Stud Health Technol Inform. 2017:245:1163-1165.

Abstract

Patient security is a significant issue in medical research and clinical practice at present. The Surgical Verification System (Patent Number: ZL 201420079273.5) is designed to recognize and check surgical sites of patients so as to ensure operation security and decrease the risk for practitioners. Composition: (1) Operating Room Server, (2) Label Reader, (3) E-Label, (4) Surgical Site Display, (5) Ward Client, (6) Label Rader-Writer, and (7) Acousto-Optic Alarm. If the Surgical identification, the surgical site, and so on are incorrect, a flashing label control will appear when the alarm rings. You can specify a sound to play for the alarm, a picture to draw, and a message to send. It is a user-friendly system.
