Production and delivery tracking and sample verification of patient-specific therapeutics

Abstract

Systems and methods for tracking biological samples are presented. Intrinsic and extrinsic biological sample data and/or intrinsic and extrinsic patient data may be used to label a biological sample obtained at a point-of-care facility, which may be sent to a processing facility, wherein the labeled biological sample undergoes analysis and/or processing into a labeled therapeutic. The labeled therapeutic is delivered back to the point-of-care facility, wherein the labeled therapeutic is tested for the presence of the additives prior to administration to a patient. Multi-factor validation is performed, including validating the identity of the patient to a container, validating the identity of the labeled biological sample/therapeutic to the container, and thus, validating the identity of the labeled therapeutic to the patient. The entire life cycle of a biological sample used to generate a personalized therapeutic is validated, and ensures that mix-ups or errors in administration are reduced or eliminated.
