A new technology that can track sponges and surgical instruments during surgery has recently received FDA approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.
The United States-based Haldor Advanced Technology Company developed the ORLocate system to mention the replacement of doctors to complete the complicated and time-consuming inventory of surgical instruments and improve safety. This work is easy to cause human errors.
The system uses radio frequency identification technology to help the surgical team avoid leaving instruments in the patient during the operation. At present, the cost of this medical error in the United States is more than 2 billion US dollars per year. It is the only RFID-based system on the market that can be used not only to count sponges but also surgical instruments.
"The surgical team needs to rely on manual counting to ensure that sponges and surgical instruments are not left in the patient's body," said Haldor Chairman and CEO Jacob Poremba. "Every year, big hospitals have 2-4 cases of surgical items left in patients' bodies."
According to a study published in the "Journal of Surgical Research" in 2007, more than one-third of the surgical items left in the patient's body were surgical instruments (52% were sponges that were impervious to radiation, and 43% were surgical instruments ).
During the NAMSA laboratory test in Northwood, ORLocate monitors and locates sponges and surgical instruments with an accuracy rate as high as 99.8%. NAMSA is the world's largest medical equipment contract research organization (CRO) and has laboratories in Germany and Israel. It uses a unique RFID identification technology to mark every item used during surgery. The label is the same size as the hearing aid battery. Marked instruments and sponges are continuously counted automatically by antennas and application software throughout the sterile area.
Before the operation, register the number of items and mark them automatically when used. Before completing the operation, the surgical team can be confident that ORLocate has counted every item, ensuring the safety of the patient, and greatly improving the logistics of the operating room and the efficiency of the flow of work.
ORLocate can also be used in the disinfection processing and distribution department (SPD) to provide it with advanced surgical instrument life cycle tracking solutions. This can ensure that the aseptic processing door is simply and accurately packed for surgical instruments before surgery. ORLocate can label and track devices to maximize the overall productivity of the hospital, while also identifying defective and in need of maintenance.
"ORLocate can provide the initial and increased number of items, the number of items that have not been replaced, the number of sponges cleaned and used, and the number of last inventory at any time," Mr. Poremba said. "Complex counting and sterile inventory management capabilities not only improve hospital efficiency, but also ensure patient safety."
