The GuardianOR™ Instrument Detector is a precision metal detector constructed of heavy duty, injection molded Polycarbonate. It is moisture resistant and is hinged upon a PVC hamper stand. The GuardianOR™ system employs the latest advances in precision metal detection. This technology comes directly from the latest innovations in the aerospace, security and electronics fields. These units are patented and guaranteed. You can be assured that nothing of value is accidentally thrown away in your waste or linen hampers. The GuardianOR™ Instrument Detector instantly alerts personnel that metallic surgical instruments have been discarded at the exact “Point Of Loss” allowing for immediate and easy retrieval. The mere presence of the GuardianOR™ Instrument Detector creates an environment of caution and compliance within the OR suite. The GuardianOR™ incorporates a Digital Counter that increments by one each time there is a detection occurrence. Hospital management is able to monitor compliance of the GuardianOR™ through the use of the Digital Counter which is only resettable by a security key. Each OR suite and the personnel within the OR suite can be individually accountable through resetting of the Digital Counter at the beginning of each shift. Integrated into the GuardianOR™ is a self contained, rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack. There is no need for a power cord providing total portability around the operating room. Hospital payback is achieved by retrieval of just a few costly instruments. There is no other operating room purchase that can return so many dollars to a hospital’s bottom line in such a short period of time. It truly pays for itself and keeps on paying back with every instrument retained.
