COUNTS NOT EQUAL
If any of the surgical items are not accounted for when the CASE SUMMARY button is pressed, the Case
Summary screen will indicate a count status of “COUNTS NOT EQUAL”. You may select the BACK button
to return to the case and search for the missing items.
If you desire to close the case without reconciliation by the system, the OVERRIDE button will need to be
selected. The SmartSponge Flex requires that the user acknowledge the closure of an un-reconciled case. This
is accomplished using the Override Card. Once the Override Card has been presented to the In Scanner, the
system will sound an audible tone and display the count status as “VERIFIED BY ADMIN”. The END CASE
button will now be available at the bottom of the Case Summary screen. When ending the case, the system will
assign an end time to the case and save the case data. The system will automatically return to the Case Selection
screen in preparation for the next case.
