The integrated RFID reader in the Motion C5v enables quick and easy identification of caregivers, patients, medications and supplies.
Simply press the RFID trigger, which is conveniently located on the handle of the C5v, to detect and read the data off of the RFID tag in the targeted object, such as an ID card, wristband or drug label.
Technology Definition
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method that relies on remote storage of data and remote retrieval of data from devices such as patient wristbands or stickers embedded with RFID tags or transponders.

Motion’s Integration of the Technology
Every Motion C5v comes with a standard high-frequency (13.56 MHz) RFID reader. The RFID reader’s key performance attributes include maximum read range and reliability, as well as reduced power consumption.
The Motion C5v RFID reader is ISO/IC 15693 enabled (supported out-of-box) and can also support ISO/IEC 14443A/B and ISO/IEC 18000-3 (supported after additional software work).
Motion’s product is high-frequency (13.56MHz). In comparison, low-frequency readers operate in the 125-134.2kHz and 140-148.5 kHz bands.
Primary Clinical Usage Models:
- User authentication (in place of Finger Print Reader or password)
- Patient identification (scanning patients’ wristbands)
- Medication (especially high-cost and/or controlled substances)
- Expensive medical supplies such as replacement hip joints
