RFID keeps track of sponges after surgery
ClearCount Medical Solutions has selected NXP RFID to enable its SmartSponge System to detect and account for surgical sponges placed in a patient’s body when undergoing surgery, so that no items are left behind.
Making RFID earn its keep
RFID is by now a well-established radio technology. However, the radio system can only be effective if the installation, and the need for it, work hand in hand after some very careful planning and research. This article looks beyond the technology and into that planning process to ensure RFID implementation is a success.
