the sterile field.
Step 3
Press the
WAND

Step 4
Using the handle, hold the SmartWand over the site where the SmartTag has been placed. When
detected, the green LED on the wand will stay illuminated and the screen displays the message
“
Scan Range Confirmed”
. This message confirms that the wand is reading completely through
the patient.
Without a SmartTag under the patient, the user is unable to verify they are scanning completely
through the patient. However the scanning operation may still be successful.
Warning!
•
Using the SmartWand without a sterile wand cover may contaminate the sterile
field.
To clear the
detection counts
from the screen,
press the
RESET
button.
