Timestrip® Blood Temp 10












Use and application

1. Select a BT10 indicator and implement a QC visual test to make sure it is not yet activated: the arming window should be yellow and the breach window should be white.

2. Note: BT10 does not require pre-conditioning. BT10 can be activated at normal room temperature - any temperature above 10˚C will do.

3. Remove the pre-chilled blood bag from the controlled refrigerator (below 6°C/43°F). Select a suitable location on the blood bag for the BT10 (for example, the lower 1/3rd of the blood bag, if stored upright). Ensure this area is oil & moisture free.

4. On the BT10 indicator, firmly squeeze the activation button between thumb and forefinger. BT10 is activated when the arming window changes to dark green. If arming window remains yellow, squeeze button again.

5. Immediately after activation, peel off the liner and firmly adhere the BT10 to the prepared location on the blood bag. Verify full adhesion to the blood bag.
