Smart Medical Technologies' Smart Test Tube
is a blood collection tube that incorporates an embedded, high capacity RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) chip as a means of
information storage and identification. The RFID chip replaces the
paperwork typically submitted to laboratories with specimens, reduces
the risk of errors associated with key entry and barcode application,
and securely stores event data associated with the transport and
processing of samples.
Furthermore, data written to the memory chip is encrypted to enhance
privacy and security, and the Smart Test Tubes can only be read while
in direct contact with a companion reader device connected via USB to
a computer or electronic clipboard.
In preliminary release, the Smart Test Tubes will be available in
three sizes - large, medium and small, and will each feature a RFID chip physically
implanted into the test tube medium.
