    Abstract: Systems and techniques for reprocessing a medical device equipped with an electromagnetic tag can include opening an access door of a reprocessing machine and passing the medical device through an entry-opening towards an inside of a washing chamber of the reprocessing machine. The systems and techniques can also involve energizing an electromagnetic tag carried by the medical device with an energizing power source of the reprocessing machine. As the medical device is passing through the entry-opening (EO) towards the inside of the washing chamber and in response to the energizing, the system can receive an identification electromagnetic signal transferred by the energized electromagnetic tag with a receiver the reprocessing machine. Information associated with the identification electromagnetic signal can be used to select and/or control washing parameters of the reprocessing machine.
