A reader includes a first antenna, a second antenna spaced apart from the first antenna, an RFID reader circuit, and a processor. The first antenna and the second antenna are connected to the RFID reader circuit. The first antenna is configured to receive a first signal from an RFID tag. The second antenna is configured to receive a second signal from the RFID tag. The processor controls the RFID reader circuit to determine a first value of a signal parameter associated with the RFID tag based on the first signal and a second value of the signal parameter associated with the RFID tag based on the second signal, receives, from the RFID reader circuit, the first value and the second value, and determines, based on the first value and the second value, whether the RFID tag is located between the first antenna and the second antenna.

System, device, product, apparatus, and method for reading syringe information

A system may include a disposable flow sensor and a base for the disposable flow sensor. A method may include scanning, with an optical scanner of the base for the disposable flow sensor, a flow sensor label attached to the disposable flow sensor to decode a flow sensor identifier associated with the flow sensor, scanning, with the optical scanner of the base for the disposable flow sensor, a patient label attached to a patient to decode a patient identifier associated with the patient, and connecting the disposable flow sensor to the base.

Flow sensor system

A system may include a flow sensor and a base. The flow sensor may include a flow tube, a sensor configured to characterize at least one attribute of a fluid in the flow tube, and an electrical contact in electrical communication with the sensor. The flow tube may include a fluid inlet at a first end of the flow tube, a fluid outlet at a second end of the flow tube, a fluid injection port between the first and second ends of the flow tube, and a valve configured to control a flow of a fluid in the flow tube. The base may include a processor, an electrical contact in electrical communication with the processor, a short range wireless communication device, and a display. The flow sensor electrical contact may be in electrical communication with the base electrical contact when the flow sensor is connected to the base.

A system may include a flow sensor and a base. The flow sensor may be configured to connect to the base. The flow sensor may include a flow tube including a fluid inlet at a first end of the flow tube, a fluid outlet at a second end of the flow tube opposite the first end of the flow tube, and a fluid injection port between the first end and the second end of the flow tube. The base may include a short range wireless communication device including a curved coil antenna.
