A blue dye housed in a blister is held adjacent to a micro-porous membrane. Upon squeezing the activation button the dye comes out of the blister and into contact with the membrane. The temperature of the chilled blood bag solidifies the liquid, and thus unable to move through the membrane. If the temperature rises to or above the threshold temperature of 10ºC/50ºF, the dye changes to liquid form, moves through the membrane and indicates a breach when blue dye shows up in the indication window.
