Abstract:
A wireless identification system and method used for identifying medical vials having a metallic crimp includes an RFID tag having a first antenna element located at the crimp so as to be capacitively coupled to the crimp to increase the effective surface area of the RFID antenna, and a second antenna element mounted to the side of the vial between the ends of the labeling mounted on the vial so as to not mask any visually readable information of the labeling. Dielectric adhesive is used in one embodiment to couple the antenna element to the crimp. The invention is particularly useful for small vials. A manufacturing method in which the wireless tag is an integral part of the container is disclosed.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for identifying a medical container, the container having a size selected to hold a medical item and having an opening at one end at which is mounted an electrically conductive cap, the method comprising:\n mounting a wireless identification tag comprising a first antenna element and a tag circuitry element to the container, the tag circuitry element including a memory and a processor, the tag circuitry element being connected to the antenna element, the tag circuitry element configured to receive an interrogation signal through the antenna element and to transmit a response identification signal to the interrogation signal through the antenna element, wherein the response identification signal is associated with a medical item held by the medical container to identify the held item; and mounting the first antenna element of the identification tag into electrical connection with the electrically conductive cap of the container thereby increasing the effective surface area of the antenna with the electrically conductive cap.
