By bringing the benefits of radio frequency identification technology to the medical industry, 3M is helping healthcare facilities take control of file tracking and management. Our easy-to-use system gives you the tools you need to systematically track, locate, and manage files -- quickly and easily.

The medical field including medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and other related businesses benefit from the 3M Tracking system for tracking files from clinical trials, patient studies, etc. that they are required to retain for long extended periods of time or forever. Sourcing the files when they are needed with 3M's Tracking System saves time, energy and stress by having up-to-date location information on every file that is maintained.

Track and manage critical files

The 3M™ RFID Tracking System includes software tags, a pad, and a handheld tracker. Each tag is a paper-thin label that electronically identifies all files within range of a reader.

Unlike barcodes, scanning does not require a physical line of sight. Staff can process many tagged files at once, and tags can be read through folders. The tracking pad is a networked device that programs tags, identifies files, and checks items in and out. The portable handheld tracker allows staff to quickly read tags, inventory offices and work areas, and update file locations on the server. The device also locates misfiled items on shelves (or in storage) and indicates where they should be re-filed. A complete file history is available on any connected computer.

Improve productivity

On its own or integrated with existing technology, the 3M RFID Tracking System provides the tools and technology healthcare facilities need to work effectively and quickly access vital information. More efficient than barcoding, the 3M system lets you locate and check out multiple files at the same time, with the wave of a handheld device. File movement is tracked with the patient as they travel around a hospital or clinic by using the tracking pads placed at convenient check in locations. Along with increased productivity, the system eliminates the cost of recreating missing files, and provides a great return on investment. Discover what 3M can do for you.
