Introdução
Lost equipment, Erros de esterilização ou má gestão de estoque são problemas persistentes na área da saúde. Let’s explore how RFID technology can solve challenges in different healthcare scenarios.
Ponto problemático 1: Tracking surgical instruments in a sterile environment
Hospitals lose 15-20% of surgical tools every year due to manual tracking. Reprocessing errors or lost instruments delay surgery and pose a risk of contamination.
Soluções RFID:
- Autoclavable Tags: Our RFID micro tags can withstand 135°C steam sterilization (autoclaving) and harsh chemicals.
- Real-time Inventory Alerts: Track instrument sets with RFID readers to ensure a complete pre-operative kit.
Ponto problemático 2: Managing High-Value Medical Devices
Portable devices such as infusion pumps or ventilators are often misplaced, costing hospitals more than $2,000 per hour of downtime.
Soluções RFID:
- Rastreamento à prova de adulteração: Ultra-micro tags can be discreetly attached to equipment, enabling room-level geolocation via RFID readers.
- Maintenance Automation: Monitor usage data to schedule preventive maintenance and extend equipment life.
Ponto problemático 3: Ensuring Medication Safety
The wrong or expired medications in the pharmacy or ICU endanger patients and violate compliance standards.
Soluções RFID:
- Micro-tags for Small Items: Embed 2.6mm RFID tags in medication blister packs or IV bags to automatically sound expiration alerts.
- Dose Verification: Integrate RFID with EHR systems to confirm correct medication administration.
Ponto problemático 4: Identificação dos pacientes & Segurança
Manual wristband checks risk errors, especially in high-pressure emergency departments or pediatric wards.
Soluções RFID:
- Disposable Micro-Tags: Hygienic, paper-thin RFID wristbands store patient records and allergy data.
- Contactless Scanning: Nurses can instantly verify identity without disturbing patients.
Ponto problemático 5: Complying with Medical Standards
Regulations such as FDA UDI or EU MDR require detailed device traceability – a burden for manual systems.
Soluções RFID:
- UDI Compliance: Encode manufacturing date, Número do lote, and expiration data directly on RFID tags.
- Audit-Ready Reports: Automatically generate compliance logs for regulators.
Why medical suppliers trust our RFID micro tags?
- Medical-grade materials: biocompatible, latex-free, resistant to blood/chemical exposure.
- Global certifications: ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and RoHS compliant.
- Custom sizes: tags as small as 2.6mm x 2.6mm for delicate instruments or implants.
