The present invention relates to an X-ray irradiator for single blood bags, comprising: an X-ray irradiator main body provided with a chamber configured to safely hold a single blood bag therein and an X-ray tube configured to irradiate the chamber with X-rays; a loading part configured to load the blood bag; and a transfer part configured to transfer the blood bag between the loading part and the chamber to which X-rays are to be emitted. The X-ray irradiator for single blood bags according to the present invention can treat a single blood bag with X-rays, such that treatment optimized for a small amount of a blood bag can be performed, and a system configuration can be simplified by using an X-ray tube.

Modular blood product storage system for temperature-regulated storage of blood products with a temperature regulation unit for temperature regulation of the blood product storage system, a base unit and at least one agitator unit with an upper connection side, a lower connection side, a movable compartment to receive the blood products and a drive for movement of the compartment, wherein the compartment is arranged between the upper connection side and the lower connection side, wherein the upper connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the temperature regulation unit or a further agitator unit, and wherein the lower connection side of the agitator unit is selectively connectable to the base unit or a further agitator unit.

Disclosed is a device for storing elements, wherein each element includes a first wireless communication unit, wherein the device includes at least one drawer assembly including: a drawer including a bottom defining at least one slot to receive an element; for each slot, a second wireless communication unit capable of transmitting radio frequency waves and designed to communicate with all the first communication units; the bottom of the drawer consists of a material that is able to be traversed by radiofrequency waves emitted by each second communication unit, wherein each second communication unit is arranged under the bottom of the drawer opposite the corresponding slot to allow communication between the second communication unit and the first communication unit of an element received in the slot.

Disclosed is a method for managing at least one container containing a biological product, including the following steps: providing at least one container provided with a label, the label being a wireless communication chip capable of communicating according to a UHF mode and according to a HF mode, the chip being capable of transmitting or receiving a signal having a frequency of between 300 MHz and 3000 MHz in the UHF mode and having a frequency of between 3 MHz and 30 MHz in the HF mode, the label further including a memory; and reading at least one piece of information included in the memory, by a reader, the chip communicating with the reader according to the UHF mode or the HF mode.

Disclosed is a device for storing elements, each element including a first wireless communication unit, the device including at least two drawer units each including: a drawer including a bottom defining at least one location for receiving an element; for each location, at least one second wireless communication unit including an antenna having a radiation-zone field, each antenna having a first state in which the antenna is activated and a second state in which the antenna is deactivated; and a data-processing unit able to control the activation and deactivation of the antenna of each second communication unit according to a control law.
