It might occur that to ascertain the compatibility between donor and recipient, or to confirm the suitability of the organ to transplant, specific lab tests will be needed, that could be carried on only in particular laboratories. These tests are usually very urgent.
It might also happen that hospitals could lack some specific lifesaving medication, thus requiring the urgent pickup from the producer or other hospital, where available.
Both these transport have the same characteristics.
Upon the reception of a request, specialized personnel is send, at once or on an agreed schedule, to the pickup location, with one or more suitable cars to comply with the transport under the most urgent procedure. The Medical Unit at destination will be constantly kept informed of the status of the transfer and the estimated time of arrival.
The service covers the whole of the national territory and, in special cases, also foreign countries. Thus - depending on the urgency, the destination and the weather conditions - aerial means might be partially or fully used.
Each and every transport is organised for the specific request, with personnel and means dedicated 24 hours per day. The delivery is, therefore, ensured in the minimum time required to cover the distance between the pickup and destination sites, with no unforeseen stop.
