Xerafy’s XXS series metal tags are the world’s smallest passive UHF Class 1 Gen 2 tags. The XXS tags complement the XS series to create more opportunities for even smaller assets to be RFID-enabled. These ultra-small tags simplify the embedding process and allow source tagging solutions to be explored. The XXS series also come in the autoclavable version, specially designed for the tagging of surgcal instruments in the healthcare market. The XXS tags are available in two form factors: the Dot XXS tag which is round and measures at Ø 0.16 x 0.10 inches thick, and the Dash XXS tag at 0.26 x 0.08 x 0.08 inches thick

Cleaning and Disinfection Process (ANSI/AAMI ST79)
Chemical sterilization for decontamination Liquid chemical sterilants include glutaraldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide-peracetic acid combinations, sodium hypochlorite, and peracetic acid	Pass
Thermal (hot water) disinfection  • Washer-sanitizers, washer-decontaminators, utensil washers, and cart washers reduce microbial contamination by means of cleaning agents, hot water, rinsing, and drying.  • Pasteurization equipment provides cleaning and high-level disinfection at water temperatures of 65°C to 77°C (150°F to 170°F) for a contact time of at least 30 minutes.  • Washer-disinfectors provide a cycle of cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, and drying at temperatures that are usually higher than those of washer-sanitizers	Pass
Thermal sterilization for decontamination Saturated steam can be used to decontaminate devices capable of withstanding high temperatures (121°C to 135°C [250°F to 275°F]) and pressures (16 to 35 psig). Washer-sterilizers provide cleaning and rinsing followed by exposure to saturated steam at temperatures of 121°C to 135°C (250°F to 275°F).	Pass
Ultrasonic cleaner 3KHz for 30 min	Pass
Dry heat sterilization 160°C for 2h, or 170°C for 1h, or 180°C for 30min	Pass
Disinfection by light C wave ultraviolet and wavelength range is from 200nrn to 275nrn	Pass
Detergent enzyme cleaner	Pass
Autoclave sterilization 134 °C and 0.6 Mpa for more than 1000 cycles	Pass
