Choosing the Right RFID Tags for Hospitals: New White Paper by Cisper
Hospitals rely on RFID to track surgical trays, instruments, textiles, medicines and mobile equipment. But not every tag survives autoclaving, gamma sterilization, chemicals or dense metal environments. The result: failed reads, gaps in traceability and compliance risks.
Together with Xerafy, Cisper has published the white paper “How to choose the right RFID tags or labels for hospital and medical asset tracking?” It offers a clear framework to match RFID tags and labels to real hospital workflows – from Sterile Processing Departments (SPD) and loaner sets to pharmacy, textiles and point-of-care equipment.
The paper explains how to evaluate tags in four key areas:
Environmental resistance (autoclave, gamma, chemicals)
Surface compatibility (on-metal, liquids, textiles, curved tools)
Read performance in dense and mobile environments
Attachment methods (adhesive, rivet, screw, sew-in/heat-seal)
A practical checklist links common healthcare use cases to recommended Xerafy tags — all available via Cisper — including autoclavable on-metal tags for surgical trays, washable textile tags for scrubs and linens, and labels for pharmacy and liquid-filled containers.
The result: better survivability, reliable reads, and support for regulations such as FDA UDI and EU MDR.
