Work to improve the maintenance of medical devices, reduce missing state, wet benevolence company of medical treatment system is putting active RFID tag in succession in wheelchair, aerobic bottle and other on the medical devices that wants hire to give a customer.

On July 25, 2006, the medical jobber of ministry of Chinese and Western of an United States wets benevolence company of medical treatment system RFID label stickup on the medical devices that give to a lot of hire or sells a customer, through using RFID label, company and client are OK better dog the product of inventory is safeguarded regularly with what assure a product.

This company uses the active label of 915MHz in injector, appearance of portable nuclear magnetic resonance, wheelchair, aerobic bottle, decrease automatically quiver implement, go up with other medical devices. Every label has an UID identification code, with wet benevolence the electron that company of medical treatment system offers tracks software WrenTrack to undertake form a complete set is used, renTrack records the lifecycle of below each product, such families nurse the supplier of the product and user can track these products to be sent what place, at the same time OK also monitoring clean and defend the work of these products. Now, the application of RFID label is a form to piled up a system to increase additional protection, ensured medical treatment instrument can be produced according to the regulation, clean, safeguard and store.

Current, wet benevolence the user of the company is applied hold infra-red read write implement a form code label that scanning deposits the medical devices in checkpoint to go up. For example, begin an examination to be about to send toward a in patient home to be decreased automatically when a worker quiver implement when, he is used read write implement come to this scan decrease automatically quiver implement a form code that go up, read write implement feedback gives a form code information that scans the computer all round, show the result of a series of problems through WrenTrack software come. These problems include the worker‘s name, why will check this medical devices, this medical devices will carry where. If equipment is about to undertake expectant maintenance checking, employee also can be in be informed for a short while. After adding RFID label, supervisory job becomes very simple: If an employee forgets a form code on equipment of scanning medical treatment, or the information in software already by cram, when the instrument by move when, an installation is read in the RFID of checkpoint write implement can read the RFID label that takes medical treatment instrument to go up, call the police to WrenTrack system, and have on all computers that run this software show.

Wet benevolence company of medical treatment system has all give renting the droit of the medical devices of the user. So the company hopes to undertake supervisory to store and be being safeguarded of those medical devices. WrenTrack software is a software that is based on a network, can make wet benevolence company of medical treatment system dogs easily all medical devices that come from headquarters.

Ward says: To most user, one is read write implement can offer read enoughly take range. Each are read write implement the network server join that contains IP address with, wet so benevolence company of medical treatment system can dog through the position of the user RFID is read write implement the position. Ward is offerred for the user be installed in the round and debug. WrenTrack system, form code scanner and RFID hardware can choose to be offerred by Wrenmedical, the user needs to pay only can. Wet benevolence company of medical treatment system is in charge of debugging software, install equipment, according to the user the requirement undertakes constructional. So far, wet benevolence company of medical treatment system has run WrenTrack system in about 200 places, ward says the company already installed RFID system then in a few users, but reject to make detailed introduction.

Wet benevolence company of medical treatment system believed to apply RFID technology to be able to think the company also is an user to improve asset management, ward says " since had RFID, if any medical treatment equipment without scanning left some site, we are met know for a short while.
