RFIDNews | Bio-Trak system tracks blood, organs en route to hospital

Monday, November 2, 2009

Bio-Trak has launched a new system that wirelessly and automatically tracks the temperature and location of blood and organs en route to the hospital.

Under the system all items are fitted with RFID tags that report ambient and core temperature, as well as GPS location. The system automatically creates an audit trail which can be monitored by any computer connected to the internet.

Additionally, when the temperature of the item rises above or falls below preset limits an alarm is automatically triggered.

The system also automatically sends Hospitals alerts when items are due for arrival.

The Basque National Health System has launched a neonatal security system designed to monitor and protect new-born infants using RFID technology.

When a pregnant woman is admitted to hospital, she is provided a tag with a unique identification which can be read in all the maternity zones. When the baby is born, an RFID tag specially designed for the new born is fitted to its ankle. The device monitors the infant 24 hours a day, detecting unauthorized movements, registering entries and exits to and from and enabling immediate location information.
