Imagine a scene in a hospital: doctors, nurses and medical equipment shuttle back and forth between wards. This huge system must operate efficiently and accurately to ensure life safety. In modern society, there is an "invisible hand" - RFID, which ensures that every step of the hospital operation system is accurately recorded.

Let's take a look at how different RFID technologies are applied to key areas of hospitals.

1. Patient management: patient wristbands (high-frequency RFID)

Patient identity confusion, busy emergency admissions, and the correct matching of mothers and newborns are huge challenges. Even the slightest mistake can have serious consequences. RFID technology provides an effective solution - patient wristbands.

Patient admission: After the patient wears the wristband, his information can be associated within seconds, reducing registration time and errors.

"Five-accurate" monitoring: After the nurse scans the patient's wristband, the system immediately confirms the correct patient, drug, dosage, route of administration and time.

Mother-baby connection: Mothers and babies wear matching high-frequency wristbands to establish a secure digital connection to avoid confusion.

Protect patients: For patients with dementia or young children, the wristband can trigger an alarm when they mistakenly enter a dangerous area.

There are many types of patient wristbands on the market, and the patient identification wristbands produced by Meihe are among the best. Made of soft and durable materials, these wristbands focus on wearing comfort and will not tear or feel uncomfortable even if worn for a long time. Its non-transferable and tamper-proof characteristics ensure the safety of patients.

2. Equipment Management: ABS RFID Tags (UHF RFID)

If the patient wristband (HF RFID) is a precise "handshake", then another RFID product, ABS RFID Tags (UHF RFID), can achieve "attendance" for each device.

Real-time Location (RTLS): As long as the reader is placed in the right place, the hospital becomes a real-time map. Staff can instantly find the nearest available equipment through a computer or tablet.

Quick Inventory: Staff can simply walk along the corridor with an ultra-high frequency (UHF) reader to count all tagged items in the room without looking.

Improve Utilization: Track the frequency of equipment use, identify underutilized assets, and help make smart planning and procurement decisions.

Equipment maintenance: RFID tags can store data such as the last maintenance date and automatically mark equipment that needs maintenance to prevent unexpected failures.

Meihe's UHF anti-metal ABS RFID tags use ABS shells and internal resin encapsulation. They are corrosion-resistant, thermally stable, waterproof, and anti-magnetic, which can improve the durability and reliability of components. At the same time, they have excellent and stable identification performance and a reading distance of up to 8 meters.

3. Drug and medical device management: hybrid RFID solutions

Expired drugs, surgical implants, or shortages of key materials can have serious consequences.

The hybrid RFID strategy cleverly solves the above problems:

For bulk goods: UHF RFID tags on boxes and pallets can quickly verify receipt and shipment.

Single product management: Single box RFID tags help manage surgical implants, specialty drugs, and controlled drugs.

Smart warehouses: Smart cabinets and shelves with built-in RFID readers can track removed items for timely replenishment and mark items that are about to expire.

Surgical precision: In the operating room, RFID can automatically track surgical instruments and implants, reducing the risk of lost items.

Anti-counterfeiting: RFID tags on pharmaceuticals can effectively prevent counterfeit and substandard drugs from entering the supply chain.

Meihe launched an RFID tag which is very suitable for use in the above scenarios. These tags are equipped with a spring lock and cannot be removed once worn, making it convenient for hospital staff to identify each patient and arrange treatment plans correctly. This wristband is adjustable in size and does not need to be customized according to different age groups, so it fits the wrist size of most people.

By choosing the right operating frequency—high frequency (HF) for personalized patient care, ultra-high frequency (UHF) for asset management, and a hybrid approach for complex supply chains—RFID is helping hospitals create safer and more efficient healthcare environments for everyone.
