Protect patients and streamline OR workflows from start to finish. Our RFID instrument tracking automates verification between the sterile processing department (CSSD) and the operating theatre—cutting out manual count errors, speeding up room turnover, and ensuring full compliance with EU MDR and UDI standards.

In partnership with Caretag, we bring together medical-grade RFID tags, robust scanning hardware, and an AI-driven platform to give hospitals complete visibility over their surgical inventory.

Cycle de traçabilité des instruments chirurgicaux

Why automate surgical instrument tracking?

Guaranteed tray completeness: Scan whole trays in seconds at the packing bench or RUMED—making sure every kit is 100% complete before entering sterilization.
Tighter patient safety: Link instrument sets directly to electronic patient files in the OR and verify counts post-op to eliminate retained-object risks.
Complete lifecycle visibility: Track each tool’s journey, usage counts, and wear through decontamination, storage, and transport so you can service or replace items before they fail.
Effortless compliance: Automatically generate GS1-aligned digital audit trails that keep your facility aligned with EU MDR, UDI, and local regulatory standards.

An End-to-End Hospital RFID Solution

An end-to-end ecosystem engineered specifically for the demands of the healthcare sector:

Micro-étiquettes RFID sur ciseaux chirurgicaux

Micro-RFID Tags

Patented miniature tags designed to embed directly into precision surgical instruments—providing lifetime traceability without compromising balance, grip, or ergonomics.

Étiquettes RFID spécialisées dans un autoclave

Specialized RFID Labels

Rugged, sterilization-resistant labels built to endure repeated autoclaving, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures on trays, baskets, and transport containers.

Smart RFID Hardware

High-performance fixed scanners and handheld readers that integrate seamlessly into packing benches, doorways, and transit portals for automated, hands-free tracking across the hospital.

Management Software

An intuitive, user-friendly platform that connects with your Hospital Information System (HIS) to deliver real-time asset tracking, predictive maintenance alerts, and actionable utilization insights.

Facility-Wide Traceability

Visibility shouldn't stop at the operating room doors. Brady’s RFID ecosystem scales across your entire facility to monitor mobile medical devices, hospital beds, and high-value supplies in real time. For surgical instruments requiring a non-RFID approach, our permanent Direct Part Marking (DPM) laser technology ensures dependable, long-term 2D data-matrix identification.
