Patient Safety Through Real-Time Traceability
 

Healthcare institutions rely on accurate specimen and medication tracking to deliver safe patient care. Manual labeling and barcode systems remain error-prone, creating risks for specimen mix-ups and medication administration errors. Arizon RFID inlays and tags enable instant specimen identification, digital patient record integration, and real-time medication traceability—eliminating critical errors, ensuring regulatory compliance, and protecting patient safety.

50%

of all preventable harm in healthcare is medication-related, driven by prescribing and monitoring errors.1

76%

of laboratory errors occur in the preanalytical phase (specimen handling & labeling).2

54%

Digital health technology interventions reduce medication errors by an average of 54.38%. 3

Digital Integration & Real-Time Monitoring

Arizon RFID inlays are the foundation of specimen digitization. When specimens are tagged with our inlays, data automatically integrates into hospital EHR/HIS systems—eliminating manual entry and errors. 

Hospitals implementing RFID specimen tracking achieved a 93% reduction in labeling errors, with 0.12% error rates versus 0.87% for non-RFID systems*.

Blood Specimen Tracking Through Real-Time Traceability

Laboratory specimen identification remains error-prone—lost tubes, smudged labels, and misidentification compromise patient safety. Arizon RFID tags embedded in blood tubes enable real-time tracking from collection to testing. 

Our compact, durable tags are specifically designed to perform reliably on liquid-filled tubes in medical environments where traditional barcodes fail.

Pharmacy Inventory Through Real-Time Tracking

US mid-size hospital pharmacies waste USD$100,000-$200,000 annually* on expired medications alone. Manual tagging and data entry errors compound the problem.

Arizon RFID tags embedded on medication containers automate this workflow. When medications are tagged with our compact inlays, inventory data integrates directly into hospital pharmacy systems for real-time visibility of drug location, usage, and expiration dates, preventing medication wastage and eliminate manual data entry errors.

GS1 Compliant*

Hospitals demand GS1-compliant RFID tags to ensure interoperability across their supply chains and meet regulatory requirements like the DSCSA. 

Arizon RFID Tags are GS1-compliant, encoding Electronic Product Code (EPC) standards for seamless integration with hospital systems, pharmacy networks, and medical device suppliers. Use Arizon RFID Tags with confidence—built to healthcare's strictest GS1 compliance standards for reliable traceability and regulatory adherence.
