The recently released ANSI/HIBCC 4.0 standard, created by the Health Industry Business Communications Council provides guidance for use of item/package level data formatting for product identification plus recommends high and low frequencies for individual passive RFID tags in hospitals and healthcare settings. Now healthcare systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers can use new systems that combine HF RFID with sensors.Besides the concern that improperly tuned passive UHF systems could interfere with sensitive equipment, 13.56 MHz High frequency (HF) RFID provides a secure proximity read ensuring 100% accuracy on reads that simply cant be achieved with active UHF. HF also provides superior performance on/around liquids and tissues. HF RFID ensures that matching tags to medical equipment and devices does not require complex anti-collision algorithms.However, besides monitoring of identification, healthcare applications and in particular, pharmaceuticals, sensors are used for monitoring of a variety of parameters like temperature, humidity, IR and shock for temperature sensitive materials and equipment. However, those sensors are either hardwired or add to...more
