re-distribution of their donor milk to those babies who need it the most".
Timeless Lims is a comprehensive laboratory information management system for all laboratory disciplines.
The web version is an advanced browser based system that is completely platform independent, built using the latest scalable database foundation, incorporates customisable applications and APIs, supports multiple users in more than one geographic area with secure access to the data, and provides an intuitive and efficient workflow enabling fast and accurate turn around of results.
"Timeless Lims architecture is designed to allow ease of customisation to accommodate our clients' individual needs while ensuring the security, integrity and regulatory compliance of their healthcare data," stated Justin MacLeod, president of Timeless Medical Systems.
"Prolacta's implementation of Timeless Lims permits its milk bank partners and their staff to effectively and securely manage every step in the donor process from collection to distribution".
