Surgicount Tablet
Accounting for your
surgical sponges.
We’ve taken our SurgiCount Safety-Sponge System to the next level with our new, user-friendly SurgiCount Tablet interface with expanded capabilities. The result? More power and protection in your fight against retained surgical sponges with less effort.
- Intuitive, user-friendly tablet technology
- WiFi capability with real-time data transfer to server (or send via hard-wired docking)
- Secure cloud-based server/storage
- Admin portal for password-protected, VPN access from any onsite or remote computer
- Tablet self-reconciliation with option to capture through SurgiCount360 software, customizable for post-op compliance/reporting
- Interactive touch screen
- Large 10″ screen display
- More menu options per screen
- Slip-in battery slot for recharge without shut down or hot swap
- Wound-pack reconciliation/closing review
- Notes the time, type and ID of each sponge retained
- Communicates data to all tablets within the same account so retained sponge data will display in any O.R. when the patient ID is scanned
- Triggers wound pack email notifications to key hospital staff
- Updates packed sponge counts over time for those removed or added during recovery or other procedures
- Transmits and logs a final reconciliation to the Cloud database for a permanent record of complete removal
- Process fits seamlessly with existing manual count workflow suggested by AORN5
- Unique barcode ID on every sponge/towel for 100% identification accuracy; sponges counted out are the exact ones counted in
- Digital ledger gives you real-time reconciliations throughout the case
- Prohibits duplicate counts of the same sponge or counting random sponges unrelated to the procedure
- Adds only one second to mean count time (mean, 5 seconds to 4 for a non-barcoded sponge), but no increase in overall case length since activities are done in parallel2
- 1-step set up and turnover
- ID-based count reconciliation can eliminate added steps for detection or searching
- Encrypted data while:
- In transit: HTTPS traffic encrypted by signed SSL certificate from trusted certificate authority
- At rest: Data stored in encrypted database - Patient Identified are encrypted prior to transport and storage
- Mobile device management system:
- Kiosk mode limits user access to sponge counting application only
- Prevents installation of unapproved software on tablet
- Two-step authentication ensures tablet connectivity to correct database
- Password protection ability if tablet is lost or stolen
- Data is stored and accessible in SOC 2 certified cloud enviroment
88% of retained sponge cases had a false correct count1
“When the count is performed manually, it leaves the door open for simple human error. We haven’t seen a single surgically retained item since implementation.”4
