Self-adhesive ‘hanging loop’ fixes to blood bag
Innovative printed one-part tag system
Removable self-adhesive panels for transfusion recording
Easily detachable barcode printed elements
Innovative MHRA compliant blood bag tag labels
The quickest, most cost-effective and reliable method to ensure positive identification of blood bags available on the market today on rolls and A4 print sheets.
Designed, produced and supplied exclusively by BRENMOOR, our innovative, fully patented, blood bag tags fully comply with all aspects of the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) Regulations.
The blood bag tag is supplied blank and can be printed through all common direct thermal printers and attached to the blood bag in a matter of seconds. Once printed the blood tag is completely resistant to water, soaps, alcohol and all common chemicals used in blood banks, hospital wards, theatres and laboratories, to reduce the likelihood of blood being wrongly administered.
The face of the blood bag tag contains a selection of printable areas, to record both the patients and transfusion staff details, and also will allow a handwritten signature to be added. Additionally, there are a number of perforated areas which are easily detached and used for accurate recording of the transfusion process on to patient notes.
The blood bag tags on rolls have been designed for use in the vast majority of commonly used, direct thermal transfer printers including Zebra’s 2844 & G-Series ranges, as well as most TEC, Citizen, TSC, Maxatech, Intermec, Brother and Avery models. As with all other BRENMOOR products, they are designed to accept GS1 standard barcode formats.
Numerous designs available offering different sizes of removable sections and labels. We can also design a tag specifically for an individual hospital if required.
