RFID medical device disinfection realizes automation

For medical workers, surgical instrument management has always been a highly maintained concern. During storage, collection, cleaning, disinfection and surgery, these instruments are often small in size and can be easily lost. Most medical institutions have set up professional instrument disinfection service centers or supply departments to disinfect medical instruments. Various surgical instrument packages, preparation of equipment required for surgery, management and rental of medical equipment, and acquisition or purchase of instruments and implants. RFID technology can effectively collect and record item information quickly, forming electronic Files, informationization, and automated management.

RFID can help Hospitals manage processes well. By installing electronic tags on each instrument, it provides a real-time, accurate, and automated electronic information recording method. RFID does not require hospitals to introduce new process systems. It can seamlessly connect to the hospital's existing system processes and provide relevant file information for each link in the process. The entire system can also be automatically updated when the instrument is repaired or maintained.

Preventing surgical infection is a matter of great concern to all medical institutions. The hospital supply department can indeed reduce and avoid the occurrence of infection through automated disinfection management processes, ensuring that all surgical instruments are strictly disinfected and dried, and are properly Stored and used. RFID can realize the automated management of the entire disinfection process and optimize the rental management procedures of instruments and equipment.

RFID technology achieves the main functions:

1. In the preoperative disinfection and supply department, the cleaning of surgical instruments requires multiple processes. Omissions in the procedures may lead to safety hazards. The introduction of regulatory measures for RFID automatic identification technology can effectively solve this problem.

2. Surgical instruments can be packaged and classified, and the packaging and classification of surgical instruments can be detected by RFID Readers to find possible omissions in the packaging process;

3. Operating room equipment management, intraoperative management mainly includes preoperative examination, postoperative examination, and doctor confirmation. Each link needs to be accurately identified to avoid the serious consequences of the loss of surgical instruments for patients;

4. Comprehensive information management, statistical query, and reporting system.

If the hospital rents medical equipment and equipment that it does not intend to purchase for the time being, the hospital supply department must also clean and disinfect the equipment, and identify it through RFID to ensure that the equipment is properly maintained and preserved. Therefore, applying RFID technology to these instruments can also improve the utilization rate and management efficiency of the instruments.

The hospital uses RFID technology to automate the control of surgical instruments in all directions, reducing the manual counting of trays and instruments, and instead automatically collects instruments with RFID electronic tags within the reading range through RFID readers. These data can be used to analyze blind spots and defects in the management process, promoting quality improvement and optimization of medical device management.
