Improvement of Patient Safety Through the Development of Surgical Instrument Tracking Systems with Radio-Frequency Identification Technology

Description

Surgical instruments are reused after being cleaned and sterilized. However, if a tracking system is not equipped, the usage history is not managed, so it is impossible to identify the cause and take appropriate measures when an infection problem occurs. In addition, since it is difficult to grasp the progress of cleaning and sterilization of surgical instruments, if surgical instruments are insufficient compared to the number of surgical cases, preparation for surgery may be delayed, which may cause many problems. In conclusion, through the development of a surgical instrument tracking system, it complies with international guidelines, prevents potential transmission of infection and enables appropriate follow-up measures in case of problems, promotes patient safety, and furthermore, improves the convenience of managing surgical instruments, manpower and equipment from the central supply department.
