RF Surgical Sponge-Detecting System on the Function of Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
If a surgical sponge is mistakenly left inside a patient's body after a surgical procedure, it can cause a serious infection. To prevent this from happening, a new device has been developed that uses radiofrequency (RF) signals…
