Description

  The present invention relates to a sealing seal that conceals identification information such as a barcode attached to a container, and particularly to a sealing seal that is suitable for privacy protection by delamination so that it cannot be restored once it is peeled off.

A test sample for a clinical test or the like is collected by a medical technician at a medical institution, stored in a container, and moved, transported, or transported to a place to be tested. In general, a liquid sample such as blood is contained in a container called a blood collection tube and is transported to an inspection organization.
It is very important that the sample provider is properly identified whenever the test sample is or has been collected in a container.

  Next, the inspection organization performs the instructed inspection on the inspection sample, and reports the inspection result to the medical institution. A medical institution such as a hospital that has received the report of the result normally uses the information for identifying each sample container and the test result for use in diagnosis or the like.

  Thus, in order to take a one-to-one correspondence between a large number of specimens to be inspected and individuals to be inspected, it is beneficial to assign labels each having identification information to both.

  By the way, the information obtained by human genetic analysis and biological sample inspection includes specific information for individuals. For example, the genetic predisposition of the provider or the relative is clarified and depends on the handling. Some aspects may lead to various ethical, legal or social problems.

  Therefore, recently, from the viewpoint of consideration for human dignity and human rights, there has been a strong demand for measures that can sufficiently protect individual privacy ("Ethical Guidelines for Human Genome / Gene Analysis Research (March 2001 “Ministry of Science, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Notification No. 1)” and “Medical Administration No. 390 issued by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, April 2, 2001” See).

  From this point of view, errors such as mistakes in the sample between the subject and the test sample may occur at the time of collection of the test sample or in a medical institution such as a hospital where sufficient consideration can be given to protecting the privacy of individuals. However, when taking out to an external inspection organization, measures that can easily and reliably anonymize the test sample are strong. It has been demanded.

  The present invention is a sealing seal suitable for applying to a sample container used for blood collection, urinalysis, etc. in the medical and insurance hygiene fields for performing such a biopsy, and can sufficiently cope with ethical problems, An object is to provide a seal that can protect privacy.

  In order to achieve the above object, the configuration adopted by the present invention is characterized in that a support layer is stuck on one side of a brittle layer in a non-peelable manner and peeled off on the other side of the brittle layer via an adhesive In the sealing sticker on which the paper is releasably attached, the release paper covers the recording surface in an unreadable manner when the sealing seal is attached, and a part of the brittle layer is recorded on the recording surface when the sealing seal is peeled off. In other words, a cut is formed through the release paper so as not to adhere to the paper.

  Further, in a sealing seal in which a support layer is stuck to one side of the brittle layer so as not to be peeled off, and a release paper is stuck to the other side of the brittle layer through an adhesive, the release paper and A non-adhesive layer covering a part of the adhesive may be provided between the adhesive and the adhesive so that a part of the brittle layer does not adhere to the recording surface when the sealing seal is peeled off.

  With the above configuration, if the sealing seal is peeled off from the surface to be adhered, the evidence that the brittle layer is torn or missing always remains on both the surface to be adhered and the sealing seal. It turns out and becomes a powerful deterrent.

  Here, the cut or non-adhesive layer formed on the release paper covers the part of the adhesive so that the brittle layer breaks and part of it does not adhere to the recording surface. However, since the brittle layer debris does not adhere to the recording surface, the record on the recording surface can be read reliably during inspection by a regular inspection organization or the like.

  According to the present invention, it is suitable to be applied to a sample container used for blood collection, urinalysis, etc. in the medical and insurance hygiene fields in which biopsy is performed, and can sufficiently cope with ethical problems and supports privacy protection. A seal can be provided.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment of a sealing seal according to the present invention. The sealing seal 1 has a structure in which a support layer 2, a brittle layer 3, and a release paper 4 are laminated together, and a recording section 5 is provided on the surface of the support layer 2 opposite to the brittle layer 3. It has been.

  The support layer 2 is for supporting the brittle layer 3, and is stuck to the brittle layer 3 so as not to be peeled off by an adhesive 6 applied to one surface. Moreover, the adhesive 7 for affixing a sealing seal on a to-be-attached surface is apply | coated to the surface on the opposite side to the adhesive 6 of the brittle layer 3. FIG.

  A release paper 4 is adhered to the surface of the sealing seal to which the adhesive 7 is applied, and the adhesive 7 is adhered to an undesired place by the adhesive 7 or dust or the like adheres to the adhesive 7 to reduce the adhesive strength. To prevent it. The release paper 4 is formed of, for example, silicon-treated paper, and can be easily peeled off from the support layer 2 without reducing the adhesive strength of the adhesive 7.

  The brittle layer 3 is formed with a die-cutting portion 8 having a shape such as a character, a figure, or a symbol, and is peeled by a wax layer 9 that weakens adhesive force on the pressure-sensitive adhesive 7 side of the die-cutting portion 8. Attached as possible. On the surface of the release paper 4, a coat layer 10 of polyethylene or silicone that enhances the release effect is formed. Further, the release paper 4 is provided with a cut 11 that penetrates the release paper 4 in the thickness direction.

  Next, the usage method of this sealing seal 1 is demonstrated. Reference numeral 12 in FIG. 3 denotes a container such as a blood collection tube in which a specimen is stored, and a label 13 for giving identification information is attached to the container 12.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the release paper 4 of the sealing seal 1 is peeled off from the outside of the cut 11, and the surface of the support layer 2 to which the adhesive 7 is applied is set to the surface to be attached, and the sealing seal 1 is placed in the container 12. Affixed in a state straddling the upper label 13. At this time, the release paper 4 on the center side remains on the adhesive 7 by the cuts 11 and covers the label 13, thereby preventing the brittle layer 3 from being damaged when the sealing seal 1 is peeled off (FIG. 5).

Next, when the label 13 is read through a regular procedure in an inspection organization or the like, the sealing seal 1 is peeled off from the container 12 (FIG. 6).
The brittle layer 3 is thin and brittle, such as a metal foil or a metal vapor-deposited film, and the die-cutting portion 8 is in contact with the adhesive 7 through the wax layer 9, so that the release paper 4 is peeled off and the object is removed. When peeled from the state of being attached to an object, the brittle layer 3 is easily lost at the die-cut portion 8, and the damaged brittle layer 3 cannot be returned to both the support layer 2 and the surface to be attached. It adheres (FIGS. 7 and 8).

  Therefore, if the sealing seal 1 is peeled off from the surface to be adhered, the fragile layer 3 is always left behind, so that the fact that there has been some peeling action is found, which is a cooperative deterrent.

  Next, FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment, and the feature of this embodiment is that the notch 11 into the release paper 4 extends along the edges of the two sides of the support layer 2 so as to straddle the label 13. It is in shape. Although the present embodiment has the same effects as described above, according to this embodiment, it is easy to apply the sealing seal 1 so as to cover the concealed recording portion (label 13).

  FIG. 10 shows a third embodiment. The feature of this embodiment is that a transparent window portion 14 is formed in a portion straddling the label 13 of the support layer 2 so as to surround the notch 11 into the release paper 4. It is to have done. Also according to the present embodiment, there are substantially the same functions and effects as those of the second embodiment described above.

  FIG. 12 shows that instead of forming the notch 11 in the release paper 4, a part of the brittle layer 3 does not adhere to the recording surface 13 when the sealing seal is peeled between the release paper 4 and the adhesive 7. Further, a film 15 as a non-adhesive layer covering a part of the adhesive 7 is inserted. The film 15 may be a plastic film or a coating film such as a dried or hardened varnish as long as it has a fixed form without stickiness. Also in the present embodiment, the shape of the non-adhesive layer can be modified as in the other embodiments described above.

  The sealing seal of the present invention is not limited to the rectangular shape as shown in the above embodiment, and may have other shapes.

  Further, the release paper 4 is formed so as to protrude only partially from the outer peripheral edge of the brittle layer 3 so that the release paper 4 can be grasped without touching the brittle layer 3 when the release paper 4 is peeled off. Alternatively, at least a part of the outer peripheral edge of the support layer 2 may be formed to protrude from the release paper 4.
