A Blood Transfusion Kit is a device invented by medical science teams in Mazeworld, allowing an user on the field to perform a blood transfusion on himself/herself. It consists of several elements:

  • The bag of blood, full of universal donor O- blood
  • A protective cover made of plastic to prevent the bag of blood from being crushed or pierced
  • An injector connected to the bag of blood
  • Several stabilization straps to "wear" the kit while the transfusion starts
  • An electronic device that allows the user to know how many blood units are left in his/her body, in the bag, and when to stop pumping blood into himself/herself.

The BTK is designed to be worn on the user's arm, so that the blood bag remains upright and the user injects himself/herself with its contents while remaining compact enough to be carried in a backpack.

Strategy

Much like how bandages are very simple to use, in case the user lost too many blood units, apply BTK to refill or partially refill those units. BTK applied, problem solved. It is suitable in cases of emergencies if a medic is too far away or unreachable.
There is enough blood in each BTK to refill up to 5 units maximum. Once a BTK has been opened and used, it must be discarded even if blood remains in the bag, to avoid contamination. A BTK cannot be refilled either for the same reasons.

Being a medical aid with a unique shape, it does not require identification.
