SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, February 6, 2013 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and
services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced
new radio frequency identification (RFID) labels for the medical industry that
are specially designed to withstand the radiation processes commonly used to
sterilize medical devices, equipment and supplies. Unlike standard RFID products
that lose their memory content when exposed to radiation, Identive's new
radiation-resistant labels enable critical identification, usage and tracking
information to reside on medical components and storage containers throughout
their useful lives.
RFID technology offers superior convenience and performance to many other
identification technologies, such as barcodes, but is just beginning to be
adopted for medical applications. One barrier has been the challenge of adapting
the technology to operate in harsh and demanding environments, such as
sterilization using X-rays or gamma radiation. As an innovator of RFID
applications to solve complex problems, Identive has created the new labels to
address the stringent manufacturing and operating requirements of the healthcare
industry. Identive's new RFID labels are resistant to radiation, offer
read/write functionality and have a memory capacity of up to 256 bytes.
Compliance with ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3 and EPCglobal® standards ensures
compatibility with common RFID reader devices worldwide. Identive is offering
its radiation-resistant labels in a variety of shapes, sizes, surface materials
and printing options. Inquiries about the radiation-resistant labels may be sent
to salesemea@identive-transponders.com. Learn more about Identive's full range
of specialized tags and labels for difficult or unique environments by visiting
