摘要： A system and method for the preventing unintended surgical instruments and surgical disposables from remaining in the body cavity of a patient post surgically. Individual items are tagged with an RFID transponder tag preferably at the time of manufacture. Then, after an operation is complete, but prior to would closure, the body of the patient is scanned using an RFID reader device, such as, a hand held reader device to detect the presence of any latent RFID tags. As long as no tags are identified it is presumed that the body cavity is free of any unintended items. This avoids sponge counting and other overhead intensive methods of accounting for surgical items during a surgical procedure.
摘要翻译：一种用于防止意外手术器械和手术一次性物品在手术后残留在患者体腔内的系统和方法。单个物品最好在制造时用RFID应答器标签标记。然后，在操作完成之后，但是在闭合之前，使用诸如手持读取器设备的RFID读取器设备来扫描病人的身体，以检测是否存在任何潜在的RFID标签。只要没有识别标签，就假设体腔没有任何非预期的物品。这避免了在外科手术过程中海绵计数和其他开销密集的手术物品的计算方法。

摘要： Systems and methods for identifying surgical instruments by use of radio-frequency identification tags (RFID) are disclosed. In the systems and methods, each of a plurality of surgical instruments is provided with at least one RFID transponder tag storing identification information associated with the corresponding instrument. The tag may be adhered to, embedded, or potted within a portion of the instrument. Using an RFID reading device, a user may interrogate the tag, thereby identifying the particular instrument. This identification information may be used to index a database and retrieve a data record unique to that instrument. The systems and methods allow a user to track, inspect, and verify inbound and outbound surgical instruments, to assess, for example, the surgical instruments' duty life cycle usage.

摘要： A surgical instrument tray RFID tag that includes a modular housing formed of two or more pieces of non-conductive, fluid impervious material. The two or more pieces are mated using an adhesive assisted seal to provide a sealed unitary structure that encases the RFID transponder circuit inside. Various fastening mechanisms may be used to fasten the tag to a surgical instrument tray such as adhesives, screws, bolts, rivets or other suitable mechanical fasteners. By hardening the outer case rather than the tag itself, various commercially available RFID transponder tags may be used with the various embodiments of the invention. The modular housing should be constructed of a protective material that will prevent ingress of moisture and dust, insulate from heat and cold but that will allow radio frequency waves to pass without significant attenuation. The tag may attached to surgical instruments during manufacture, or afterwards through a retrofitting process.
摘要翻译：一种外科器械托盘RFID标签，其包括由两片或多片不导电，不透液体材料形成的模块化壳体。使用粘合剂辅助密封件将两个或更多个部件配合，以提供将RFID应答器电路封装在其中的密封的单一结构。可以使用各种紧固机构将标签紧固到手术器械托盘，例如粘合剂，螺钉，螺栓，铆钉或其它合适的机械紧固件。通过硬化外壳而不是标签本身，可以使用各种市售的RFID应答器标签与本发明的各种实施例。模块化外壳应采用保护材料制成，防止湿气和灰尘侵入，防止发生热和冷，但会导致射频波过度而无明显衰减。标签可以在制造期间或之后通过改装过程连接到外科手术器械。

摘要： A surgical instrument tray shipping tote identification system is provided. During transit to or from a medical facility, processing center, distribution center or other location, multiple surgical instruments trays are placed in an instrument tray shipping tote. Each instrument tray includes at least one RFID transponder tag storing identification information about that tray. The shipping tote has a bar coded shipping label affixed to one surface generated at the point of origin. When the tote arrives at the distribution center, it is placed on a conveyor system that includes a reading station having an RFID transceiver and a bar code reader. Information read from the RFID transponder tags and the bar code label is transmitted by a controller to an external database to check for any off-nominal status indicators. Once this check is performed, an indication is sent back to the controller and an appropriate indicator on the identification system is activated.
