Operating rooms are hectic by nature. Staff workload is high and interruptions are incessant. The manual sponge counting process is cumbersome.

Distraction, multi-tasking, and time pressure can result in discrepant or false correct counts, eventually leading a retained surgical sponge.

A surgical sponge is retained in 11 cases every day (US). 1

It can take 10 or more minutes to find a missing sponge. 2

False correct counts are the cause of 88% of RSS.3

41% of a nurse’s workday is spent charting. 4
