System Benefits
Benefits of the RF Surgical Detection System.Higher Level of Patient Care
- Helps prevent retained surgical sponges prior to wound closure.
- Protects patient and OR staff during high risk open cases such as bariatric, cardiac and time pressurized trauma cases.
- Allows for the early detection of missing items lowering unnecessary X-rays and associated anesthesia time.
- Simplified reporting feature stores evidence of scanning and records a unique confirmation number linked to the patient M.R.
Ease of Use
- RF Assure hands free scanning provides consistency and eliminates the potential for human errors.
- Detection mat is conveniently positioned underneath the surgical table covers which is unobtrusive to the surgical staff, saving time and valuable OR space.
- Intuitive Graphical User Interface delivers fast and simple feedback while minimizing the level of stress and distraction to the OR staff.
Staff Safety and Confidence
- Complies with latest AORN and JCAHO initiatives.
- Helps confirm sponge count accuracy that can be compromised by busy OR distraction and multitasking.
- Helps limit staff exposure to biologic hazardous material.
- Quickly validates "time-out" for closing counts in seconds.
- Improves staff wound closure confidence.
Accuracy & Reliability
- RF Detection Technology uses low frequency (145Khz) passive tags which are known to perform well in fluids and near metals. The technology is currently used in over 1,000 ORs every day.
- RF Detect tags do not require programming which eliminates the possibility of readability errors.
- Automatic Detection Mat reduces human errors with "hands free" scanning.
- Early detection improves the outcome of manual counting protocols.
- Detection mat and wand can be used to gain detection coverage, specially on high BMI and cardiac cases.
Cost Effective
- Increase intraoperative efficiency by improving time to resolve miscounts.
- Early detection can reduce the number of unnecessary x-rays, anesthesia time and overall OR time.
- Affordable with an average cost of $15 per procedure.
Eco Friendly
- Reusable Blair-Port wand and RF Assure Detection mat reduces waste in landfills.
