Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pockets for collecting and storing blood or of blood components.
  • a passive tank for medicament provided with means of identification intended for cooperate with a drug delivery device.
  • the first is that the management of these codes requires the operation of an external database allowing the code assigned to the pocket to be linked to useful information for operating the pocket.
  • the third reason is that the solutions are not inviolable, it is very easy to overload one label with a second label adhesive.
  • the device according to the invention is inviolable because it is fully enclosed and contained in the poached.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy to these disadvantages by proposing a safe marking allowing improved management of pocket traceability.
  • the invention relates in its most general acceptance a pocket characterized in that that it incorporates a radio frequency label with reading / writing surrounded by a closed biocompatible material of tightly to form an element whose dimensions are greater than the outlets for the contents of the bag, and in that the pocket is definitively sealed after incorporation of said label.
  • This solution is preferable to the solution consisting of sealing the radio frequency label with reading / writing on the inside of the blood bag.
  • This solution is also preferable to current solutions that can be diverted by superimposition of a second label to hide a first label.
  • the radio frequency label at read / write is placed in a sealed tube formed by folding and peripheral sealing of a sheet of a material identical to the material constituting the pocket.
  • the element containing read / write radio frequency label present a density lower than the density of liquids intended for be contained in the pocket.
  • the radio frequency element is for example filled with air.
  • the label has a first memory area not editable containing a label identifier, and memory areas each editable by category user only.
  • the mounting of the element is made by sealing or welding two sheets of same material as the pocket, the label being placed between the two sheets of the same material as the pocket prior to sealing or welding.
  • the range of emission / reception of the label is between a few centimeters and a few tens of centimeters, for example about 20 centimeters. Such a reach allows contactless remote sensing while avoiding the disturbance caused by a used pocket for another patient.
  • This solution also automates the reading the blood bag marking label. he there is no need for a voluntary act on the part of the operator, there is no risk of forgetting.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacture of a pocket for collecting and preservation of characterized blood or blood components in that an element formed by a label is prepared radio frequency incorporated in a waterproof pocket, in that we close a plastic sheet around this element, and in that the sealing of this sheet to form a pocket.
  • the radio frequency label is formed by a component comprising a memory and a transceiver module connected to an antenna and a coil Power.
  • This component can be encapsulated, or be incorporated into a tube formed by a sheet of material plastic folded to surround the component. This sheet is sealed on its edge to form a sealed pocket of a size slightly larger than the component. She may be slightly swollen with air to float on the surface of the liquid in the bag, and avoid clogging accidental outlets for the contents of the bag.
  • the element thus prepared is placed in the pocket before it is permanently sealed.
  • the dimension of this element is greater than the orifices intended for the flow of the contents of the bag.
  • the radio frequency label has a first memory area in which is written so definitive an identifier of the label.
  • a second memory area allows recording of information such as the identifier from the manufacturer of the bag.
  • This memory area is an area writable only once, or a protected area in writing by a first code so as to prohibit the modification of the identifier by a person not authorized.
  • a third memory area allows recording information relating to the content of the pocket, for example the identifier of the blood donor and the information such as HLA typing, date taken blood, ABO test, phenotype and blood grouping etc.
  • This third memory area is write protected by a code prohibiting modification of data by a unauthorized person.
  • This code is advantageously a key code public and private key to manage authentication of the person recording, and integrity of information.
  • This third area can also be read-protected by another read code for preserve the confidentiality of the information it contains.
  • a fourth memory area can contain information about the recipient of the blood. This zone can also be protected in read and / or write.
  • the blood bag can be hung from a gallows equipped with a control device allowing the reading the credentials of the content of the poached. This device can be used to control the compatibility between the contents of the bag and the status of the recipient.
