Blood Transfusion Products

RAD-CONTROL® labels are carefully engineered tools to verify blood irradiation. They serve to improve blood safety, help to enhance efficiency and streamline protocols in blood banks and the transfusion medicine.

Why blood irradiation?

Blood irradiation stops high-risk patients from developing the almost always fatal transfusion-associated Graft-versus-Host Disease (TA-GvHD), a possible complication of blood transfusion. It occurs when immunodeficient patients receive non-irradiated blood transfusions.

Discover the solution that best suits your facility’s needs with three options to choose from. All three types are equipped with innovative technology and customisable features and can be stored at room temperature. All can also be used with equal efficacy for both Gamma and X-ray irradiation systems; however, they must never be used as a dosimeter.

Electronically readable irradiation results

RAD-CONTROL® BARCODE

Automate your irradiation process with a new generation of blood irradiation indicators: the RAD-CONTROL® BARCODE is a sophisticated verification tool for the irradiation process of blood. Following ISBT’s recommendation for machine readable codes, the labels deliver electronic capabilities and scannable irradiation results for an automated, streamlined process.
