Counting System
The SmartSponge Flex utilizes surgical gauze, sponges, and towels that have been “tagged” with an RFID tag.
This RFID tag is about the size of a typical medicine capsule and does not contain a battery. Because each
sponge contains a tag with unique identification, the system can quickly and accurately count and identify each
sponge.
See
Figure 1-1
for the location of the components and

for the description.
