Aethon ATRS Does NOT Interfere with Hospital Medical Equipment
July 3, 2008
Addressing critical safety concerns outlined in a study in the June issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Aethon, Inc. has announced that its robotic Asset Tracking and Recovery System (ATRS) cannot interfere with medical equipment. The study from the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, was designed to assess and classify incidents of electromagnetic interference by radio frequency identification (RFID) on critical care equipment. The article titled “Electromagnetic Interference from Radio Frequency Identification Inducing Potentially Hazardous Incidents in Critical Care Medical Equipment” appears in the June 25, 2008 issue of JAMA. Using RFID technology that emits zero power, Aethon's readers and portals only listen for tags and stop the radios and antennae from interfering with clinical equipment because the system employs a mobile robot outfitted with a passive antenna.
