Abstract:
1. A method comprising: attaching a radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensor to a bioprocess component, the RFID sensor including ferro-electric random access memory (FRAM) chip, the RFID sensor configured to sense at least one of a physical, chemical, or biological characteristic in the bioprocess component; writing error-correctable information to the FRAM chip, wherein the error-correctable information contains identifying information or calibration parameters of the RFID sensor; sterilizing the bioprocess component with the RFID sensor attached thereto using radiation, wherein at least one region of the FRAM chip is corrupted by the radiation; reading the error-correctible information from the FRAM chip, including data from the at least one region corrupted by the radiation, after sterilizing the bioprocess component with the RFID sensor; and analyzing or processing the information, including the data from the at least one region corrupted by the radiation, to authenticate the bioprocess component.
