RFID Surgical Instrument Tracking Tags SS-21

Surgical instruments are often lost or misused, among which the most common is medical gauze, steel wire, surgical instruments and so on. These devices are too small to be found, and sometimes they are left in the patient's body, causing serious medical errors. In order to avoid these errors, all instruments used must be re-inventoried after the procedure, and in the event of a lost instrument, the medical staff must find it before the procedure is terminated, and the time spent searching for the lost instrument can incur a clinical cost of $150- $500 per minute.

The time spent to check instruments and equipment before and after surgery is even longer than the surgical process, so shortening the inspection time of surgical instruments and improving management efficiency can help hospitals save a lot of unnecessary costs.

The many conveniences RFID technology brings to patients and medical personnel are self-evident. Tracking equipment through RFID technology enables medical personnel to understand the status of asset maintenance, calibration, cleaning and disinfection anytime and anywhere, and update this information in real time.

RTEC pioneered the smallest RFID tags and RFID surgical instruments tags and present--SS21, with a reading and writing distance of 2 meters, and the ultra-small size of the tag can be easily put on the surgical instrument to play a stable reading performance without causing obstacles to use. The smallest RFID chip SS21 is designed to fully meet U.S. ISO-10993 and FCC standard Part 15.231a, and has been tested to withstand around 1,000 autoclaves.

The development of the smallest RFID sticker has paved the way for innovative applications, particularly in surgical instrument tracking and managing medical devices within healthcare facilities.

The introduction of the smallest RFID tags has opened up new possibilities for improving the tracking and management of surgical instruments in hospital settings. With smallest passive RFID tag--SS21, each instrument can be equipped with a unique RFID tag, allowing for precise and automated identification, tracking, and monitoring throughout the entire surgical process. This means that hospital staff can easily locate and verify the availability and usage history of specific instruments, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and reduced risk of misplaced or lost equipment.

Beyond surgical instrument tracking, SS21 has also become instrumental in managing medical devices across healthcare environments. The ultra small RFID tags can be seamlessly integrated into various types of medical equipment, ranging from infusion pumps to portable monitoring devices, enabling healthcare providers to monitor usage, maintenance schedules, and location information with precision and ease. This level of visibility and control is paramount for ensuring that medical devices are always in optimal working condition and readily accessible to support patient care.

In summary, the advent of the mini RFID tag has brought forth transformative opportunities for advancing healthcare practices, particularly in the domains of RFID surgical instrument tracking and RFID in medical industry. By harnessing the power of RFID technology, healthcare providers can enhance patient safety, streamline operational processes, and uphold regulatory standards with greater precision and efficiency. As the healthcare industry continues to embrace technological innovations, RFID stands out as a valuable tool for driving positive changes and elevating standards of care for patients. It is evident that RFID technology is not only the key to unlocking operational efficiencies but also to ensuring the delivery of safe and effective healthcare services. RTEC, one of the top RFID tag companies will continue to explore new RFID tag applications in the medical field.
