Abstract

A blood bag of the present invention comprises a blood collection container; a tube communicating with the blood collection container and provided with a blood collecting needle at its distal end; and a blood collecting tube receiving member attached to the tube detachably or movably along the tube. Before labels are stuck on, a blood collecting tube into which blood has been collected from this blood bag is not confused with another blood collecting tube into which blood has been collected from another blood bag, or after labels are stuck on, blood is not collected from another blood bag into a blood collecting tube in which has been stuck a label having the same as serial number as a label stuck on this blood bag, so as to avoid a danger that blood having an infectious disease is transfused for mistaking it for safe blood.
