International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

The invention involves a method for tracking bags containing biological fluids for dispensing within a human body, including, but not limited to human blood and plasma. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a bag configured and arranged for sterile, aseptic, and stable retention of biological fluids; placing a quantity of the biological fluids into the bag; providing a first information-processing device with a data-input device and with a data-transfer device, said data-transfer device capable of writing data that has been input into the information-processing device, into a data-storage chip in a manner readable by a second information-processing device; affixing to the bag a readable/writeable data-storage chip; collecting fluid-data about the biological fluid; and inputting data, such as the fluid-data, into the first information-processing device for data transfer onto the chip. The readable/writeable data-storage chip is capable of interfacing with the first and second information-processing devices. The first information-processing device can write data to the data-storage chip and the second information-processing device can read of the data on the chip.
