SYRINGE WITH VALVE OPENED UPON VERIFICATION OF CORRECT PATIENT IDENTITY

摘要

A syringe (10) includes a releasable lock means (30) for allowing discharge of a treated biological fluid sample to the patient in response to a release signal to the releasable lock means. The release signal is issued following a positive outcome from a verification process dependent upon temporal data from certain events in the collection, treatment and delivery of the biological fluid sample, and identity data of the patient and the syringe with the treated biological fluid.
