The study, which was completed in March 2008, tested 25 common
medical devices resulting in 1600 performance assessments. In all
cases, the devices performed as expected and no interference from
the passive RFID devices was observed.
"This is great news for healthcare facilities. The results of this
study make it clear that passive RFID is safe around common medical
devices," says BlueBean President Gregg Maggioli. "RFID systems to
manage inventory, track items and assist in patient billing can be
used without any adverse effects on equipment."
As hospitals and other healthcare facilities nationwide are looking
to improve efficiency and cut costs while providing better patient
care, RFID solutions are becoming more and more prevalent.
"BlueBean
has a number of options available to assist healthcare providers
with using passive RFID to track supplies and pharmaceuticals in the
hospital environment," adds Maggioli. "This study eliminates
concerns that these facilities may have with using RFID."
