Pressing the button activates the Blood Temp and simply and clearly indicates whether the core blood temperature has exceeded its temperature threshold.
The TimestripPlus blood bag indicator has been developed for use in blood banks and transfusion centers during the storage and transport of blood to show whether blood products can still be taken back if they have not been used.
Easy to read:
The TimestripPlus blood bag indicator changes from white to blue when the core blood bag temperature has exceeded 10°C.
This irreversible go/no-go indicator makes it easy to identify and assess temperature exceedances.
In addition to the BT10, there is also a BT6, this for storage control and thus the 6°C temperature limit.

At the Medical Cold Chain Congress on May 13, 2013, this topic was explained from different perspectives, for those who did not attend, the following presentations can be viewed:
– Timestrip : general information of the new blood label
– Red Cross Flanders : the cold chain of blood and its rules and requirements
– AZ ST Lucas Ghent: the practical experience regarding the application of Timestrip labels in the blood bank
The Imeldaziekenhuis in Bonheiden made an evaluation of the use of the Timestrip label, they see that by using the labels they have a good control of their temperature control and can guarantee it better, take a look at the presentation!
