Overview
A micro ceramic on-metal UHF tag for instruments and small parts
The ID-C6009 is built for metal items that leave almost no room for a tag: scalpels and other surgical instruments, small hand tools, bearings and auto spare parts. At 5 × 5 × 3 mm and 0.4 g it can be epoxy-bonded onto a small flat face or embedded in a shallow pocket, so it barely changes how the item is held or used.
Made for sterilisation and wash-down
The ceramic body is IP68 and is rated to withstand repeated autoclave sterilisation cycles and industrial chemical washes. It operates from -40 °C to +85 °C, survives exposure from -40 °C to +250 °C and tolerates humidity up to 98% non-condensing. That makes it a candidate for instrument sets that pass through a hospital CSSD every day, and for parts cleaned on industrial wash lines.
Reading a tag this small
Read range is rated up to 3.0 m on metal (ETSI) and 3.3 m (FCC). In a real instrument tray, tags sit close together and at random angles, so test with your own trays and reader before deciding on a workflow. A UHF handheld reader or a fixed reader at the counting point are the usual ways to check a set.
The ID-C6009 is ATEX certified and meets FDA requirements for medical environments. If your safety or compliance team needs certificate details, confirm them with us when you request a quote.
