  Background and objectives: Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags have advantages over bar codes in blood management system. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID technology (820-960 MHz) in many ways has more advantages than high frequency (HF) RFID (13.56 MHz). The aim of our study was the evaluation of the effects of UHF RFID in comparison to HF RFID radiation on quality markers of RBC and on the oxidoreductive balance in RBC stored in containers labelled with RFID tags. Materials and methods: Ten RBC units were split into three components, one control unit-marked with bar code and two test units labeled with RFID tags - one operating on UHF and the second on HF radio waves. All units were stored at 2-6°C for 35 days. The test groups were exposed to radio waves continuously during storage. The quality parameters as well as concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), and activities of.. Read More»
