“Timestrip® can also incorporate
anti-counterfeiting measures to
ensure product origin and
authenticity.”
Unlike conventional labelling which solely indicates the product expiry date, Timestrip® smart labels enable any user to see clearly whether a product is within its date / temperature parameters and therefore safe to administer. This is important information and a useful aid for patients, doctors and health-workers.
Integrity of cold chain: Timestrip® smart labels are calibrated to the lifetime characteristics of the product (from 4 hours to 12 months at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen) and to the degree of temperature/time sensitivity of the product.
Validation at point of use: Timestrip® labels offer an intuitive visual check for healthcare workers to complement other important product data when administering vital pharmaceutical, vaccine or biological products.
Product Authenticity: Timestrip® can also incorporate anti-counterfeiting measures to ensure product origin and authenticity.
Compliance: Easy to read Timestrips® can prompt nurses and or patients when repeat doses or procedures (e.g. dressing changes) should be administered.
Reduced Wastage: Blood and blood products for example must be used within a short period of time after removal from a refrigerator. A visual label will prompt awareness of proper storage and, in a busy theatre or A&E unit avoid uncertainty leading to wastage of a valuable product.
Some Potential Applications
• Vaccines and other labile bio-pharmaceuticals – with temperature/time constraints on use
• Blood products
• Multi-dose medicines (where environmental exposure reduces shelf life)
• Disposables (e.g. Filters, Dressings etc.) which require periodic replacement
• Reagents ( e.g. labile radioactively labelled materials, calibrants and controls)
Timestrip’s® current technologies and those in development represent an inexpensive means of helping to assure patient safety and reducing expensive wastage. We welcome enquiries from primary and secondary care organisations who seek solutions to these issues

Timestrip Plc has developed a new smart label called iStrip™ that identifies if an accidental freezing event takes place in the cold chain. This cost effective solution allows the individual dose level e.g. each vaccine vial to be monitored throughout the cold chain.
iStrip™ features:
• Irreversibly changes
colour if exposed to
freezing conditions
