Clinical RFID Tagging

RFID tag will be used as marker for surgery. ...

... "This device and associated clinical techniques promise a major advance for patients and their doctors. Since lesions can be marked days or weeks prior to surgical biopsy, the scheduling of the localization procedure and surgical procedure can be uncoupled, a great advance in logistics and workflow. Surgeons will have the potential benefit of active intra-operative localizations, and pathologists may be able to use the tag to help guide tissue inspection.

We are hopeful that multiple tags may allow bracketing of lesions. We believe that the SenoRx RFID procedure will also offer the advantages of no radiation and the capacity for the surgeon to inspect the breast pre-operatively at any time after the RFID tag is implanted using the detector/reader in order to confirm that the RFID tag is easily detectable from the skin surface and to help plan the best surgical approach. The detector/reader includes a pencil-like probe that is used intra-operatively to pinpoint the location of the tag. " ...

SenoRx RFID Medical Tag

SenoRx will use the Congress of The Radiological Society of North America to study the market for its new radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for medical applications. ...

... "SenoRx will be conducting market research for its new RFID tag and accompanying handheld reader which the company believes may be the next generation lesion localization device. The company recently submitted a 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Because the RFID tag is completely contained inside the breast, SenoRx believes that the close schedule coordination which is currently required between the radiologist and the surgeon performing the two separate procedures is significantly reduced.
