Timestrip Product Overview:
Unlike conventional labeling which solely indicates the product expiry date, Timestrip smart labels enable any user to see clearly whether a product is within its date/temperature parameters and therefore safe to administer. This is important information and a useful aid for patients, doctors and health-workers.
Validation at point of use:
Timestrip labels offer an intuitive visual check for healthcare workers to complement other important product data when administering vital pharmaceutical, vaccine, biological products or time sensitive medical devices.
Compliance:
Easy to read Timestrips can prompt nurses and / or patients when repeat doses or procedures (e.g. dressing changes) should be administered.
Reduced Wastage:
Blood and blood products for example must be used within a short period of time, after removal from a refrigerator. A visual label will prompt awareness of proper storage and, in a busy Theatre or A&E unit, avoid uncertainty leading to wastage of a valuable product.
Some Potential Applications:
- Vaccines and other labile bio-pharmaceuticals – with temperature/time constraints on use
- Blood products
- Multi-dose medicines (where environmental exposure reduces shelf life)
- Disposables (e.g. Filters, Dressings etc.) which require periodic replacement
- Reagents (e.g. labile radioactively labeled materials, calibrants and controls)
- Medical Devices, such as endoscopes
