RFID for Clinical Scientists

Clinical scientists are faced with using a technology solution that can:

  • Monitor location of critical medical devices instantly
  • Provide staff with quicker access to life-saving equipment
  • Provide productive and efficient wards
  • Ensure patient care is the key priority


Manually locating resources such as ECG monitors, infusion pumps and other high value medical equipment is a headache hospital staff can do without. Clinical and Technical staff use their time ineffectively looking for missing equipment, which forces hospitals to increase levels of leasing or purchasing to replace mislaid apparatus. The knock-on effect of this is patients can experience inadequate service.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging is increasingly regarded as an effective way of addressing these problems. By enabling a hospital’s Wireless Local Area Infrastructure (LAN) to actively track tagged equipment, this can provide the visibility and control needed to enable medical staff and clinicians to provide efficient and effective patient care.
