Operating Room RFID Reader
Haldor Advanced Technologies announced an extension of its ORLocate product portfolio with the launch of the HoveRead, a handheld RFID reader designed to work with and extend the ORLocate workstation’s offering. In the operating room, the HoveRead allows the scrub and circulating nurse to easily count all the instruments placed on a Mayo Tray, the back table or within a metal container. Because of that, it provides vital assistance during intraoperative counting executed several times along the procedure. The HoveRead can be used to register RFID tagged sponges in the sterile zone and count used sponges placed in nylon bags or dedicated plastic bins. In the Sterile Processing Department (SPD), connected with an ORLocate workstation, the HoveRead can be used to register the arrival of sets and instruments on the production floor while placed on trolleys and thus improve productivity.
