The TRM is a collection of referenced, “best practice” guidelines covering the most commonly used procedures in a hospital transfusion service. It complies with Canadian blood safety standards (CSA Z902-04 and CSTM Standards for Hospital Transfusion Services, v. 1) but has NOT been updated to comply with CSTM Standards, v. 2 (2007).

The TRM guidelines/SOPs are examples only and should not be used as a substitute for technical judgement. Medical and technical information becomes obsolete quickly and current sources relevant to the user's location should always be consulted.

The Technical Resource Manual, ed. 2 consists of 58 guidelines (~600 pages).
