Figure 1 Comparison of retained surgical sponge reporting trends for organizations that use radiofrequentcy (RF) technology and those that do not. †Arrows indicate implementation period for RF technology.

Figure 2 Comparison of operating room time at organizations that use radiofrequency (RF) technology and those that do not. Organizations in the RF technology group implemented the technology between 2007 and 2009. Data on operating room (OR) time before implementation of RF technology are not included. The types of cases in which the technology was used was not available. Data were not adjusted for case mix. (Reprinted from: University HealthSystem Consortium, with permission.)

Figure 3 Cost-benefit analysis for the use of radiofrequency (RF) technology. *The cost of the RF mat and wand were not included because of variability in the cost based on product usage.
