Adoption Increases for VeriTeQ's "Q Inside" Breast Implant Safety Technology
"It has only been a few months since the initial launch of EL's Motiva Implant Matrix(R) breast implants with our Q Inside Safety Technology in Europe, and we are receiving positive feedback from both physicians and patients alike. We are very pleased that EL has placed an order for additional microtransponders, which, we believe signals their faith in the continued adoption of our companies' technologies."
VeriTeQ Receives Order for More Than 10,000 Q Inside Safety Technology Microtransponders
These metrics will link what was once deemed disparate data together in a truly patient centric system through software and infrastructure development. VTEQ
VeriTeQ believes that its technologies and the various applications that can be created from their implementation will ultimately develop new healthcare metrics and analytics created by the union of these and other interdisciplinary data sources.
VeriTeQ's informatics and data analytics platform is positioned to revolutionize healthcare IT and deliver better data to medical professionals to advance evidence-based healthcare.
VeriTeQ specializes in RFID technology to identify implantable medical devices in vivo, on demand, at the point of care and radiation dosimetry technologies to measure dosage during radiation therapy treatments
It is estimated that over 30 million library items worldwide now contain RFID tags, including some in the Vatican Library in Rome.

Libraries have used RFID to replace the barcodes on library items. The tag can contain identifying information or may just be a key into a database. An RFID system may replace or supplement bar codes and may offer another method of inventory management and self-service checkout by patrons. It can also act as a security device, taking the place of the more traditional electromagnetic security strip.

Since 2004 a number of U.S. hospitals have begun implanting patients with RFID tags and using RFID systems, usually for workflow and inventory management
VTEQ
The trend is toward using ISO 18000-6c as the tag of choice and combining an active tagging system that relies on existing 802.11X wireless infrastructure for active tags.

Real-time data is stored and archived to make use of historical reporting functionality and to prove compliance with various industry regulations. This combination of RFID real-time locating system hardware and software provides a powerful data collection tool for facilities seeking to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.

A physical RFID tag may be incorporated with browser-based software to increase its efficacy. This software allows for different groups or specific hospital staff, nurses, and patients to see real-time data relevant to each piece of tracked equipment or personnel.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently announced plans to deploy RFID in hospitals across America to improve care and reduce costs.

For example, medical facility rooms can collect data from transmissions of RFID badges worn by patients and employees, as well as from tags assigned to facility assets, such as mobile medical devices.
