Printing a code on a flexible medical solution container includes providing a flexible medical solution container which is at least partially light transmissive, storing in a memory circuit a code comprising numbers and translating the code comprising numbers using a bar code symbology, the bar code symbology defining dark areas and light areas. The method includes applying a light-reflective ink to the container based on the bar code symbology, wherein the light-reflective ink is applied in areas defined by the dark areas, and applying a light-absorbing ink to the container based on the bar code symbology, wherein the light-absorbing ink is applied in areas defined by the light areas. The applied light-reflective ink and light-absorbing ink results in a code which represents a reversal of the dark and light areas defined in the bar code symbology.

A system and method processes blood donation data for presentation on an operator interface. A handheld computing device has a touch screen display and a processing circuit to provide an icon associated with an executable application on a first display screen, the icon configured to be positioned along with icons for other executable applications on the first display screen. The processing circuit is to retrieve an indication of a need for a particular blood component, wherein the particular blood component is selected from the group comprising whole blood, double red cells and plasma. The processing circuit is to provide the indication of the need for a particular blood component to the display. The processing circuit is to provide to the touch screen display a remaining time or a date the blood donor is next eligible to donate a blood component based on a donation eligibility guideline.

The present disclosure relates to arrangements for attaching an RFID tag to a liquid container, and particularly to a blood components container. The RFID tag may be inserted in an enclosure, such as peel tab, or in a sealed cup attached to a container port. The tag could alternately be embedded in a molded plug or component attached to a port. The RFID antenna could be painted or stamped on the surface of the container. Or the tag could be inserted into the container to float freely in the liquid components. The RFID source may be secured around the neck of a rigid or semi-rigid container, attached with a tether or attached to a connector assembled in association with a blood component or other fluid flow path.
