Utilizing an integrated modular configuration, ElDorado Donor is intended to offer functionality with flexibility to tailor features within the system to a facility's specific needs and to support process control from collection to distribution. The software is designed for ease-of-use and includes drop down lists and easy access find forms.

These safety checks are to be performed throughout the system as part of the normal processing of donors, blood components, and other blood products. ElDorado Donor is to provide extensive manufacturing controls that can be tailored for a specific site depending on its processes. The blood management software has been designed with guidance from Wyndgate's technology workgroup, comprised of leading industry representatives from around the world.
