## FAQ
- Q: How does RFID prevent ABO-incompatible transfusions?
  A: At the bedside, the nurse scans the patient's RFID wristband and then scans the blood bag's RFID label. The system automatically cross-references the patient's blood type with the unit's blood type and the crossmatch record. If there is any mismatch or the unit was not crossmatched for this patient, the system blocks the transfusion and alerts the nurse — preventing the error before it reaches the patient.
- Q: Does the RFID label work reliably at refrigerated and frozen temperatures?
  A: Yes. Our blood bag labels use cold-chain rated adhesive and moisture-barrier substrate tested for continuous storage at 2-6 °C (red cells), −30 °C (frozen plasma / cryoprecipitate), and repeated temperature transitions between zones. Read performance is validated at all storage temperatures with standard UHF readers.
- Q: Is the label compatible with ISBT 128 and our blood bank information system?
  A: Yes. The label encodes data in ISBT 128 format, the international standard for blood product identification. It is compatible with major blood bank information systems including Mediware HCLL, SoftBank, Haemonetics SafeTrace and Epic Beaker. We provide encoding specifications and integration support for your specific BBIS.
- Q: Does the RFID label coexist with the ISBT 128 printed barcodes, or does it replace them?
  A: It coexists — ICCBBA TS-002 and FDA 21 CFR Part 606 require the printed linear barcodes and Data Matrix to remain on the label as the primary data carriers. The UHF RFID tag is a parallel read path that enables automated refrigerator inventory, batch verification and bedside workflows that visual barcode scanning cannot support efficiently. In practice every ProudTek blood-bag label carries both the printed ISBT 128 barcodes (Code 128 and Data Matrix formats) and the UHF RFID tag encoding the same DIN + product code + expiration data. This redundancy is what the regulator expects and what the major BBIS vendors support — any scanner or any RFID reader in the workflow returns the same identifiers.
- Q: How does RFID blood-bag labelling compare with NFC or HF RFID for the same use case?
  A: The choice is driven by read-range and throughput. HF (13.56 MHz ISO 15693 / NFC) gives 5-15 cm read range — suitable for hand-held bedside scanning (nurse taps the bag against a phone or workstation reader) but not suitable for bulk inventory in a refrigerator or box-level receiving. UHF RAIN (860-960 MHz ISO 18000-63) gives 1-5 m read range — suitable for refrigerator-wall readers that continuously inventory 400-600 units without opening the door, and for conveyor or dock-door reads during transit. Most modern deployments use UHF for the bulk-inventory and issuing workflows and add a separate HF / NFC tag for bedside cryptographic verification when the therapy is cellular or high-risk (e.g. autologous CAR-T, where wrong-patient administration is catastrophic). For standard red-cell and plasma transfusion the UHF label alone plus the patient RFID wristband is the dominant pattern.
