All solutions provided by Hansab are designed to support the smooth day-to-day operation of healthcare facilities. Even seemingly small details can play an important role in achieving this goal. One example is the specially adapted labels supplied to the Kauno klinikos Blood Centre for marking blood component bags.
Designed for demanding conditions
At the Blood Centre, labels are more than just a way to display information. They must remain securely attached to blood component bags, stay clearly readable and withstand different storage conditions. This is particularly important because blood components may be stored at different temperatures, while fresh frozen plasma is kept at very low temperatures.
Standard labels are not suitable for these conditions: the adhesive may lose its grip, the material may become less durable and the printed information may fade. It is also essential to ensure that the label adhesive does not come into contact with or contaminate the blood components. For this reason, the labels supplied to the Kauno klinikos Blood Centre are tested and designed for safe use at low temperatures and in demanding everyday working conditions.
Carefully adapted to work processes
The labels are supplied in rolls, and their shape and detachable sections are specifically designed to match particular blood component bags, samples and the Blood Centre’s work processes. The synthetic material helps ensure durability and keeps the information clear and readable.
The labels also include four barcodes used to identify samples and link them to the hospital information system. This means the labels are not only a source of information, but also an important part of accurate documentation and traceability.
For the Kauno klinikos Blood Centre, it is important that the tools used every day are both high quality and well adapted to its work processes. We are pleased to help ensure that even the smallest details, such as labels, meet the strict requirements of the healthcare sector and contribute to the smooth daily operation of the Blood Centre.
