?:definition
  • Security systems designed to identify, track, monitor, and control the movement of individual surgical instruments in the operating room and sterilization department. The basic elements of the system are identification (e.g., adhesive micro-labels, laser-etched or engraved bar codes) for each instrument, a detection device (e.g., a scanning reader), and an electronic unit that provides real-time location and relevant information (e.g., descriptor, manufacturer, supplier, tray identification) on the instrument by linking the instrument code to a database. Surgical instrument identification and tracking systems may provide reports on the location, sterilization cycles, and usage for each instrument; inventory and status of the instruments, missing instruments, and instrument availability.
