On Point – A new generation of blood irradiation indicators
On Point’s Rad-Control range of blood irradiation indicators includes options for semi-quantitative, electronically readable and customisable indicators.
After blood irradiation the Rad-Control Barcode irradiation indicator appears as a barcode. This globally unique indicator enables:
- Electronic readability of the blood irradiation result
- Automation of the blood irradiation process
- Improvement and simplification of the entire process
Additionally, the word “IRRADIATED” appears in a second field to also show users clearly that the irradiation was performed.
Life Guard Temperature Monitoring Systems
The Life Guard temperature monitoring systems monitors the temperature of red cell blood bags to prove blood handling has been compliant with relevant regulatory standards at all times.
After cooling, the indicator is activated by special UV-C light devices in less than five seconds. The patented “Life Guard” insulated surface rules out any external temperature influence and reliably protects against unintentional manual contact. Intuitive colours support the correct decision making in the operating process: non-activated = yellow, activated = dark blue, temperature exceeded = orange.
