RFID Steri-ThermoTAG™ – Autoclave-Resistant RFID Thermal-Transfer Labels
RFID technology has been incorporated into autoclave-resistant thermal-transfer labels to make a UHF RFID label suitable for the identification of various containers and surfaces that undergo steam and dry heat sterilization. RFID Steri-ThermoTAG™ labels are robust UHF RFID labels designed for autoclave procedures, combining printed visual information with encoded RFID data, making them an appealing solution for RFID identification and tracking of sterilized consumables, devices, and containers.
These flexible RFID labels have a permanent adhesive, suitable for direct application onto curved or flat plastic and glass surfaces while withstanding multiple autoclave sterilization cycles (+121°C/+250°F, 16.5 psi pressure, 20 minutes). Using an RFID thermal-transfer printer and our recommended smudge-proof RR-class of ink ribbons, these passive UHF RFID labels (Class 1, Gen 2) can be printed and RFID encoded with up to 32 hexadecimal characters of data.
Benefits:
- 12” omnidirectional read range* ensures easy scanning from all angles
- Scan multiple containers, even without a clear line-of-sight**
- Printable and encodable with UHF RFID thermal-transfer printers
F- lexible UHF inlay allows permanent adhesion to a variety of surfaces such as plastic and glass
- Temperature resistance from -60°C to +150°C (-76°F to +302°F) for long exposure and short-term up to +230°C/+446°F for 3 hours
- Ideal for multiple standard autoclave sterilization cycles (+121°C/+250°F, 16.5 psi pressure, 20 minutes)
