摘要
射频识别(RFID)是一项新兴技术,对优化错综复杂的供应链至关重要。虽然 RFID 在医疗保健和制药领域的潜在效益巨大,但在这些领域的应用却进展缓慢。令人惊讶的是,对医药产品及其包装的 RFID 性能的研究十分有限。本研究旨在利用预先优化的超高频(UHF)RFID 标签,探索不同液体药物配方对 RFID 性能的影响。研究对象包括水、生理盐水和脂质等五种不同的药物配方,以及作为对照组的去离子水(DI)和空药瓶。产品被转移到不同的小瓶中,每个小瓶都贴有预先优化的 UHF RFID 标签。性能评估包括阈值扫描、方向扫描和群体分析,以评估标签的可读性,重点是灵敏度、反向散射和理论读取范围。结果表明,在受控的无反射环境中,不同药物配方的成分对 RFID 标签的可读性有很大影响。这些发现为设计智能包装以提高 RFID 标签药品的可读性提供了宝贵的见解。
Exploring the correlation between drug formulation and radio frequency performance in RFID-enabled pharmaceutical products
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a burgeoning technology pivotal for optimizing intricate supply chains. Although its potential benefits in healthcare and pharmaceuticals are substantial, RFID implementation in these sectors has been slow-moving. Surprisingly, limited research has probed RFID performance on pharmaceutical products and their packaging. This study aims to explore the influence of diverse liquid drug formulations on RFID performance, utilizing a pre-optimized Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID tag. Five distinct drug formulations, encompassing water, saline, and lipids, were studied, alongside deionized (DI) water and empty vials as control subjects. The products were transferred to separate vials, each affixed with a pre-optimized UHF RFID tag. Performance evaluations, including Threshold Sweep, Orientation Sweep, and Population Analysis, were conducted to assess tag readability, focusing on sensitivity, backscatter, and theoretical read range. The results underscore how the composition of different pharmaceutical drug formulations significantly impact RFID tag readability in a controlled, reflection-free environment. These findings provide valuable insights for designing intelligent packaging to enhance the readability of RFID-tagged pharmaceutical products.
