Medline inks deal with customer
MUNDELEIN - ClearCount Medical Solutions and Medline Industries Inc. Tuesday announced that their newest customers, the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare system, will help prevent retained surgical sponge incidents with the use of the SmartSponge System.
The system is part of ClearCount's radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based platform that uniquely identifies each sponge so that they can be easily counted and detected. Medline is the exclusive distributor for the SmartWand-DTX and the SmartSponge System, the only FDA-cleared systems using RFID to both count and locate surgical sponges.
