d-Tect-OR™ announces the Development of a Foreign Object Detection System for
use in Hospital Operating Rooms
Utilizing
technology that has been contributed by EnXnet, Inc.
(OTCBB Symbol: EXNT) (German Symbol E8U; German WKN# A0HMDW), d-Tect-OR™ has developed a Foreign Object Detection System
that uses a hand held wand and has patented the system. This system is capable of detecting surgical
instruments and surgical products such as gauze, laparotomy
sponges, and OR towels manufactured with d-Tect-OR’s™
detection technology. Additionally, this
system has a dual modality and is capable of locating surgical instrumentation
left in the body during a surgical procedure.
One additional advantage with this capability is that the wand will be
able to locate expensive instrumentation that may have inadvertently been
tossed out during a procedure.
The impact
to the health care industry resulting from foreign objects left in the body
during surgery is evident in the following articles. An August 2005 article in Clinical Nuclear Medicine concluded that
incidences of retained surgical sponge are as frequent as 1 in 100 to 3,000 for
all surgical interventions and 1 in 1,000 to 1,500 for intra- abdominal
surgical interventions. Another study
estimated 1 in 100 to 5,000 with a resulting mortality rate of 11% to 35%. The human suffering and financial cost of
these errors is tremendous.
The d-Tect-OR™ Foreign Object Detection System not only has the
great potential to save these lives, but it will also benefit the health care
industry in three major areas; the hospital’s cost to litigate, the cost to the
hospital to re-operate to remove the foreign object, and the ultimate legal
settlement. If you have questions or
would like additional information, please use the contact information that
follows to make inquiries.
This release may include forward-looking statements from the company
that may or may not materialize.
Additional information on factors that could potentially affect the
company’s financial results may be found in the company’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
