Redefine what's possible for controlling, protecting and streamlining fluid handling processes with RFID-enabled IdentiQuik® couplings. IdentiQuik leverages RFID technology to allow it to not only transfer fluid, but also critical information such as device type, connected media, line connection status, and fluid and product data.

RFID for Dentist !

http://www.rfidjournal.com/articles/view?9605

The Oakland Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, located in Pittsburgh, is utilizing one of Carestream Dental's RVG 6500 digital X-ray sensors, which sends electronic X-ray images to a computer via a Wi-Fi connection. To ensure that the computer displays the correct X-rays for the patient being treated, an optional high-frequency (HF) RFID tag can be attached to each computer used to view the digital X-ray images. In this way, the dental practitioner who took the X-ray images can receive those pictures on his or her computer, in the same room in which that person is working, and can review them without delay, knowing immediately if an image is clear, or whether it needs to be retaken.

Carestream Dental's second and latest product with RFID functionality, released in February of this year, is the CS 7600 model. Instead of using film or an electronic X-ray sensor, the system employs phosphor plates, which are exposed in the same way as traditional X-ray film. The images recorded on the phosphor plates are then scanned, digitized and displayed on a monitor, and are saved to the user's computer. The solution also includes a Scan & Go option, whereby the phosphor plates are embedded with 13.56 MHz RFID inlays, compliant with the ISO 15693 RFID standard,

Tracking dental instruments using RFID

http://dental.columbia.edu/news/cdm-forefront-using-technology-track-dental-instruments

Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (CDM) has implemented an innovative technology-driven program to track dental instruments, believed to be the first of its kind among U.S. dental schools and providing multiple benefits including cost savings, increased efficiency in inventory management and the potential to refine student training in instrument use.

Utilizing radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, the College is tracking 10,000 dental instruments using RFID readers and software supplied by a leading dental instrument company and metal RFID tags developed by a global innovator in metal tag production and design. CDM is the first to use the RFID readers and software in the U.S.

CDM implemented the program in June 2015. Since then, the College also has tagged nearly 1,700 dental instrument cassettes (the cases in which the instruments are stored). As a result, the College has optimized its inventory and storage process, and is able to track every instrument through the sterilization process. Prior to this pilot program, it had been challenging to track instruments with 100 percent accuracy.

"This type of technology allows for complete and accurate tracking of each instrument we use from the time it is dispensed through its utilization, processing, sterilization and return to storage," states Steven M. Erde, PhD, MD, Chief Information Officer at CDM and assistant professor of oral health informatics in dental medicine and oral pathology at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). "Using RFID, we are able to prove that a specific item went into an autoclave for sterilization."

An abstract describing CDM's experience with RFID technology has been accepted as a table presentation at the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Annual Session and Exhibition to be held in Denver this March.

In the near future, CDM plans to use RFID tracking as an educational tool to determine how students are using the instruments.

"With RFID, we will be able to document precisely which instruments students are using, and in what order they are being used," said Dr. Ronnie Myers, professor of dental medicine (oral surgery) at CUMC and vice dean for administrative affairs at CDM. “If a student is using the wrong instrument or in the wrong order, we'll be able to immediately tailor a remedy to that in the preclinical setting.”

To date, approximately half of the instruments used by CDM students have been tagged with RFID technology. Owing to the success of the pilot program and implementation, CDM plans to tag 100 percent of its instrument inventory before the end of 2016. CDM will also evaluate technology advances from innovative partners and suppliers in the U.S. and globally in an effort to continuously improve quality and inventory management.
