3. A method for collecting and tracking blood components, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, biometric inputs at a workstation of a blood center to identify a donor;
accessing, by the one or more processors, based on the identifying, a scheduled appointment for the donor including an identification of a scheduled blood component to be collected from the donor;
accessing, by the one or more processors, a user profile of the donor;
determining, by the one or more processors, from the user profile, an eligibility for the donor based on unsuccessful donation attempts of the donor in past;
determining, by the one or more processors, based on a number of times the donor donated in the past, that the donor is eligible to donate again;
determining, in real-time by the one or more processors, that a need for desired blood components desired by the blood center is greater than that for the scheduled blood component;
determining, by the one or more processors, a device capability of a blood component collection machine in collecting the desired blood components during the scheduled appointment;
modifying, by the one or more processors, the scheduled appointment based on the determined eligibility, the determined need and the determined device capability;
transmitting, by the one or more processors, the modification for display at the workstation;
automatically beginning, by the one or more processors, the collecting of the desired blood components, using the blood component collection machine, upon selection of the desired blood components;
reading, by the one or more processors, using the blood component collection machine, an RFID chip at a time of the collecting of the desired blood components;
adding, by the one or more processors, based on the reading, the desired blood components to an electronic inventory log;
reading, by the one or more processors, using the blood component collection machine, the RFID chip when the desired blood components are removed from storage in the blood center to automatically update a status of the desired blood components in the electronic inventory log;
determining, by the one or more processors, using the electronic inventory log, respective ones of the desired blood components that have been quarantined or recalled;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a location of the respective ones of the desired blood components when the respective ones of the desired blood components have been quarantined or recalled; and
displaying, by the one or more processors, an alert using the electronic inventory log, when the respective ones of the desired blood components are quarantined or recalled.
