The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published experimental results in June 2008, indicating that UHF RFID causes radio interference to some medical devices in hospitals.

Does anyone know if any commercial case of UHF RFID handhelds or readers has been successfully implemented in hospitals?

Some web links about the JAMA results:

Base on what I've read on the articles about the result of some test for the JAMA. There are some limitations and advantages involved. But all the same medical facilities are vulnerable to malfunctioning in several situations. Indianapolis Liposuction
