Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Blutampullenhaltevorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a blood ampoule holding device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Wenn einer Person Blut abgenommen wird, besteht das Problem, dass die mit Blut gefüllte Ampulle (bzw. Ampullen) dieser Person zur weiteren Behandlung oder Versorgung zweifelsfrei zugeordnet werden muss, damit z.B. im Falle einer notwendigen Bluttransfusion Blut der richtigen Blutgruppe verabreicht werden kann. Eine zuverlässige sichere Zuordnung von Blutampullen zu den zugehörigen Personen ist bisher in vielen Fällen nicht gewährleistet.When blood is taken from a person, there is the problem that the blood-filled vial (or ampoules) must be unequivocally assigned to that person for further treatment or care, e.g. In the case of a necessary blood transfusion, blood of the right blood type can be administered. A reliable safe assignment of blood ampoules to the associated persons is not guaranteed in many cases.

Beispielsweise wird bei schweren Verkehrsunfällen dem Verunglückten am Unfallort häufig Blut entnommen, damit nach dem Transport in ein Krankenhaus möglichst schnell lebensrettende Maßnahmen ergriffen werden können, wobei der Zeitfaktor für die Rettung des Patienten entscheidend sein kann. Dabei stehen bisher keine Hilfsmittel zur Verfügung, um die Blutampullen so mit dem Patienten zu transportieren, dass sie nicht verloren gehen oder verwechselt werden können. Im Falle von mehreren Verletzten ist nach einem Transport der Patienten und der mit Blut gefüllten Laborröhrchen die Verwechslungsgefahr groß, wobei auch eine Markierung der Blutampullen, sofern in der Hektik der Notfallversorgung am Unfallort hierzu überhaupt Gelegenheit besteht, eine spätere Verwechslung nicht ausschließen kann. Bei großen Verkehrsunfällen mit vielen Verletzten, z.B. bei Bus- oder Zugunglücken, ist daher eine Blutentnahme an der Unfallstelle wegen der fehlenden Möglichkeit der späteren Zuordnung zu den einzelnen Personen sehr problematisch, so dass die Blutentnahme oft erst im Krankenhaus erfolgt und möglicherweise lebensrettende Maßnahmen zu spät kommen können.For example, blood is often taken from the casualty at the scene of the accident in the event of a serious traffic accident, so that life-saving measures can be taken as quickly as possible after transport to a hospital, whereby the time factor can be decisive for the rescue of the patient. So far there are no tools available to transport the blood vials with the patient so that they can not be lost or confused. In the case of several casualties after transport of the patient and the blood-filled laboratory tubes, the likelihood of confusion, with a mark of the blood ampoules, if there is any opportunity in the rush of emergency care at the accident site, a later confusion can not be ruled out. In large traffic accidents with many injured, such as bus or train accidents, therefore, a blood sample at the accident site is very problematic because of the lack of possibility of later assignment to the individual persons, so that the blood sampling often only in Hospital takes place and possibly life-saving measures may come too late.

Auch in einer Klinik kann es zu einer falschen Zuordnung von Laborröhrchen mit einer Blutprobe oder beispielsweise einer Urinprobe kommen, beispielsweise durch eine fehlerhafte Kennzeichnung mit falschem Namen oder falscher Zuordnung der mit Namen versehenen Ampulle zu einem anderen Patienten infolge mangelhafter Aufmerksamkeit des Klinikpersonals.Even in a clinic, there may be an incorrect assignment of laboratory tubes with a blood sample or, for example, a urine sample, for example, by incorrect identification with a false name or incorrect assignment of the name-bearing ampoule to another patient due to inadequate attention of the clinic staff.

US 2007/0175841 A1 offenbart eine Blutampullenhaltevorrichtung, die am Arm eines Blutspenders befestigbar ist, wobei die Blutampullen bei der Blutentnahme in rundum geschlossene Hülsen einer Platte eingesteckt werden. Die Blutampullen können dabei zusätzlich durch Löcher einer hochgeklappten Schutzwand durchgesteckt sein, um die Finger der die Blutabnahme durchführenden Person vor einer Verletzung durch eine Nadel zu schützen, die durch den Stopfen der Blutampullen gedrückt wird. Bei einer Ausführungsform ist außer den Hülsen zur Befestigung der Blutampullen auch ein Halteclip zur Befestigung eines Nadelsystems vorgesehen. Die Platte ist mit einem gesonderten Band verbindbar, um eine Schlaufe zu, deren Größe jedoch nicht einstellbar ist. US 2007/0175841 A1 discloses a blood ampoule holding device which is attachable to the arm of a blood donor, the blood ampoules are inserted in the blood collection in completely closed sleeves of a plate. In addition, the blood ampoules can be pushed through holes in a folded-up protective wall in order to protect the fingers of the person taking the blood sample from injury by a needle which is pressed by the stopper of the blood ampoules. In one embodiment, a retaining clip for attaching a needle system is provided in addition to the sleeves for attaching the blood ampoules. The plate is connectable to a separate band to a loop, the size of which is not adjustable.

US 5,581,924 A offenbart ein Armband mit einer Tasche, in die eine Identifikationskarte einsetzbar ist. US 6,212,808 D1 offenbart ebenfalls ein Identifikationsarmband z.B. für Babys, mit einem sägezahnförmigen Endabschnitt des Bandes, der in einem Schlitz der die Identifikationsmerkmale tragenden Platte fixiert wird. US 5,581,924 A discloses a bracelet with a pocket into which an identification card can be inserted. US 6,212,808 D1 also discloses an identification bracelet eg for babies, with a saw-toothed end portion of the band which is fixed in a slot of the plate bearing the identification features.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine sichere und dabei kostengünstige Lösung für die obigen Probleme anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide a safe and cost-effective solution to the above problems.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung sieht eine Haltevorrichtung für Blutampullen und dergleichen vor, die eine Platte mit einer Fixiereinrichtung für die Ampullen und ein Band aufweist, deren Endbereich mit der Platte zu einer geschlossenen Schlaufe einstellbarer Größe lösbar verbindbar ist. Die Platte mit den daran befestigten Ampullen lässt sich mit Hilfe des Bandes an einem Arm oder einem Bein des Patienten befestigen, wodurch die Ampullen sicher mit dem Patienten verbunden sind, bis der Patient medizinisch versorgt werden kann. Die Platte wird bevorzugt mit Hilfe des Bandes vor der Blutentnahme am Patienten befestigt, so dass die gefüllten Blutampullen unverlierbar an der Platte und damit am Patienten befestigt werden können. Die Blutampullen können damit weder am Unfallort noch während des Transports verloren werden oder mit Blutampullen anderer Patienten verwechselt werden, so dass sie im Krankenhaus für die weitere Behandlung und/oder Untersuchung zur Verfügung stehen.The invention provides a holding device for blood ampoules and the like, which has a plate with a fixing device for the ampoules and a band, whose end portion with the plate to a closed loop of adjustable size is releasably connectable. The plate with the ampoules attached thereto can be attached to an arm or leg of the patient with the aid of the tape, whereby the ampoules are securely connected to the patient until the patient can be medically treated. The plate is preferably attached to the patient by means of the tape prior to blood collection, so that the filled blood ampoules can be captively attached to the plate and thus to the patient. The vials can therefore neither be lost at the scene of the accident nor during transport, or be mistaken for other patients' vials of blood, so that they can be used at the hospital for further treatment and / or examination.

Auch im Krankenhaus kann im Falle einer Blutentnahme das oder die Laborröhrchen mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung direkt am Patienten befestigt werden.In the case of a blood sample, the laboratory tube or tubes can also be attached directly to the patient in the hospital by means of the holding device according to the invention.

Die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung löst nicht nur das Problem einer sicheren Zuordnung von Blutampullen zu der Person, von der das Blut stammt, sondern an der Platte kann nach einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung auch eine Tasche angeformt sein, in die ein USB-Stick in einem leichten Klemmsitz einsteckbar ist.The holding device according to the invention solves not only the problem of a safe assignment of blood ampoules to the person from whom the blood comes, but on the plate may be formed according to a further proposal of the invention, a pocket in which a USB stick in a slight clamping fit is pluggable.

Außerdem kann die Platte wenigstens einen doppelwandigen Abschnitt haben, in den eine Patientenscheckkarte und/oder z.B. ein Impfpass, Allergiepass, ein Medikament, Notrufnummern etc. einsteckbar sind, die ebenfalls in einem Klemmsitz in der Tasche stecken.In addition, the plate may have at least one double-walled section into which a patient check card and / or e.g. a vaccination certificate, allergy passport, a drug, emergency numbers, etc. are plugged, which also stuck in a tight fit in the pocket.

Damit ist die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung auch als Vorsorgemaßnahme beispielsweise in einem Altersheim oder Kindergarten geeignet, indem einer Person eine bestimmte, mit Namen versehene Haltevorrichtung zugeordnet wird, die beispielsweise auf einem USB-Stick wichtige Informationen der Krankengeschichte der Person und auf einer Patientenscheckkarte weitere Angaben enthält. Im Notfall wird die Haltevorrichtung mit diesen Informationen schlaufenförmig an der Person befestigt, so dass sie zusammen mit diesen Informationen und z.B. im Falle eines Unfalls gegebenenfalls mit Blutampullen in ein Krankenhaus eingeliefert werden kann. Die Platte hat ein Namenfeld zur Beschriftung mit einem Stift oder zum Anbringen eines Namenschildes. Außerdem hat die Platte eine beschreibbare Rückseite.Thus, the holding device according to the invention is also suitable as a precautionary measure, for example in a nursing home or kindergarten, by assigning a person a specific, named holding device, the information of the patient's medical history, which is important for example on a USB stick, and further information on a patient check card. In an emergency, the holding device with this information is looped attached to the person so that they can be taken along with this information and, for example, in the event of an accident, if necessary with blood vials in a hospital. The plate has a name field for labeling with a pen or for attaching a nameplate. In addition, the plate has a writable back.

Erfindungsgemäß bestehen die Platte und das Band aus einem gummiartigen Material wie beispielsweise PUR oder thermoplastischem TPE. Die Platte und das Band sind einstückig hergestellt, und zwar im Spritzgussverfahren.According to the invention, the plate and the band are made of a rubber-like material such as PUR or thermoplastic TPE. The plate and the band are made in one piece, by injection molding.

Außerdem sieht die Erfindung vor, dass die Fixiereinrichtung aus mehreren in Längsrichtung der Platte nebeneinander angeordneten Paaren von im wesentlichen senkrecht von der Platte abstehenden Stegen mit aufeinander zuweisenden, hakenförmigen Enden besteht, zwischen denen jeweils eine Ampulle festklemmbar ist. Zum Entformen der spritzgegossenen Haltevorrichtung befindet sich in der Platte jeweils zwischen den Stegen ein Fenster in der Platte.In addition, the invention provides that the fixing device consists of a plurality of longitudinally of the plate juxtaposed pairs of substantially perpendicularly projecting from the plate webs with each other pointing, hook-shaped ends, between each of which an ampoule is clamped. For demolding the injection-molded holding device is located in the plate between the webs a window in the plate.

In einer anderen nicht Teil Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Fixiereinrichtung aus wenigstens einem aus gummiartigen Material hergestellten, sich in Längsrichtung der Platte erstreckenden Fixierband, wobei die Blutampullen zwischen die Platte und das Fixierband gesteckt und von dem Fixierband an die Platte angedrückt werden.In another embodiment not part of the invention, the fixing device consists of at least one rubbery material produced, extending in the longitudinal direction of the plate fixing belt, the blood ampoules inserted between the plate and the fixing belt and pressed by the fixing belt to the plate.

Grundsätzlich kann das Fixierband von der aus gummiartigem Material bestehenden Platte frei geschnitten sein, wobei die beidseitigen längs gerichteten Einschnitte nahezu keine Kosten verursachen.In principle, the fixing band may be cut free from the plate made of rubber-like material, the two-sided longitudinal cuts causing almost no costs.

Bevorzugt ist jedoch, dass von der Platte zwei kurze Stege abstehen, an denen das Fixierband befestigt ist. Das Fixierband wird dabei zweckmäßigerweise an den Stegen angespritzt.It is preferred, however, that protrude from the plate two short webs on which the fixing belt is attached. The fixing belt is expediently injection molded onto the webs.

Diese Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, dass das Fixierband einen kleinen Abstand von der Platte hat, so dass die Ampullen leichter zwischen die Platte und das Fixierband eingesteckt werden können.This design has the advantage that the fixing band has a small distance from the plate, so that the ampoules can be easily inserted between the plate and the fixing tape.

Das Fixierband kann dabei in Längsrichtung gesehen eine leichte Bogenform haben, um eine übermäßige Spannung in dem Fixierband zu verhindern, wenn die Haltevorrichtung z.B. am Arm oder einem Bein eines Patienten befestigt wird, wobei die Platte stark gebogen wird und das radial außen liegende Fixierband entsprechend gespannt wird.The fixing belt may have a slight arc shape in the longitudinal direction to prevent excessive tension in the fixing belt when the holding device is e.g. is attached to the arm or leg of a patient, the plate is strongly bent and the radially outer fixation band is tensioned accordingly.

Bei einer weiteren nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform sind als Fixiereinrichtung Röhrchen an der Platte angeformt, in die Ampullen in einem leichten Klemmsitz einsteckbar sind.In a further embodiment not according to the invention, tubes are formed on the plate as a fixing device, into which ampoules can be inserted in a slight clamping fit.

Grundsätzlich wird jede geeignete Fixiereinrichtung zum lösbaren Befestigen von Labörröhrchen an der Platte beansprucht.In principle, any suitable fixing device for releasably attaching laboratory tubes to the plate is claimed.

Weiter wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass vorzugsweise über der Fixiereinrichtung für jede zu befestigende Blutampulle (oder Laborröhrchen für eine Urinprobe oder dergleichen) ein Vorsprung an der Platte angeformt ist, der einen muldenförmigen Rand zur Anlage an der Wand einer Ampulle hat. Im Falle der von der Platte abstehenden Stegpaare ist dieser Vorsprung mit dem muldenförmigen Rand auf die Längsachse einer aufzunehmen Blutampulle zentriert. Es kann auch ein Vorsprung unter der Fixiereinrichtung vorgesehen sein, wobei "oben" und "unten" sich auf die dem Betätigungsabschnitt der Ampulle und deren Kopfabschnitt beziehende Breitenrichtung der Platte bezieht.It is further proposed according to the invention that preferably over the fixing device for each blood ampule to be fastened (or laboratory tube for a urine sample or the like), a projection is formed on the plate, which has a trough-shaped edge for engagement with the wall of an ampoule. In the case of the web pairs projecting from the plate, this projection is centered with the trough-shaped edge on the longitudinal axis of a blood ampule to be accommodated. There may also be provided a protrusion under the fixing means, wherein "up" and "down" refers to the width direction of the plate relating to the operation portion of the ampoule and the head portion thereof.

Am unteren Randbereich der Platte können Auflageelemente für die Ampullen angeformt sein, die kreisförmige Aussparungen aufweisen, deren Größe im wesentlichen dem Kopfbereich der Ampullen entspricht, so dass jede Ampulle mit einem auf den Kopfbereich folgenden Schulterabschnitt auf dem zugehörigen Auflageelement aufliegt bzw. an diesem anliegt. Die Auflageelemente können über ein Filmscharnier mit der Platte verbunden sein, so dass sie in Anlage an diese gedrückt werden können.At the lower edge region of the plate support elements for the ampoules can be formed, which have circular recesses whose size substantially corresponds to the head region of the ampoules, so that each ampoule rests with a shoulder portion following on the head portion on the associated support element or bears against this. The support elements can be connected via a film hinge with the plate so that they can be pressed into contact with this.

Infolge des muldenförmigen Vorsprungs und des Auflageelementes sind die Ampullen in ihrer Lage sicher an der Platte fixiert.As a result of the trough-shaped projection and the support element, the ampoules are securely fixed in position to the plate.

Das Band, das an einem seitlichen Ende der Platte angeformt ist, hat erfindungsgemäß einen zum freien Ende hin reichenden Abschnitt mit sägezahnförmiger Kontur, mit der das Band in einer Schlüsselloch-ähnlichen Aussparung einer Lasche fixierbar ist, die an dem anderen seitlichen Rand der Platte angeformt ist. Das Band wird dabei mit der sägezahnförmigen Kontur durch den breiten Bereich der Schlüsselloch-ähnlichen Aussparung hindurchgeführt und soweit angezogen, dass die Platte und das Band ringförmig z.B. den Arm oder das Bein des Patienten fest umgreift, wobei das sägezahnförmige Band dann in den schmalen Bereich der Schlüsselloch-ähnlichen Aussparung gezwängt wird, so dass die so gebildete Schlaufe sicher und unverlierbar am Patienten befestigt ist. Auf dieselbe Weise kann die Haltevorrichtung auch an einem z.B. einem Patienten fest zugeordneter Gegenstand (z.B. an dessen Bett) befestigt werden.The band, which is formed at a lateral end of the plate, according to the invention has a reaching to the free end portion with sawtooth contour with which the band is fixable in a keyhole-like recess of a tab formed on the other lateral edge of the plate is. The tape is thereby passed with the sawtooth contour through the wide area of the keyhole-like recess and tightened so far that the plate and the band annularly, for example, the arm or leg of the patient firmly grasps, with the sawtooth band then in the narrow Area of the keyhole-like recess is forced, so that the loop thus formed is securely and captively attached to the patient. In the same way, the holding device can also be fastened to an object, for example, which is permanently assigned to a patient (for example, to its bed).

Die Erfindung sieht eine kostengünstige Aufbewahrungs- und Haltevorrichtung für Laborröhrchen und gegebenenfalls Patientendaten vor, die wegen ihrer geringen Kosten als Einmalartikel oder Wegwerfprodukt benutzt werden kann.The invention provides for a cost-effective storage and holding device for laboratory tubes and, where appropriate, patient data that can be used as disposable or disposable because of its low cost.

Die Haltevorrichtung kann auch von Soldaten mitgeführt werden, deren medizinische Daten mittels des an der Platte befestigten USB-Sticks im Notfall sofort verfügbar sind. Die Platte der Haltevorrichtung kann für militärische Anwendungen mit Solarzellen und einem GPS-Chip versehen sein.The holding device can also be carried by soldiers whose medical data are immediately available in an emergency by means of the USB stick attached to the plate. The plate of the holder can be provided for military applications with solar cells and a GPS chip.

Die Figuren 1A bis 1D zeigen, dass die Haltevorrichtung einen als Platte bezeichneten breiteren Abschnitt 1 aufweist, an dessen seitlichen Enden einerseits ein Band 2 und andererseits eine Lasche 3 einstückig angeformt sind. Die Haltevorrichtung besteht aus einem biegsamen, bevorzugt gummielastischen Material, beispielsweise aus PUR oder thermoplastischem TPE.The Figures 1A to 1D show that the holding device has a wider section 1, referred to as a plate, at its lateral ends on the one hand, a band 2 and on the other hand, a tab 3 are integrally formed. The holding device consists of a flexible, preferably rubber-elastic material, for example of PUR or thermoplastic TPE.

An einer Seite der Platte 1 sind nebeneinander liegend Fixiereinrichtungen für Blutampullen oder sonstige Laborröhrchen 4 angeformt. Diese Fixiereinrichtungen bestehen bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 1 aus Paaren von Klemmarmen 5 mit aufeinander zu weisenden, hakenförmigen Enden 6, zwischen denen jeweils eine Blutampulle oder dergleichen festklemmbar ist. Dabei wird die Blutampulle 4 jeweils gegen schräge Außenflächen 7 der hakenförmigen Enden gedrückt, so dass sich die Klemmarme 5 spreizen und nach Durchgang der jeweiligen Blutampulle 4 um diese mit ihren hakenförmigen Enden 6 wieder schließen.On one side of the plate 1, fixing devices for blood ampoules or other laboratory tubes 4 are formed adjacent to each other. These fixing devices are in the embodiment of the FIG. 1 from pairs of clamping arms 5 with hook-shaped ends 6 facing each other, between each of which a blood ampoule or the like can be clamped. In this case, the blood ampule 4 is pressed in each case against inclined outer surfaces 7 of the hook-shaped ends, so that the clamping arms 5 spread and close after passing through the respective blood ampoule 4 with their hook-shaped ends 6 again.

Bevorzugt über den Klemmarmen ist für jede Blutampulle ein Vorsprung 8 mit einem muldenförmigen Rand an der Platte 1 angeformt, dessen Krümmung im wesentlichen der Rundung der Blutampulle 4 entspricht, so dass sich diese an den muldenförmigen Rand anlegt, wenn sie von den Haltearmen 5 fixiert ist.Preferably, over the clamping arms for each blood ampoule a projection 8 is formed with a trough-shaped edge on the plate 1, whose curvature substantially corresponds to the rounding of the blood ampule 4, so that this applies to the trough-shaped edge when it is fixed by the support arms 5 ,

Außerdem ist unter jedem Paar Haltearme 5 ein Auflageelement 9 angeformt, das eine kreisförmige Aussparung 10 zum Durchtritt des Kopfendes 11 der Blutampullen 4 hat.In addition, under each pair of retaining arms 5, a support element 9 is formed, which has a circular recess 10 for the passage of the head end 11 of the vials 4.

An einer Seite ist im Anschluss an die Fixiereinrichtungen für die Blutampullen 4 eine Tasche 12 angeformt, in die ein USB-Stick in einem leichten Klemmsitz einsteckbar ist. Außerdem hat die Platte 1 hinter den beiden in Figur 1B linken Fixiereinrichtungen 5 einen doppelwandigen Abschnitt 25, in den eine mit dem Bezugszeichen 13 in den Figuren 4B und 4C bezeichnete Patienten-Scheckkarte in einem Klemmsitz einsteckbar ist. Eine freie Endfläche 14 ist zur Beschriftung mit dem Namen des Patienten vorgesehen.On one side, following the fixation devices for the blood ampoules 4, a pocket 12 is formed, into which a USB stick can be inserted in a slight press fit. Also, the plate has 1 behind the two in FIG. 1B Left fixing 5 a double-walled portion 25, in the one with the reference numeral 13 in the Figures 4B and 4C designated patient credit card in a clamped seat is inserted. A free end surface 14 is provided for inscription with the name of the patient.

Zwischen den Fixiereinrichtungen hat die Platte 1 geschwächte Querlinien 15 nach Art von Filmscharnieren, die das Biegen der Platte 1 erleichtern. Im Bereich der doppelwandigen Tasche für die Patienten-Scheckkarte 13 ist keine Schwächungslinie ausgebildet.Between the fixing devices, the plate 1 has weakened transverse lines 15 in the manner of film hinges, which facilitate the bending of the plate 1. In the area the double-walled bag for the patient check card 13 is formed no line of weakness.

Das Band 2 hat einen sich über mehr als die Hälfte erstreckenden, zum freien Ende hin verlaufenden Bereich 16 mit sägezahnförmiger Randkontur und ein sich keilartig verjüngendes Ende 17, das in den breiten Bereich 18 einer Schlüsselloch-ähnlichen Aussparung 19 in der Lasche 3 einsteckbar ist. Zur Befestigung der Haltevorrichtung z.B. am Arm eines Patienten, wird das Band 2 in der Schlüsselloch-ähnlichen Aussparung fest gezogen und dann in den schmalen Bereich 20 gezwängt, so dass die Haltevorrichtung unverlierbar am Arm des Patienten befestigt ist.The band 2 has a more than half extending, the free end extending portion 16 with sawtooth edge contour and a wedge-like tapered end 17, which is in the wide portion 18 of a keyhole-like recess 19 in the tab 3 can be inserted. For fixing the holding device e.g. on the arm of a patient, the band 2 is tightened in the keyhole-like recess and then forced into the narrow area 20, so that the holder is captively attached to the arm of the patient.

Bei der nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform der Figuren 2A bis 2D ist anstelle der Haltearme 5 ein elastisches Band 21 vorgesehen, mit dem alle Blutampullen 4 auf der Platte 22 fixierbar sind. Von der Platte 22 stehen einstückig angeformte Stege 24 ab. An den freien Enden der Stege 24 ist das elastische Band 21 angespritzt. Das Band 21 kann im entspannten Zustand eine nach außen gewölbte Form haben, um eine zu große Spannung in dem Band 21 bei der schlaufenförmigen Befestigung der Haltevorrichtung zu vermeiden. Abgesehen davon, dass das elastische Band 21 die Haltearme 5 ersetzt, entspricht diese Ausführungsform derjenigen der Figur 1.In the non-inventive embodiment of FIGS. 2A to 2D instead of the retaining arms 5, an elastic band 21 is provided with which all blood ampoules 4 can be fixed on the plate 22. From the plate 22 are integrally molded webs 24 from. At the free ends of the webs 24, the elastic band 21 is molded. The band 21 may have an outwardly arched shape in the relaxed state to avoid excessive tension in the band 21 in the looped attachment of the holder. Apart from the fact that the elastic band 21 replaces the retaining arms 5, this embodiment corresponds to that of FIG FIG. 1 ,

Die nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform der Figuren 3A bis 3D enthält an der Platte angeformte Röhrchen 26, deren Boden 27 ein kreisrundes Loch 28 zum Durchtritt des Kopfendes 11 der Ampullen 4 hat. Die Ampullen 4 werden in einen Klemmsitz in die Röhrchen 26 eingesteckt. Die Elemente 8 und 9 der ersten und zweiten Ausführungsform sind hier nicht vorgesehen.The non-inventive embodiment of FIGS. 3A to 3D contains on the plate molded tubes 26, the bottom 27 has a circular hole 28 for the passage of the head end 11 of the ampoules 4 has. The ampoules 4 are inserted into a ferrule 26 in the tubes. The elements 8 and 9 of the first and second embodiments are not provided here.
