摘要 |
The invention relates to a piece of equipment ( 1 ) that is used to detect detectable surgical products and, in particular, to detect electronically-detectable elements (EDE). The inventive equipment is of the type which uses an exploration unit ( 3 ) and a control unit ( 4 ), said exploration unit comprising means of emitting ( 15 ) electromagnetic radiations and means of receiving ( 16 ) the electronic radiations produced by the metallic alignment of the electronically detectable element (EDE). The aforementioned exploration unit ( 3 ) operates using a computer program which is integrated in the control unit ( 4 ) and which processes the morphology and the harmonics of the electromagnetic radiations received by the receiving means ( 16 ) in order to detect the presence of electronically-detectable elements (EDE) in the patient. The invention is based on the reading of the fundamental frequency harmonics of the electromagnetic radiation from the emitting means ( 15 ) and the inventive equipment comprises indicators ( 5 a , 5 b y 5 c) which display results obtained.
