RF Surgical Detection System

When the system is activated and the wand is passed over a patient prior to closing procedures, an audible and visual alarm immediately signals the presence of any retained object(s) fitted with a tag.

The system confirms manual counts while quickly rectifying miscounts. The RF Surgical Detection System has reduced the risk of a retained sponge medical error with the wave of the wand in over 100 hospitals and medical centers across America. Our patented and FDA-cleared technology safely and accurately reads through deep cavity tissue, fluids and bone to detect if any radio frequency tagged surgical sponges, gauze or towels remain in a patient following surgery.

With the reusable Blair-Port Wand® the system averages less than $15 per surgical case. A cost-effective investment for improving patient safety while avoiding the costly consequences of a retained sponge "never event" in your hospital.
