German hospital uses RFID to track blood

Blood bank supplies at Saarbruecken Clinic from now onwards will be equipped with RFID chips so to prevent any confusion or mix ups in regard to blood transfusion and blood treatments. In a joint effort Siemens, Intel, Fujitsu and IMP Computersysteme will continue with the research at Saarbruecken Clinic. In the first phase, almost thousand bags of bloods are being labeled. The solution makes it sure that correct blood is given to each patient. Siemens is acting as the major contractor for the project.
