Abstract
The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) equipment in the clinical setting has become prevalent. The exploration of the potential interactions between the equipment used to implement RFID and medical devices is vital to ensure safe and effective use of both the tracking technology and the patient care equipment. This study examines the effects of two common RFID antennas, Near-Field and Far-Field, and five general types of patient care equipment. Data were collected regarding the function of the patient care equipment in the fields of the antennas. No device performance alterations were observed.Entities:
