Abstract

A medical waste collection system includes a medical waste collection device for providing suction at a surgical site, and a manifold releasably couplable to the medical waste collection device.

communicate a recommission command to the RFID tag; and

after the recommission command is communicated:

determine that the third memory bank exhibits a second behavioral characteristic consistent with the non-permanent read-only state by determining that the third memory bank is in an unlocked writeable state; and

enable operation of the medical waste collection device to provide the suction at the surgical site responsive to determining that the third memory bank exhibits the second behavioral characteristic consistent with the non-permanent read-only state.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the RFID tag further comprises a fourth memory bank storing an access password for selectively transitioning the RFID tag between a secured state and an open state, the third memory bank is locked in a first non-permanent read-only state effective in the open state and not the secured state, and the controller is configured to:

determine that the third memory bank exhibits a behavioral characteristic consistent with the first non-permanent read-only state using the access password; and

enable operation of the medical waste collection device to provide the suction at the surgical site responsive to determining that the one or more first memory blocks each exhibits the behavioral characteristic consistent with the permanent read-only state, the one or more second memory blocks each does not exhibit the behavioral characteristic consistent with the permanent read-only state, and the third memory bank exhibits the behavioral characteristic consistent with the first non-permanent read-only state.

8. A method for preparing an RFID tag for a manifold configured to be coupled to a vacuum inlet integral with a medical waste collection device to provide suction at a surgical site through the manifold, the method comprising:

obtaining a memory device for the RFID tag, the memory device comprising a first memory bank storing an identifier for the RFID tag, a second memory bank for storing electronic identification data for the manifold, and a third memory bank for storing user data, the third memory bank comprising a plurality of memory blocks;

writing to the third memory bank a rover type datum corresponding to the medical waste collection device, a first hash digest generated based on the rover type datum, use history data for the manifold, and a second hash digest generated based on the use history data for the manifold; and

locking one or more first memory blocks of the plurality of memory blocks of the third memory bank in a permanent read-only state such that one or more second memory blocks of the plurality of memory blocks of the third memory bank are not locked in the permanent read-only state according to a predefined lock pattern for verifying the RFID tag by the medical waste collection device.
