Datakey Electronics (Savage, MN) has
confirmed that its GammaSafe memory
tokens survive e-beam sterilization with
no data loss. The GammaSafe memory
token also supports sterilization by ethylene
oxide (EtO) gas, autoclave, or
gamma radiation, and allows medical
device manufacturers to electronically limit the use of their disposables
by tracking usage information on the memory token's non-volatile
memory. The memory token contains four kilobits of non-volatile,
reprogrammable memory, functions similarly to an EEPROM device,
and uses an SPI serial interface for communications.
