It is important for the blood donation to know the appropriate blood group, since each blood group has specific properties and compatibilities. Around 15,000 blood donations are needed in Germany every day, and the right blood group compatibility is crucial for the safety of blood transfusions. According to BlueSpende.de , inappropriate transfusions can lead to life-threatening complications, which is why a subscription identity test is carried out before transfusions.
