A RFID label for use on a lid of a container, and a method of using the RFID label. The RFID label comprises a substrate component, a RFID antenna formed on the substrate component, and a RFID chip for storing data coupled to the RFID antenna. The RFID label is positioned or configured on the lid so as to limit or avoid any interference between the RFID antenna and the RFID chip by any metal component of the container. The RFID label is particularly useful for containers that have small lids or metal components, such as vials, where conventional RFID usage is limited.

RFID vial tracking with RFID inlay

A wearable RFID device is disclosed herein. The wearable RFID device is preferably comprised of a band, one or more RFID inlays attached to a backside of said band, and at least one tamper resistant cut or notch in one or more of the band and/or the RFID inlays so that the RFID inlay(s) are rendered inoperable or destroyed when the wearable RFID device is removed from the user. The band is preferably formed by attaching a first and a second end of the band with an adhesive to form an adhesive closure, and the RFID inlay may be positioned on either side of, or extend across, the adhesive closure to suit user preference or other design considerations.
