I like the concept that the lock is applied directly to the unit and not to a plastic over-wrap bag the unit is placed in, but I think your ABO scheme is flawed. Patients that are undergoing stem cell transplants often receive a different ABO than what they are typed for on record and to assume that ABO compatibility is all that is important ignores the more important piece of proper patient identification.

The photo looks as if only one of the ports is blocked by the device. Trust me, the open port will be used and the locked one ignored.

You have an interesting concept but you need to take it further. IF you could combine the strength of your "on product" lock with Novateks bloodloc code system you might have something. Of course, this is my humble opinion only.

Buon giorno Pier Luigi. Nice idea, but the big question I would have to ask is - who would put the watch with the information about the blood group on to the patient's wrist? How would that be controlled?

It also looks rather expensive......

Florida cites hospital for transfusion error

AABB SmartBrief | 05/27/2008

The state of Florida has cited the Orlando Regional Medical Center for a transfusion error after an unidentified patient died at the hospital in March. The hospital, however, said that the state's report does not directly connect the death with the transfusion error. ORMC has instituted new procedures, however, to prevent this type of error.

Why ????????????
