The system employs radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to detect ClearCount SmartSponge® surgical sponges and towels. The system combines detection with the benefit of identification of surgical items (sponges, gauze, and towels) so detected items can be quickly identified. The system consists of a patient scanning wand and a wand box with a user-friendly display that provides detailed information about detected items. When an item is detected, the type and quantity will appear on-screen along with an audible notification. The SmartWand-DTX allows for a quick and easy scan of the patient to identify retained surgical items. This chapter includes a brief overview of the system and a detailed description of its components. • • 1-1 •• • • System Components SmartWand Box The SmartWand Box, shown in Figure 1-1, is the information and user hub of the SmartWand-DTX System. The Power Entry Switch is located on the back panel of the box, where the power cord is to be connected. The system provides visual cues to the user through the front mounted LCD Display where detected item information and system messages are shown. Two Bi-Color LEDs, also located on the front panel, will show system and detection statuses. Located inside: the Embedded Buzzer gives audible feedback to the user during detection and system alerts. Directly below the LEDs is the multifunction Panel Button; used to “Wake Up”, “Clear”, and “Sleep” the system. Right below the Panel Button is the Wand Connection where the cord to the SmartWand is connected.

Chapter 1: System Description - System Components SmartWand The SmartWand, shown in Figure 1-2 is a patient scanning wand that houses an antenna for detecting ClearCount SmartSponges. The Handle of the wand is designed to ease the process of sterile sheathing while handing it into the sterile field by giving each person a place to grip. The Wand Cord exits the back end of the handle and connects to the Wand Connection on the SmartWand Box. Two LEDs mounted on the wand provide visual cues about the system’s operation. The Bi-Color LED displays detection status while the Single Color LED displays the wand’s power status. To scan the patient; hold the wand by its handle, pass it over the body maintaining a distance of 2 to 3 inches above, while completing five head to toe sweeps at a rate of 7 inches a second. Refer to Chapter 2 for the complete patient scanning procedure.

Wand Cord Provides power to the SmartWand while also allowing it to communicate with the SmartWand Box. SmartSponge Disposables The SmartWand-DTX System utilizes surgical sponges and towels that have been “tagged” with an RFID transponder. This RFID tag is similar in size to a Tic Tac® and does not contain a battery. Because each sponge contains a tag with unique identification, the SmartWand-DTX can quickly and accurately detect and identify each sponge. The SmartWand-DTX System relies on accessories for proper use. These accessories are described briefly in Table 1-3.

The cover is passed into the sterile field and then applied to the SmartWand as it is handed in. Figure 1-5 shows the wand cover package. Figure 1-5 • • 1-7 •• • • Sterile Cover for SmartWand (outside of surgical kit) Chapter 1: System Description - System Components SmartTags SmartTags are passive RFID labels that have an adhesive backing (see Figure 1-6). Prior to surgery, a SmartTag is to be positioned under the surgical site between the bottom sheet and the draw sheet on the OR table. Chapter 2 describes the positioning of the SmartTag on the OR table. The purpose of the SmartTag is to provide confidence to the user that the SmartWand is working properly and scanning the entire depth of the surgical site. Using a SmartTag is a direct indication of effective scan depth and thereby better than proxy methods such as BMI. Detection of the SmartTag assures the user that the wand is functioning and being used properly such that any SmartSponges remaining inside the patient can be identified quickly. There are two types of SmartTags. • The standard SmartTag is for use with OR tables with phenolic tops. These are the most common OR tables. • SmartTag Special is for use on OR tables with carbon-fiber tops. These are less common. It is important to use the correct SmartTag so that indication of scan depth by the wand is dependable. If you are uncertain, ClearCount can provide assistance at the time of installation to help determine which SmartTag type should be used with your OR tables. Standard SmartTag Figure 1-6 SmartTag Special SmartTag / SmartTag Special Chapter 1: System Description - System Components • • • 1-8 • • • Chapter 2: Initial Setup and Operation •••••• Chapter 2 describes the initial setup and operation of the SmartWand-DTX System.

If problems with the system occur, call ClearCount Medical Solutions. Step 1 Attach the wand cable to the front of the wand box. Step 2 Find a stable place in the operating room within reach of the wand cable length to set the system. Warning! Inspect the power cord prior to each use, and replace it if damaged. A frayed or worn cord presents an electrical shock hazard that may result in personal injury or death. Step 3 Check that the power cord supplied with the system is securely plugged into the power entry module of the system. Step 4 Connect the power cord to a grounded, 120 VAC power outlet. Step 5 Set the power ( | / O) switch shown in Figure 2-1 to the | (on) position. The system will then power on, run a diagnostic check, and enter Ready to Wand Mode. During the diagnostic check the LEDs on both the wand and box will flash to assure proper operation. The system will beep once when switched on and again when Ready to Wand Mode is entered. Power Switch Plug In Figure 2-1 Location of On/Off Switch Note • The SmartWand-DTX does not contain any backup power source. • During the power-on diagnostic check be sure to observe proper LED operation. Chapter 2: Initial Setup and Operation - Initial Setup • • • 2-2 • • • Placing the SmartTag Before the start of a surgery, place a SmartTag between the surgical sheets under the surgical site of the patient. The standard SmartTag is to be used on phenolic top OR tables while the SmartTag Special is for use with carbon fiber top OR tables. Figure 2-2 shows a SmartTag and its placement. The SmartTag is an adhesive sticker that contains a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. This tag provides feedback to the SmartWand-DTX System that the SmartWand is functioning and reading through the depth of the patient when a scan is performed. Warning! The SmartTag is not approved for application to the patient’s skin. During pre-surgery setup, proceed as follows: Step 1 Select the correct SmartTag type for the OR table being used. Step 2 Peel the backing from the SmartTag. Step 3 Position the SmartTag below the surgical site and apply between the bottom sheet and the draw sheet. Step 4 Place the tag adhesive-side down. Note • If the wrong SmartTag is used on the wrong type of table, it will perform improperly. SmartTag Figure 2-2 • • 2-3 •• • • SmartTag Placement Chapter 2: Initial Setup and Operation - Initial Setup System Operation Activating the System After the SmartWand-DTX System has been plugged in and the power switch turned on, the system starts out in Ready to Wand Mode after system diagnostic checks have completed. The green LED on both the wand and box will illuminate (Figure 2-3) to signal that the SmartWand is now active. “Ready to Wand” will appear on the display along with an audible tone signifying the wand is now ready to scan the patient. Step 1 Verify “Ready to Wand” appears on the display, and the Green LEDs on both the wand and the box are illuminated. Step 2 If the system is in sleep mode (the display is off), press the Panel Button to restore to Ready to Wand Mode. If the Green LED on the wand box is blinking and the message “Wand Not Functioning Check Connection” is displayed, attach the wand cable or see the trouble shooting section for possible causes.

Green LEDs System Message Figure 2-3 Ready to Wand Chapter 2: Initial Setup and Operation - System Operation • • • 2-4 • • • Using the SmartWand The following section explains the patient scanning procedure for the SmartWand. With the SmartTag in place and the system active, the wand is now able to be passed into the sterile field by means of the sterile cover. Warning! If the wand is not covered properly, it may jeopardize the sterility of the field. Step 1 Using sterile technique, apply the sterile cover to the SmartWand as it is passed into the sterile field. Step 2 Ensure the Wand is active; look for the green LED on both the wand and box to be illuminated along with the system message “Ready to Wand”. Step 3 Using the handle, position the wand 2-3 inches above the patient over the surgical site and location of the SmartTag. When the wand detects the SmartTag, the blue LED on both the wand and box will illuminate and the message “SmartTag Detected” will appear on the display. Proceed to scan the patient. Step 4 Slowly scan the patient from head to toe moving at a rate of 7 inches a second, while maintaining a distance of 2-3 inches above the body. It is important to do all 5 scan paths shown in Figure 2-4 to most accurately identify potential retained sponges. If a sponge is detected the system will produce an audible tone, Amber LEDs on the wand and box will illuminate, the system message “Sponge Detected” will be displayed, and the type and quantity of the sponge(s) detected will be displayed on the screen. See Figure 2-5 Step 5 Press the panel button to reset the display and the Bi-Color LED if a rescan is desired. Notes • A SmartTag is recommend but not required for system operation. Without the tag, • • • • • • 2-5 •• • • functionality and scan depth cannot be assured. The system will only produce the audible tone and illuminate the Amber LEDs when the detected sponge is in range of the wand. This aids in locating the sponge(s) by their vicinity to the wand. If more than 3 sponge types are detected, the display will change to “Multi Types” detected and add the detected sponges into one total quantity. See Figure 2-6 The system will remain in Ready to Wand Mode 30 minutes after pressing the panel button. Holding the wand by anything other than the handle will affect its performance.
