The normal notification circuit begins when an adverse effect is detected. By means of a specific form, this is notified to the Haemovigilance Coordinator at the Banc de Sang i Teixits. Once the information supplied has been analysed, the Coordinator is responsible for including it in the Haemovigilance Register of Catalonia (OCATT).
There is also a rapid-alert circuit for situations that require urgent notification. The person to contact on these occasions is the BST Haemovigilance Coordinator or, in their absence, the doctor on duty. As well as telephone communication, a form is also filled in with details of the problem observed.
The information sent from each autonomous community is centralised at the State Haemovigilance Unit of the Ministry of Health in Madrid, and from there it is reported to the headquarters of European haemovigilance, currently represented by the European Haemovigilance Network.
