RxTRAKKER, RFID, eSUNTech

A new and unique ICE related tool is the RxTrakker™ RFID Wristband and PDA Based Read/Write Device from eSUNTech of Detroit, Michigan.

The RxTrakker System consists of an encapsulated RFID Chip that can be embedded into a variety of objects, clothing and devices worn upon a person or secured in place that can maintain important medical and contact information to assist EMS in the event of an emergency that requires prompt and informed care.

The way it works is that a transponder chip is embedded into a plastic module the size of a 5 cent coin which typically would be worn on a wristband, neck lanyard, helmet tag pouch, shoe pouch, clothing insert or embedded into a wallet sized card. The chip is covered with a dome tag that identifies the device for first responders or medical facility staff.

The PDA device which fits in a pocket or turn out gear or holstered on a belt, has a read write head that can read the information stored in the chip and can update that information numerous times as needed. This is accomplished using an encryption technology that keeps the information private and unable to be read by other computer based systems.

The program that operates the system is web based and easily modified for an end users requirements using software customized for the user. The PDA is the Socket SoMo650 and is American made. Customizable Dome Tags are available (e.g. ICE). The system also reads bar coded information tags and can be used as an inventory tool as well. It is GPS, Bluetooth, Email, Phone and is Microsoft Mobile Equipped.

Recorded information can include, but not limited to:
Individual Identification
Contact/Next of Kin Info
Doctor Contact info
Blood Type/Religion/DNR Status/Medical Conditions/Prescription Info/Allergies
Medical insurance Info

There are a variety of uses that pertain to emergency preparedness in business, outdoor, recreation, government facilities, construction projects, long term care and hospital settings to name a few.

One considerable difference that sets this concept apart from some other ideas is that you can still control the information put on the RFID Transponder and it is stored with you. It does not rely on a remote database that needs to be accessed.

Upcoming EMS protocols will dictate that anyone using the services of an ambulance will have their critical data uploaded to a computer database in Pittsburgh for retrieval on future emergency medical service intervention. This unit has interoperability with this developing system.
