The next generation of RFID is here – GammaTag RFID tags from Verigenics® (previously marketed under NewAge Industries' AdvantaPure® high purity products line.) They're the first radio frequency identification tags that handle gamma radiation with no loss of data.

GammaTag provides reliable electronic data storage of single-use medical devices, bioprocess components and other parts from inception to disposal. GammaTag is available exclusively from Verigenics, a division of NewAge® Industries.

Key Features

• Uses read/write RFID technology to identify critical process components in medical device, pharmaceutical, bioprocess/biomedical, food, and beverage industries
  
• Record and access the current status of process components on the spot, or use simply for identification (part number, lot number, gamma sterilization date, etc.)
  
• All critical packaging and labeling documentation resides on the component throughout its useful life
• Attaches to single use medical devices, sample and production bags, tanks, filters, manifolds, tubing and hose, storage containers, single-use systems, boxes or pallets undergoing gamma radiation sterilization, and dosimeters
• Allows gamma radiation sterilization of a complete single use system for the cleanest possible products
• Also withstands CIP sterilization processes
• GammaTag's read/write ability makes it unique – data may be written directly on the tag, unlike read-only bar code labels
• Provides reliable identification without the potential hazards of leachables found in label adhesives and permanent markers
• Will not fall off during cold storage like labels can
• Unlike bar code labels, GammaTag does not require a clear sight line for reading or writing
• Electronically links to notes, cleaning schedules, files, certifications, photos and illustrations, installation instructions, warning notices, disposal procedures, and other instructions
• Eliminates the burden and bulk of paper records and log books
• RoHS compliant
• U.S. Patent 8,519,846
• Field testing recommended for each application
