BIOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF AGENTS AND PATIENT SAFETY IN BIOLOGICAL INJECTION OR ADMINISTRATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for confirming agent compatibility with a patient to whom the agent is to be delivered, the system comprising:
- a container for holding the agent;
a memory device associated with the container, the memory device including stored biometric data of the patient;
at least one detector adapted to read the stored biometric data associated with the container and to measure biometric data from the patient;
a delivery system associated with the container and comprising a controller in communication with the at least one detector, the controller adapted to compare the stored biometric data to the measured biometric data to confirm the compatibility of the agent to the patient and to prevent delivery of the agent to the patient should the controller determine that the stored biometric data does not match the measured biometric data.

Abstract
A system for confirming agent compatibility with a patient to whom the agent is to be delivered includes at least one detector adapted to read stored biometric data of the patient associated with the agent and to measure biometric data of the patient, and a controller adapted to compare the stored biometric data to the measured biometric data. The controller prevents the agent from being delivered to the patient if a mismatch occurs between the stored and the measured biometric data. The agent can, for example, include autologous cells harvested from the patient.

6. A method of delivering an agent to a patient, comprising:
-
associating biometric data from the patient with the agent; measuring biometric data from the patient before the agent is delivered to the patient; comparing the measured biometric data to the biometric data associated with the agent; and upon determination of a mismatch between the measured biometric data and the biometric data associated with the agent, preventing the agent from being delivered to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 18, 19, 20)

11. A method of delivering autologous cells, comprising:
-
associating a unique identifier with autologous cells harvested from a patient; and before delivering autologous cells to the patient, determining if the unique identifier is associated therewith. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
