Product Overview
The GuardianORSM is a "Point
of Loss" device that detects the disposal of surgical instruments allowing
for their retrieval and reuse. It is comprised of a tilt-top plastic lid that has a 13" diameter
center opening with a metal detector fastened to the inner ring of the
unit. The detector coil surrounds
the vertical walls of the lid for detecting metal passing through the opening.
Control electronics coupled to the detector coil includes an audible alarm and
a LED light indicator for warning that the detector coil has detected metal
passing through the opening. A calibration gain is provided for adjusting the
sensitivity of the detector coil. There
is a digital counter that increments each time the unit alarms which is only
resettable with a key. This is
designed for management to be able to monitor each room individually without
having to be physically in the room.
The GuardianORSM is battery powered (Nickel-metal hydride NiMH) and/or
has an AC plug adapter.
