PropertyValue
?:definition
  • Counters designed to verify the quantity of sponges used during a surgical procedure to help prevent the retention of surgical sponges inside the patient before closure of the operative field by reading passive radiofrequency (RF) tagged sponges. These counters typically consist of a central unit that delivers and detects the RF signals from tags in the sponges. The unit counts the initial number of sponges introduced into a surgical case, and using a software program, reports the total sponges discarded at the end of the procedure. A comparison of the count of items entered into surgery, and of those removed from the surgical field, provides information regarding the sponges that may still remain in the surgical field prior to closing the patient.
