Current procedures rely on manual counts throughout and at the end of each surgery. The manual count is lengthy, burdensome, and carries the risk of injuries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Technical solution<\/jats:title>\n This paper presents the design and early evaluation of a technology aid to automatize the sharps\u2019 counting process; it is composed of a shell holding a set of optical sensors that count needles that pass through the shell\u2019s top slot.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Proof of concept<\/jats:title>\n The device was tested with needles originating from 20 surgeries. Users surveyed reported a decrease in counting time and perceived injury risk. The average count error was 4.4%, indicating the need to continue advancing the technology.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Next steps<\/jats:title>\n The counting technology needs to be refined to increase accuracy, and a user guide for the equipment must be prepared. Thereafter, a new set of trials must be performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Our work provides a detailed requirements list for developing a technology aid to improve the needle count process and investigates one possible technological route to address this problem.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15533506231170935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]],"date-time":"2023-04-14T04:14:06Z","timestamp":1681445646000},"page":"672-675","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Design and Early Evaluation of a Device to Improve the Sharp Count Process in Operating Rooms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2759-8036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariana","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo School of Engineering, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel Delage","family":"e Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo School of Engineering, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8361-0637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Zancul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo School of Engineering, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13216"},{"key":"bibr2-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aorn.2012.06.012"},{"key":"bibr3-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e3181656cd5"},{"key":"bibr4-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2011.11.002"},{"key":"bibr5-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/aorn.12698"},{"key":"bibr6-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1553350617690608"},{"key":"bibr7-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0186744"},{"key":"bibr8-15533506231170935","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjinnov-2020-000428"}],"container-title":["Surgical Innovation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/15533506231170935","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/15533506231170935","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/15533506231170935","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T07:23:58Z","timestamp":1777706638000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/15533506231170935"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/15533506231170935"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/15533506231170935","relation":{},"ISSN":["1553-3506","1553-3514"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1553-3506","type":"print"},{"value":"1553-3514","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]]}}}
