Integration of RFID Technologies and Medical Devices to be Presented on June 24

8:00 – 10:00 a.m.
Mass. Medical Society
Waltham, Mass.




Radio frequency identification (RFID) is already proving it can cut costs by enabling more efficient and timely tracking of goods in industrial and retail supply chains. Similarly, the health care community is now seeing benefits in shipping and receiving efficiency, as well as patient identification error reduction at point of care, medications management and real-time asset tracking.

Today, RFID offers the ability to improve patient care by utilizing the latest medical applications, including:

· Implanting RFID chips inside surgical instruments to insure that they are not left inside a patient;

· Affixing RFID labels onto surgery patients to confirm their identity and the exact procedure to be performed;

· Tracking the disposal of hazardous medical waste; and

· Tagging patients with RFID chips containing complete medical histories

This seminar will include presentations by RFID experts and medtech company CEOs deploying RFID technology in their products. Come to this session and learn more about this exciting technology and its applicability to medtech.
