The efficient monitoring of possible adverse events resulting from transfusion in recipients is an important component of the Hemovigilance system. The aims of this study was to build a Software-Prototype based on the content of the transfusion checklist aimed at the Nursing team that includes the primary information regarding the care provided to the client undergoing Transfusion Therapy. Methodology: This is a qualitative approach, which refers to Intervention Research, in the form of Implementation Process. The steps followed the operationalization model of Pressman's prototyping, being developed from January to September 2021. The Transfusional Checklist Prototype Software was submitted to content and usability evaluation by 38 (thirty-eight) specialists. Results: They were treated using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Systems Usability Scale (SUS). The evaluation of the Content Validation indices of the Transfusion Checklist Software-Prototype showed an increase from the first to the second round with total CVI = 0.97%. The usability evaluation of the Transfusion Checklist Prototype Software reached SUS results = 0.89 to 0.77 and an average score of 0.94. The Transfusional Checklist Prototype Software is suitable for the contribution in providing clear and safe information for quick use, consultation and transmission of data about the client receiving blood components, because its content allows us to establish it as a protocol of standardization for recording all fundamental actions in transfusion safety.
