Medical Device With Radio Frequency Identification Component
Application US20260100258A1 Kind: A1 Apr 09, 2026
Inventors
Ashley Rachel Rothenberg, Kevin M. Ryan
Abstract
A system may include a medical device, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tear tag attached to the medical device, wherein the RFID tear tag includes an RFID circuit and an electrical component electrically connected to the RFID circuit, wherein the electrical component comprises a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion and the second portion are configured to be separable, wherein, when the electrical component is in a first state, the first portion and the second portion of the electrical component are electrically coupled and the RFID circuit is configured to provide a first signal, and wherein, when the electrical component is in a second state, the first portion and the second portion of the electrical component are not electrically coupled, and the RFID circuit is configured to provide a second signal.
