Gamma-Radiation-Resistant RFID Tag

Adding to its line of RFID tags, a supplier offers a model that is designed for identifying and tracking high-volume items that are subjected to multiple doses of gamma radiation for sterilization purposes. The GammTag 500 handles typical doses of 25 kGy and a cumulative dose of at least 500 kGy with no loss of data. With a form factor of just 4 × 52 mm, the read-only tag uses the globally available 2.45-GHz radio frequency. Available as a bare inlay or as a tag that can be converted into various finished constructions, the product is suitable for high-volume items requiring repeated gamma sterilization, such as orthopedic medical devices and surgical equipment.
