RFID in Surgical Sponges

ClearCount Medical Solutions (Pittsburgh, PA) announced that its patented SmartSponge™ System based on radio frequency identification (RFID) received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (Rockville, MD) 510(k) clearance. It uses Texas Instruments Inc's (Dallas, TX) Tag-it™ HF-I portfolio of high-frequency products to automate the process of managing surgical sponges during surgery. The sponges are permanently affixed with passive RFID tags smaller than a dime. ClearCount expects to make available a commercial solution that fully integrates into the current workflow of the operating room by the end of this year.
