Patient Notification System

URGENT REGISTER NOW!!

An industry wide product recall information system, called the Patient Notification System has been launched to inform people when a blood product is being withdrawn or recalled.  The Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation is urging everyone to register with the Patient Notification System so they can be directly notified of problems with a blood product.

The Patient Notification System is being administered by the National Notification Center. This center is restricted from revealing the identity of anyone who is registered. 

Each person who registers with the Patient Notification System can select how they wish to be notified (whether by telephone, fax, or e-mail). All participants will receive a follow-up first-class letter to ensure the receipt of this valuable information. Additionally, a person who registers can select which products they wish to be notified about.

There is another component to the system. Participants can also call for information at 1-888-UPDATE-U or check the system web site http://www.patientnotificationsystem.org.

It is easy to register with the system simply by calling:   
1-888-873-2838 (1-888-UPDATE-U)
