Removable patient identification strap for blood recipient verification
First Claim
1. A blood-recipient verification device for use in matching blood between a donor and recipient, comprising:
- an elongate body;
a patient ID label region along a portion of the elongate body, the patient ID label region further including;
a removable top ID label layer on which information can be directly imprinted;
a bottom layer initially beneath the removable top ID label layer comprised of an image material such that imprinting information on the removable top ID label layer creates an image of the information in the bottom layer; and
a slot through the patient ID label region;
an elongate strap along a portion of the elongate body adjacent to the patient ID label region, at least a portion of the elongate strap comprising a transparent portion, an end of the elongate strap being configured to be looped through the slot through the patient ID label region so as to form a bracelet wherein at least a portion of the transparent portion of the elongate strap overlays the bottom layer so as to protect image information on the bottom layer; and
an identification label region along a portion of the elongate body removably attached to either (i) an end of the patient ID label region or (ii) an end of the elongate strap distal to the patient ID label region, the identification label region including one or more removable identification labels.

Abstract
A blood recipient verification device includes a patient ID label region including a top ID label layer on which information can be imprinted, a bottom layer comprising an image material in underlining registry with the top layer, an elongate strap adjacent the patient ID label region, and an identification label region that is removably attached to either an end of the patient ID label region or an end of the elongate strap. At least a portion of the elongate strap may be transparent so as to provide a window through which information on the bottom layer can be read while protecting such information from being damaged. An adhesive coating may be applied to the same surface as the removable identification labels of the identification label region so that when the labels are affixed to a blood sample collection tube, the labels will not be exposed but be protected.
