The State of Israel's Nationwide Blood Banks Commence Discussions to Adopt Medisafe 1 Technologies Corporation's Pre-Matching Drug Safety Administration Technology
JERUSALEM, January 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medisafe 1 Technologies Corp. (OTCBB: MFTH), a developer of patented technologies that physically prevent unauthorized administration of prescription medications, announced today that the company has initiated discussions to implement the company's safety pre-matching locking device technology for blood transfusion vials with Israel's national Emergency Medical Services Provider who oversea the entire Nation's Blood Banks.
Discussions are with Israel's Magen David Adom, or Red Shield of David. This organization is the international equivalent of the Red Cross or Red Crescent and Magen David Adom are responsible for and overlook all of the national blood banks that provide blood to Israeli hospitals and other Medical Clinics in Israel.
Discussions are to focus on implementing Medisafe 1 Technology's patented pre-matching safety locking device on blood bags and vials. Using the technology, a barcode reader would need to electronically confirm that a particular patient was being administered the appropriate and correct blood type prior to the release of the blood from the vial.
"Improper infusion of blood caused by human error is an avoidable cause of death," said, Jacob Elhadad, CEO of Medisafe 1 Technologies. "Applying the concepts behind our patented pre-matching safety locking device technology to infusion bags, and blood vials can contribute to a reduction in the number of preventable deaths in hospitals."
"We are hopeful that the future implementation of the technology in Israel Blood Banks if approved can lead to its implementation in other countries. We have similarly initiated discussions with blood banks in the U nited States."
Medisafe 1 Technologies has already developed its locking device technology for syringes in hospitals. It is estimated that the application of the technology for infusion bags will be ready for demonstration within three months time.
