Under this exclusive agreement, SYMX will enable broader utilization of RF Code's complete health care solution platform. SYMX will integrate RF Code's RTLS capabilities into its SYMX Solutions offering, thus giving hospitals the ability to quickly and accurately track the exact location and status of vital devices, ranging from infusion pumps to expensive implantable products.
"We took a comprehensive look at various RFID technologies and asset management solutions and found that RF Code's capabilities were better in terms of granularity, resolution, and ease of deployment than any other offering in the space," said Tim Callahan, president and COO of SYMX. "RF Code allows SYMX to offer the advanced capabilities required by the health care industry to track and integrate location and sensor data from medical equipment into existing systems in order to improve asset utilization and billing accuracy. RF Code and SYMX will help medical professionals focus on patient care and utilize assets more efficiently."
To accomplish this, SYMX will establish RF Code's active RFID technology as the platform into a broad range of medical and surgical equipment services. Through this approach, costly equipment and mission-critical devices can be more effectively utilized and life-saving equipment can be found quickly. Health care professionals will have the management tools necessary to improve quality control and patient care while reducing costs by providing the systems needed to track and manage life-critical assets across the hospital.
"This agreement with SYMX represents the largest deployment within the health care RTLS space and one of the most comprehensive health care solution utilizations to date," said Joe Dugan, president and CEO of RF Code. "By providing SYMX with a complete health care solution, RF Code is helping transform the market with advanced RFID technology which improves patient care while at the same time helping hospitals reduce health care costs."
