Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus to monitor component status in a bioprocessing environment are disclosed and described. Certain examples provide a sensor device for a disposable bioprocessing component. The example sensor device includes a first portion affixed to the component, the first portion configured to provide an identifier associated with the component. The example sensor device also includes a second portion configured to provide a status indication based on a state of the component. The example sensor device is configured to transmit the identifier and status indication to a control computer associated with a bioprocessing platform including the component.

Claim (Index 1):
A bioprocess component comprising:\n a manually operable tubing clamp positionable relative to a flexible fluid tube into a first position for closing the flexible fluid tube by squeezing, or a second position allowing flow within the flexible fluid tube; the manually operable tubing clamp further comprising: a sensor device operable to (i) monitor an actuation status of the manually operable tubing clamp with respect to the flexible fluid tube wherein the actuation status is indicative of the manually operable tubing clamp being in the first position or the second position, and (ii) indicate to an external control system when the manually operable tubing clamp is in the first position or the second position; and an identifier to identify said the manually operable tubing clamp to the external control system; wherein the sensor and identifier form part of an RFD circuit for remote communication with said external control system, wherein the external control system is arranged to prompt an action based on the transmitted identifier and status indication, the action comprising at least one of a confirmation, an alert, an alarm, a recording, an instruction to change configuration of the component, and a change in operation of the control system.
