Definitions

  • the present patent concerns the systems for transferring data by means of
  • RFID technology in hospitals or analysis labs, and in particular its concerns a new traceability system through RFID UHF technology for materials of organic human and/or animal origin, and also for containers and/or systems for transporting them.
  • Each container with the corresponding sample defined as primary container, can be marked with one or more labels containing information like the name of the patient, the type of analysis to be carried out on the sample, and any other information necessary to the analysis lab and/or to the medical staff who takes the sample, while the containers for transport, defined as secondary containers, contain few information or no information at all.
  • the primary containers with the samples to be analysed are sent to the analysis lab or another destination where the sample is subjected to the necessary operations, or handling, or storage.
  • Electronic labels are known, like those disclosed in document US 2007/0028495 that concerns identification labels comprising a chip suited to receive information through a communication system called RFID that is based on radio waves.
  • the patent EP 1850289 concerns an identification system by means of RFID for medical institutes and comprises a data bank, with information being transferred, through radio waves at 13,56 MHz, between the electronic labels applied to the objects or documents and the reading/writing devices and from here stored in the data bank.
  • the system actually creates a data bank for collecting infomiation for management purposes.
  • the subject of the present patent is a new traceability system using RFID UHF technology for containers of samples of biologic material, called primary containers, like for example test tubes destined for diagnostic and/or haematological use, containers for samples of urine and/or faeces and/or other samples of organic human or animal origin, etc, and/or for systems for handling or transporting them, also called secondary containers.
  • Another object of the present invention is to guarantee the traceability of said containers and/or groups of containers and/or their secondary containers during collection, transport, shipment, delivery and acceptance.
  • Another object of the present invention is to minimize human errors in the traceability, storage, handling and management in general of said containers and of the information and data related thereto.
  • Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to identify with certainty the container and its contents, as well as all the information related thereto that is contained in a chip univocally associated with each specific container.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow the information contained in the chip to be processed and used through reference to the central data bank where the information is stored.
  • a further object of the present invention is to enable the general recognition of several containers through openings or fixed identification areas provided with RFID UHF reading devices.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow said containers to be traced during all the sample management and/or processing and/or diagnostic and/or storage steps.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow said containers and samples to be identified and localized at any moment, tracing back their route by simply referring to the collected data regarding their movements and the processing they underwent.
  • a further object of the present invention is to make it possible to make research and/or gather information on lost containers by tracing the movements of said containers and samples and the processing they underwent from the moment of collection to the moment of storage.

  • the new system comprises at least one passive or active RFID UHF transponder, which can be practically applied in the form of a chip inside a solid TAG, or be present in a label, for each container, and may contain information or data written/legible through specific software and RFID UHF technology, and wherein said information univocally identify the corresponding container.
  • Each primary or secondary container can thus be identified as it contains at least one RFID UHF chip inserted in the container or applied to the wall and/or to the lid of the container and/or positioned on one or more labels applied to the container.
  • Said chip contains for example one or more of the following information regarding the sample: type and origin of the sample; subject and/or structure that took or collected the sample; patient's data and/or identification code; date, time, place of collection and/or packaging of the sample; date, time and places, offices or structures of transit of the sample; analyses or operations or processing to which the sample was or has to be subjected, etc. Said information can be clear or coded for privacy reasons.
  • the information contained in said chip and the univocal code contained therein can be stored in a central database, which can be referred to both within a local area network (LAN) and within a wide area network (WAN). Said information can then be stored and in any case used in a central data bank.

  • the new system exploits the actual communication protocols defined by the ISO standards 18000-6c, 18000-6b, 18000-6a, 18000-7, which operate at the indicated frequencies, or other suitable protocols.
  • said new system comprises a plurality of openings or fixed identification areas located in strategic passage points of said containers with the corresponding chips.
  • Each one of said openings or identification areas comprises at least one reading and/or writing device using the RFID UHF technology, suited to read and/or input information in said chip of each container or group of containers in transit within an operating range that can also exceed 5/7 metres.
  • the infonnation transferred between said chip and each one of said openings can be stored in at least one data bank, where it can in any case be processed, managed and looked up.
  • the start is registered, for example towards one or more analysis points within the same structure where the sample has been taken or in a delocalised structure.
  • At least one further opening or area registers the arrival at said analysis point/s, and further openings or areas in one or more intermediate points between the collection point and the analysis point/s also trace the route.
  • Each analysis, operation or processing to which the sample or container is subjected can be registered in the chip and from here stored in the data bank through one or more of said openings or areas.
  • the chip with its univocal code can serve as an individual identification system suited to trace the various passages/steps of the container associated therewith.
  • any further movement of said container or groups of containers is traced and registered by means of one or more further openings or areas located for example at the entrance and exit of a structure where said containers are processed, analysed, stored.
  • the new system offers the further advantage of ensuring traceability not only of a single container at a time, as in the known systems, but also of groups of containers handling high quantities and volumes, even up to 500 chips, that is, 500 containers, in less than one second.
