Blood Temp

The Blood Temp temperature indicators have been specifically designed to monitor the core temperature of a blood bag during blood transport. Helping to boost the efficiency of your blood transport system.

When the core temperature of the bag gets to either 6°C when in storage or 10°C when in transit, the breach window will turn from white to blue, letting you know the blood bag needs to be discarded.

Compliance: The Blood Temp 10°C meets all FDA and AABB requirements: FDA CFR 600. 1 5 (a) for monitoring blood temperature. FDA 510(k) #BK150289


Blood Temp temperature indicators are a simple solution that increase blood safety, decrease blood waste and provide auditable proof that your blood has been stored, transported and reissued in accordance with applicable regulatory standards.

Monitor the core temperature of blood bags when either in storage or in transit. The breach window will turn from white to blue so you know the blood bag needs to be discarded. Available in two temperature thresholds, 6°C (Blood Temp 6) to monitor blood bags when in storage and 10°C (Blood Temp 10 and Blood Temp 10+) when the blood bags are in transit.

Blood Temp 6 and Blood Temp 10 have two windows: an activation window that is yellow prior to activation and a breach window that is white prior to activation.

Blood Temp 10+ has two windows: an activation window that is yellow prior to activation and a 3 hour breach window that is white prior to activation.

FAQs

What is Blood Temp?

Timestrip® Blood Temp a single use temperature indicator in a self-adhesive label format.

Do I need to pre-condition the Blood Temp before activation?

Blood Temp does not require pre-conditioning. Just activate Blood Temp at any temperature above 6°C for Blood Temp 6 or 10°C for Blood Temp 10 as you cannot squeeze the dye out of the blister if it is in solid form. You then simply need to adhere the Timestrip onto a pre-chilled blood bag, whose temperature will immediately solidify the dye and then track any temperature breaches.

Does Blood Temp have a shelf life?

The expiry date is provided for each lot of products supplied. You will find it on a label on each bag together with the lot# we use for traceability.

What does partial colouration of the indication window mean?

Any blue colouration of the indication window (partial or full) denotes a temperature breach.

Why does the activation window turn dark green but then a lighter green when in the back of the fridge?

That is normal, and as it should be. It goes a bit lighter green because the liquid inside has solidified and contracts slightly within the pore structure, making it appear a lighter shade.
