Methods: The import BARCODE file archiving system, in order to borrow and return series operation of the automatic identification, set the expiration of contracts, licenses and time of alarms.Results: The efficiency and accuracy of data entry, and mobile data collection terminal data processing in real time. Conclusion: Based on RFID technology for medical equipment supplies the file system to the radio channel as a transmission media, the target for non-contact automatic identification technology, medical equipment, supplies,intelligent file management and information technology.展开更多
