Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about the product

What hardware does Blood Inventory Management require?
A Blood Inventory Management deployment typically uses UHF RFID readers, antennas and tags from a single vendor, plus the Cirfid middleware that connects them to your core systems.
How long does deployment normally take?
Because the stack is provided end-to-end by one vendor, a typical healthcare site can be up and running within weeks, with daily guidance from our integration team.
Will it integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. The middleware exposes standard APIs and connectors, so it slots into your WMS, ERP or other platforms without replacing what you already run.
Do you provide support and maintenance?
We provide ongoing monitoring, firmware updates and a responsive support channel as part of the Blood Inventory Management package, so your readers and antennas keep performing.
