Medtronic/Minimally Invasive Therapies Group Medtronic Situate System 200x Kits

The Medtronic Situate System is highly advanced, providing reliable detection of tagged surgical sponges up to 16 inches away in vivo (within the patient).

This superior capability ensures surgical safety with 100% sensitivity and specificity, operating effectively through challenging media, including:

• Fat
• Dense tissue
• Blood
• Bone
• Proximity to metal

The speed and accuracy of this detection significantly enhance OR workflow, often requiring less time than traditional manual counting methods.

The Medtronic Situate System offers exceptional accuracy with 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting tagged sponges. This ensures reliable detection and enhances patient safety during surgical procedures.

The Medtronic Situate System is engineered for surgical safety, guaranteeing 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting retained tagged sponges. This comprehensive reliability is achieved through the seamless integration of several advanced components:

• Tagged Cotton: Specialized surgical sponges embedded with tags that the system accurately recognizes.
• Automated Body Scanner: Designed for in vivo use, it reliably locates tagged sponges up to 16 inches away. A key benefit is its capability to detect sponges successfully through challenging media like fat, dense tissue, blood, bone, and near metal, ensuring high performance in complex surgical environments.
• Console: This central user interface provides on-screen prompts to guide staff through the detection workflow. It also generates unique confirmation codes for every scan, simplifying EMR entry and count reconciliation before the procedure concludes.
• Room Scanner: Provides comprehensive detection coverage for any tagged sponges that may be outside the patient but still within the operating room environment.

The Medtronic Situate System is designed for superior patient safety, reliably detecting tagged surgical sponges up to 16 inches away in vivo.

This high performance is guaranteed with 100% sensitivity and specificity. The system maintains its detection capability even when operating through challenging biological and environmental media, including:

• Fat and dense tissue
• Blood and bone
• Proximity to metal surgical instruments

Yes, the Medtronic Situate System 200x is highly reliable and specifically engineered for robust performance in challenging surgical environments.

The system guarantees 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting tagged surgical sponges, performing detection faster than manual counting methods.

It is designed to reliably locate tagged items up to 16 inches away (in vivo), successfully penetrating various complex media and operating effectively in difficult areas, including:

• Fat and dense tissue
• Blood
• Bone
• Areas near metal

Yes, the Medtronic Situate System is designed for seamless integration into existing operating room (OR) workflows, significantly streamlining documentation and aiding in Electronic Medical Records (EMR) entry.

Key features that enhance efficiency and safety documentation include:

• Guided Workflow: The console’s user interface provides clear on-screen prompts to guide OR staff through the detection process.
• Data Output: The system generates unique confirmation codes for every scan.
• Immediate EMR Entry: These unique codes facilitate direct EMR entry during the procedure, allowing for immediate reconciliation of sponge counts and inaccuracies before the surgical case is closed.

This feature ensures accurate, verifiable data is captured quickly, improving patient safety compared to traditional manual counting methods.

The Medtronic Situate System 200x Kits are offered in two primary configurations, both designed to ensure accurate sponge detection in the operating room. All kits generally include the core components like the Console X, Body Scanner, Room Scanner, and Tagged Cotton.

The two available configurations are:

1. Body Scanner & Room Scanner without ARQ SPH
2. Extremity Scanner, Body Scanner & Room Scanner with ARQ SPH (This comprehensive kit includes the Extremity Scanner and the ARQ SPH component for broader application.)

Yes, the Medtronic Situate System 200x Kits are designed to perform the detection of tagged surgical sponges in less time than traditional manual counting methods, significantly boosting OR workflow efficiency.

Key efficiency features include:

• 100% Detection Accuracy: The system provides guaranteed results with 100% sensitivity and specificity, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual recounts or uncertainty.
• Seamless Integration: It integrates non-disruptively into existing Operating Room (OR) protocols.
• Workflow Guidance: The console uses on-screen prompts to guide staff systematically through the detection process.
• EMR Support: Unique confirmation codes are generated for every scan, which facilitates convenient and rapid Electronic Medical Record (EMR) entry during the procedure.

The Medtronic Situate System detects tagged sponges with 100% sensitivity and specificity, ensuring no sponges are missed during surgical procedures.

Yes, the Medtronic Situate System 200x Kits require the use of specific tagged surgical sponges (listed as ‘tagged cotton’ in the component sheet) to function correctly. This specialized tagging is essential for the system’s high-reliability performance and accuracy.Using these specific tagged sponges allows the Situate System to deliver guaranteed safety and accuracy during procedures: * 100% Accuracy: The system achieves 100% sensitivity and specificity in locating tagged sponges. * Deep Detection: It reliably detects missing or retained sponges up to 16 inches away in vivo. * Robust Performance: Detection remains effective even in challenging environments, including through fat, dense tissue, blood, bone, or near metal instruments.
