CHERRY HILL, N.J.

Haldor Advanced Technologies, the leading provider of RFID-enabled surgical item visibility solutions for hospitals and sterilization centers, and Device Technologies, a leading Australian distributor of medical devices, signed a cooperation agreement that will enable the distribution of Haldor’s RFID solutions in Australia and New Zealand.

Haldor’s ORLocate^® solution is the first commercially available intuitive, interoperable system to leverage RFID technology to track, manage and analyze surgical instruments on an individual basis throughout Sterile Processing Departments and Operating Rooms.

ORLocate^® enables hospitals to significantly reduce costs associated with surgical instrument shrinkage as well as provides usage data on each instrument to ensure accurate set size and overall inventory, optimizes workflow by actively guiding and monitoring the technician’s processes to ensure compliance, and enhances the quality of patient care by managing infection control with accurate instrument level data. For more information see a short video.

“We are truly excited about this partnership. Device Technologies’ distinguished reputation and leading position in the Australian and New Zealand markets in collaboration with Haldor’s breakthrough and leading technology in the field of surgical items management and tracking will bring significant value to hospitals in these two important markets. The value will be realized through optimizing processing efficiency, reducing costs and enhancing patient safety through improved individual surgical instrument management,” said Rubi Halberthal, CEO & President, Haldor Advanced Technologies.

“We are very proud to be associated with Haldor Advanced Technologies and innovative technology like this,” said Device Technologies Australia CEO Peter Ord. “We see surgical items management and tracking as a key driver of hospital efficiency for this region both now and most certainly in the future. By being able to provide solutions like this, it gives us the opportunity to really engage with our customers and partner with them to realise these positive outcomes. This technology fits well with our own brand positioning in the market and we look forward to a mutually rewarding partnership with Haldor.”

Driven by the joined conviction that utilization of RFID technologies in the healthcare space will improve efficiency, elevate productivity and improve patient care, Haldor and Device are now preparing the introduction of ORLocate^® solution in Australia and New Zealand.
