RFID Surgical Instrument and Supply Management in the US

Background

Challenge

Solution

• Real-time RFID verification for improved safety:
  C72 enables rapid identification of tagged surgical supplies, helping staff perform faster inventory checks and reducing the risks associated with manual counting. With support for 1,300+ tag reads per second, the device can quickly process large volumes of medical items during surgical preparation and verification.
• Extended reading capability for flexible medical workflows:
  With a reading range of up to 30 meters, C72 supports efficient item identification across operating rooms, supply areas, and medical storage environments, providing greater flexibility for surgical supply tracking and inventory management.
• End-to-end item tracking:
  The solution records surgical items entering and leaving operating areas, providing clearer visibility into supply usage and movement history.
• Reliable identification in complex environments:
  C72 maintains stable RFID reading performance even when medical supplies are stacked, covered, or placed in challenging conditions, supporting fast verification in demanding healthcare scenarios.
• Faster exception handling with mobile RFID operation:
  RFID tag locating capability helps staff identify specific items more efficiently when inventory discrepancies occur. The portable C72 enables healthcare personnel to perform verification and tracking tasks directly at the point of use.

Result

• Faster surgical item verification by reducing manual counting efforts.
