Here's a 'Bloody Good' Story

The Klinikum Saarbruecken in Germany, which launched a landmark RFID pilot last year to identify patients, is now adding the track-and-trace chips to its blood supplies.

Just so you know, The Klinikum Saarbruecken is a hospital, not some Bavarian Octoberfest sausage deal served with saurkraut and beer, ya?

The news comes from this link in silicon.com.

The trial extension, which is being conducted with Siemens Business Services, is intended to help medical staff cut clinical errors by verifying blood has reached the right patient using information held on the RFID tagged bags.
