We provide RFID solutions for OT Management which is help Operation Theaters to manage the inventory during and post surgery for effective count of disposables as well as surgical instruments. Managing the requisite Surgical instruments and disposables for a particular surgery helps in optimization of surgical procedure and helps in inventory management.Understanding Surgeon’s requirements and their preferences during surgery can reduce the surgery time and clean up operations. Experienced surgeons optimize the processes and complete the entire operation in few steps. Surgical operations have to be performed with precision timing as in military drills and ensure the devices, surgical instruments, the swabs and other medical disposables used are counted and moved for recycling.We also manage Hospital theater linen for contamination control and effective sterilization procedures.We study the entire process in use and suggest and devise methods to plug wastages and effective control of inventory. We also provide RFID solutions for sample management.
Instrument-Level Traceability in RFID Operation Theatre (OT) Management
Manual swab and instrument counts are slow and error-prone under surgical time pressure. Effective RFID operation theatre (OT) management extends control to the individual instrument by fixing miniature UHF tags to each item, so a full tray is verified in a single sweep rather than counted by hand. Because surgical instruments are stainless steel, they need anti-metal EPC Gen2 UHF tags built for that surface; Identium manufactures on-metal tags in materials such as PPS and silicone, sealed by ultrasonic welding and epoxy potting, with the right construction specified and validated against your sterilisation cycle before rollout.
A practical deployment pairs handheld Android readers for tray reconciliation with fixed or gate readers at the OT and CSSD doorways, logging each set as it moves out for cleaning, through sterilisation, and back into circulation — the same approach we use for surgical tool tracking. This builds an auditable trail linking every set to its surgery, sterilisation cycle and maintenance history, supporting decontamination compliance and reducing retained-instrument risk. Theatre linen and gowns can ride the same infrastructure via RFID laundry management, and the data feeds into broader hospital and pharma RFID systems.
