Abstract
A medical device identification system includes a medical device including an identifier and a sensor device configured to read the identifier of the medical device. The system further includes an output device configured to provide feedback related to the medical device and a monitoring system communicably coupled to the sensor device and the output device. The monitoring system is configured to identify the medical device based on the identifier of the medical device read by the sensor device and transmit feedback to the output device specific to the medical device.
Claims20
A medical device identification system, comprising:
- a medical device including an identifier;
- a sensor device configured to read the identifier of the medical device;
- an output device configured to provide feedback to a user related to the medical device;
- and
- a monitoring system communicably coupled to the sensor device and the output device, the monitoring system configured to:
- identify the medical device based on the identifier of the medical device read by the sensor device;
- and
- transmit feedback to the output device specific to the medical device.
A method for identifying and tracking a medical device in an operation, comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor device, a medical device being used in an operation;
- reading, by the sensor device, an identifier of the medical device;
- identifying, by a processing circuit, the medical device based on the identifier of the medical device;
- and
- providing, by the processing circuit via an output device, feedback to a user specific to the medical device in response to the medical device being used in the operation.
