Sponge detection system
ClearCount Medical Solutions introduces a new way to prevent retained surgical sponges. Exclusively distributed by Medline Industries, the SmartWand-DTX system is an RFID-based solution that allows hospitals a low-cost way to begin the prevention of retained sponges, on a platform that can grow with the patient safety initiative. The system allows caregivers to wand over an unopened pack of sponges to get a count, then validate their "count-out" with another wand over used sponges after surgery. If the counts don’t match, the surgeon wands over the patient to locate the missing sponge.
