World Blood Donor Day 2024 – Mediaform offers a proven solution for the identification labelling of blood products

Safety, security and quality for the healthcare industry

On World Blood Donor Day, which is celebrated annually on 14 June, the importance of blood donation and the safety and security of blood products are brought into focus worldwide. As one of the leading providers of labelling and identification solutions for the healthcare sector, Mediaform is committed to ensuring the safety, security and quality of blood products. In this context, Mediaform presents its MARKENetiketten blood bag identification labels, which have been specially developed to meet the demanding requirements of blood product identification labelling.

Reliable identification labelling of blood products is a decisive factor for their safety. Mix-ups must be excludable, and the labels must be perfectly adapted to the flexible surfaces of the bags. However, demanding storage conditions and low temperatures in a refrigerator or freezer also pose a challenge. In addition, the adhesive must not show any migration that could contaminate the blood product.

Mediaform provides the solution: MARKENetiketten blood bag labels were specifically developed for the particular requirements of blood products identification labelling, and are certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 3826 standard. Made from PVC-free material, they are resistant to moisture, greases and many chemicals. They also withstand low or particularly high temperatures: the labels are temperature-resistant from -80°C to +140°C, and are therefore also suitable for autoclave sterilisation. A migration-proof adhesive guarantees their durability.

For reliable printing of blood bag labels, customers can also find disinfectant-resistant healthcare printers in the Mediaform online store, which are specially designed to meet the requirements of the healthcare sector, as well as resin ultra ribbons from the Mediaform MARKENfarbbänder. With this perfectly coordinated combination, the blood bag labels can be printed with smudge and scratch resistance.

Jörg Weber, Mediaform’s Managing Director, says: “At Mediaform, we understand the critical importance of blood products identification labelling for patient safety and security. With our MARKENetiketten labels, we set standards for reliability and consistency. Hospitals and medical establishments can rely on our identification labels to meet the highest standards, contributing to the safety, security and quality of the blood supply.”
