The SmartSponge Flex is designed to assign a unique number, referred to as a Case ID, to a single session of
counting RFID-tagged disposables that are used in a particular surgical case. This Chapter describes how to
begin a case, proceed through a case, and end a case.
Beginning a Case
The system will perform a series of self checks and display a progress bar when power is applied. The system
will enter the Case Selection mode after the self checks finish.
From the Case Selection screen, select NEW CASE to begin a new case. The system will generate a unique
case number and will display that number in the upper left corner of the screen as the Case ID.
