Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, barcodes require the reader to look directly at them, and they do not hold information other than simple identification data such as serial number and SKU
For example, a barcode on a band around a patient's wrist is not easily read when it is wet, or when the patient is asleep with their head on that arm, or while the patient is lying on an emergency gurney or operating table; prone to medical errors or blood transfusion errors

Embodiment Construction

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, there is a syringe 10, which is used in a biological fluid processing system to process biological fluid samples such as blood samples. Generally speaking, the biological fluid processing system includes a number of components that are used in different stages of blood sample processing, such as blood collection syringes for drawing unprocessed blood samples from patients, sample management units, blood processing units , blood delivery syringe 10 and patient identification such as a wristband with an identification device. After the unprocessed blood sample has been collected, the blood collection syringe is connected to the sample management unit on which the blood delivery syringe 10 is mounted, and the sample management unit is then introduced into the blood processing unit, where the unprocessed blood sample is subjected to One or more treatments, such as ozone or ozone / gas mixtures, treatment with ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) energy.

Abstract

A syringe (10) includes a releasable lock means (30) for allowing discharge of a treated biological fluid sample to the patient in response to a release signal to the releasable lock means. The release signal is issued following a positive outcome from a verification process dependent upon temporal data from certain events in the collection, treatment and delivery of the biological fluid sample, and identity data of the patient and the syringe with the treated biological fluid.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 683,280, filed May 19, 2005. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to medical device management, and more particularly, to a device for permit-based fluid delivery. Background technique [0004] Despite great advances in health care technology and delivery, many patients still die or become disabled as a result of medical malpractice. These accidents occur in many areas of health care, such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, emergency centers, infirmaries, pharmacies, and home care, and often result from systemic problems rather than individual actions or decisions. [0005] Over the years, barcode labels have become a technology that ensures patient safety. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a new rule that requires certain human drug and biological product labels to have barcodes. As a result, bar c...
