UHF-Band RFID Tag

Application Examples

• Health care: Management of surgical instruments and specimens
• Industry/Factory Automation: Molding tool management, fixture tool management
• Parts management (automotive, electronic devices), module/board management (applicable reflow process)

Withstands Autoclaving (on Medical Instruments) *

*RFID tag on surgical instrument

Kyocera’s RFID tags possess superior heat, water, and chemical resistance. Designed to withstand autoclaving and various cleaning fluids.*
*Based on Kyocera test results. (See below)
