Abstract
Hospital use a variety of medical equipment (ME). Some of this equipment, such as infusion pumps and syringe pumps, are regularly moved around the hospital ward. Occasionally this equipment can get misplaced. The equipment can be moved if the locations are detected automatically. However, battery-less identification media is necessary. Authors newly developed battery-less, 950MHz passive RFID tag with a range of approximately 11 meters. In this study, identification area of the tag attached to infusion pump is verified in hospital. Identification area is enough to detect the ME device with tag. It is considered that the ME equipment in hospital can be managed inclusively by the new RFID tag.
