ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMMedtronic's Situate Sponge Detection Systems provide adjunct technology to help healthcare organizations prevent the #1 sentinel event-Unintended Retained Surgical Sponges. This preventable unreimbursed "Never Event" occurs 39 times per week in the United States. JACHO, AORN, and ACS all recommend the adoption of adjunct technology to the manual sponge counting process to eliminate these never events.• RSIs occur at a rate of 1 in every 7,000 surgical procedures• 88% of retained surgical items occur when the count was thought to be correct• Sponge miscounts occur at a rate of 1 in every 64 proceduresTHREE COMPLEMENTARY COMPONENTS FOR FULL OPERATING ROOM COVERAGEWe understand that one operating room hosts widely varying procedures every day. That’s why we provide detectors specifically designed for distinct clinical applications and OR locales. The System X offers three scanning devices, each customized to detect sponges in the patient and surrounding suite without disrupting existing OR workflow.COMPLIANCE DRIVEN INTERFACEThe System X generates a clear and unique confirmation code of each scan for convenient EMR entry during the procedure. This allows OR staff to reconcile any inaccuracies before the case is closed, helping to prevent second surgeries and readmissions.AN INTRODUCTIONOver 700 hospitals have eliminated this 100% preventable problem. If you are interested in learning more about how you can avoid this “Never Event” situation, let’s set up a call. Whether or not we decide to work together, I can educate you on a new, higher, standard of care. My email is christopher.a.casey@medtronic.com or call me at 612.581.9016
