Patent number: 9373008Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus that is able to authenticate and prevent illegal manufacturing and unauthorized operation of disposable bioprocess components. This invention utilizes a ferro-electric random access memory chip (FRAM) chip to store error-correctable information on a RFID tag attached to the disposable bioprocess components, where the error-correctable information is written in sequence into the memory chip, so that the redundant information can remain in the chip when the RFID tag and disposable bioprocess component is gamma-sterilized. Also, this invention includes a method for authenticating the disposable bioprocess component that reduces liability in that a counterfeit poor quality disposable component is not used on the hardware so the user will not file an unjustified complaint.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: GE Healthcare Bioscience BioProcess Corp.Inventors: Manuel Nyffeler, Radislav A. Potyrailo, Vincent F. Pizzi, William G. Morris, Gerard J. Gach, Vijay Singh

Publication number: 20120001731Abstract: This invention provides a system for operating RFID tags on a single-use connector. The system includes: a first single-use connector configured to receive a first RFID tag and a second single-use connector configured to receive a second RFID tag. The invention also includes a reader placed close to the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag. The reader is configured to: determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag are gamma sterilized; determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag were previously used; determine if the first RFID tag and the second RFID tag are authentic; and determine if the first RFID tag matches with the second RFID tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2010Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicant: GE HEALTHCARE BIOSCIENCE BIOPROCESS CORP.Inventors: Radislav Potyrailo, Vincent F. Pizzi, Hanno Ehring, Cheryl M. Surman, Klaus Gebauer, Mircea Georgescu

Publication number: 20100172203Abstract: This invention is a mixing container apparatus with internal circulation that allows a user to efficiently mix soluble powders or highly viscous liquids in mixing containers. This apparatus utilizes specialized bags with baffles to provide the user with a mixing system that has a good mixing performance. Also, this apparatus allows the mixing apparatus container to preserve its hermetic integrity and does not require any type of seal where the apparatus can be easily scaled up to a few hundred liters. Thus, this invention provides the user with a simple method to mix soluble powder or viscous liquid in a mixing container that is more efficient and provides good mixing performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2008Publication date: July 8, 2010Applicant: GE HEALTHCARE BIOSCIENCE BIOPROCESS CORP.Inventor: Vijay Singh
