Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A labelling system includes a labelling plate being adapted to be removably connected with a sterile container, wherein the labelling plate includes interfaces for at least one label (e.g. barcode) and at least one identification tag (e.g. RFID). The interfaces can removably hold the at least one identification tag and/or the at least one label at the separate labelling plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A labelling plate adapted to be removably connected to a sterile container, the labelling plate comprising interfaces for at least one label and at least one identification tag, the interfaces comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface and the second interface designed for removably holding at least one of the at least one label and the at least one identification tag on the labelling plate, wherein the first interface is or comprises a retaining clip or brace, wherein the retaining clip or brace has a shape of a paper clip comprising a fixed clip leg fixedly connected with the labelling plate and a movable clip leg elastically movable relative to a front side of the labelling plate to be able to clamp the at least one label between the movable clip leg and the front side of the labelling plate, the labelling plate further comprising a slot extending through the labelling plate, wherein the retaining clip or brace extends through the slot such that the movable clip leg is positioned on the front side of the labelling plate and the fixed clip leg is positioned on a rear side of the labelling plate opposite the front side of the labelling plate. 2. A labelling plate adapted to be removably connected to a sterile container, the labelling plate comprising interfaces for at least one label and at least one identification tag, the interfaces comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface and the second interface designed for removably holding at least one of the at least one label and the at least one identification tag on the labelling plate, wherein the first interface is or comprises a retaining clip or brace, wherein the retaining clip or brace has a shape of a paper clip comprising a fixed clip leg fixedly connected with the labelling plate and a movable clip leg elastically movable relative to a front side of the labelling plate to be able to clamp the at least one label between the movable clip leg and the front side of the labelling plate, wherein the labelling plate further comprises a slot extending through the labelling plate, wherein the retaining clip or brace extends through the slot such that the movable clip leg is positioned on the front side of the labelling plate and the fixed clip leg is positioned on a rear side of the labelling plate opposite the front side of the labelling plate, and wherein the first interface comprises a convex section along the front side of the labeling plate, and the second interface comprises a planar section along the front side of the labeling plate. 3. The labelling plate according to claim 2 , wherein the slot extends through the convex section, and the movable clip leg extends along the planar section. 4. A labelling plate adapted to be removably connected to a sterile container, the labelling plate comprising interfaces for at least one label and at least one identification tag, the interfaces comprising a first interface and a second interface, the first interface and the second interface designed for removably holding at least one of the at least one label and the at least one identification tag on the labelling plate, wherein the first interface is or comprises a retaining clip or brace, wherein the retaining clip or brace comprises a fixed clip leg fixedly connected with the labelling plate and a movable clip leg elastically movable relative to a front side of the labelling plate to be able to clamp the at least one label between the movable clip leg and the front side of the labelling plate, the labelling plate further comprising a slot extending through the labelling plate, wherein the retaining clip or brace extends through the slot such that the movable clip leg is positioned on the front side of the labelling plate and the fixed clip leg is positioned on a rear side of the labelling plate opposite the front side of the labelling plate.
