The RF Assure Detection System uses radio-frequency detection to help identify and prevent potential retained surgical items such as a piece of gauze or sponge. Riverside Regional is using the system in addition to AORN’s standard protocol of manual counting.
“Adjunctive RF detection technology is an important added security in surgical procedures and we are delighted to collaborate with leaders such as Riverside Regional Medical Center who recognize the importance of safeguarding patients and empowering surgical staff to perform at their highest levels,” said Dr. Jeffrey Port, co-founder and chairman of RF Surgical, in the release. “The RF Assure System is quickly becoming the standard of care in eliminating the incidence of RSIs.”
