RFID Products For Hospital

Key words: On metal RFID tag, medical Wristband, Surgical tools tracking， Pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting

As a potential technology of identification,the RFID could benefit us a lot,the patience,the doctor/nurse and the management. Let us see more details.

First ,we need to know the application scenarios, then we could know, what problem we’re facing, the last come to how it work.

 Application scenarios:

1),Pharmacy.(Items need to use medicine & pharmaceuticals)

We need to locate the medicine quickly, and the details information (Factory,quantity,expiration time etc)

2),Operating room.(Surgical tools)

Surgical tools like scalpels, scissors, clamps, and retractors. For the nurse, who’s in charge of the preparing the operation. The top priority is making sure the surgical tools has been properly handled, like sterilization and in the right place .

3),Baby care room &X-ray rooms etc.(patience & Staff)

The newborn baby almost has the same appearance, this will confuse their parents. They’re lovely baby but which one is mine? For the place like the X-ray room, the authorize person has the right to entry.

Solve problems:

*As For the items.

Through the RFID technology,we could know the information,like:

Locations :where are the items stored.

Quantity:Accuracy data how many has been left.

Date:Especially the expired date,the blood or the medicine related to life-saving or the prescription.

*As For the persons.

Locations:Regardless of the cost,the active RFID is also a perfect way to have the Real time location information. However,with the development of the passive RFID technology,indoor localization has come true too.Through the RFID ,we could know where the patience is .

Identification:As a electronic method,RFID enable us having a more private way to encoding our personal information.Like the PMH,age,weight etc.What’s more ,through this,we have a quick check in and out!No more to stand in a long queue.

How it works ,from the hardware application perspective.

1),Pharmacy.

UHF RFID Label+RFID Reader+Antenna/A integrated cabinet

Pharmaceutical factory would attach the RFID label to the medicine,when comes to the expensive one,considering the anti-counterfeit. Blood also needs the RFID label, this is more security technology method.It’s free for you to use a handheld reader to scan the label,then you will know the details,from the factory to the pharmacy,every process.

2),Operating room

On metal RFID tag+handheld RFID reader(PDA).

The little on metal RFID tag could help identify the tools,what's more, the necessary of the process,like sterilization.The tag could encode the process.

3),Baby care room & X-ray rooms etc.

RFID wristband+Fixed RFID reader+Antenna

This parts is more like a double check,the RFID technology is parts it.Biological recognition-facial,fingerprints.But none of them could take the place of the RFID as a quick check in/out and payments.

Simply speaking ,RFID label could be attached to any items,coming to liquid-filled items,this’s a big challenge ,but there’s still a way out.There’s a no doubt the RFID could enable us have more convenience and pleasant hospital environment. Still,in front of us there’s more complicated challenge.
