Zebra 8000T Primary Blood Bag, Thermal Transfer Polyethylene Labels, DeepFreeze Adhesive, 105mm x 105mm

Barcode labelling within the blood bag tracking and storage process is a proven method for reducing identification errors and ensuring patients receive the right care. The processing and transportation of blood bags require label materials that can withstand the rigorous conditions faced by a blood bag, yet remain legible and still able to display critical information about its content. Blood is a precious resource and by using Zebra’s blood bag labels, blood bags can be clearly identified and accurately tracked, avoiding the waste and expense of having to destroy unidentified blood as well as reducing the risk of blood transfusion errors. To be able to correctly identify blood bags, two types of labels must be applied at different stages in the process; 8000T Primary Blood Bag: Labels are directly placed onto a blood bag by the blood bag manufacturer and display information such as the manufacturer’s name and address, as well as batch numbers and product codes to allow traceability. Additional primary labels are also used at the processing facility, for example at a blood bank or within the hospital. Once blood collection has taken place blood bags must be labelled and barcoded with important information such as the blood type and donor number. The adhesive used on such labels must not alter the composition of the blood products or damage them. As such, Zebra’s 8000T Primary Blood Bag adhesive has been approved by ISEGA and complies with ISO 3826 for direct labelling onto blood bags.
