“After detailed market analysis, UHN has selected Haldor Advanced Technologies as the RFID enabled instrument tracking solution of choice due to its advanced reporting capabilities and analytics, modularity, and individual instrument level tracking capabilities” said Murat Firat, Manager of Medical Engineering Department, University Health Network.

UHN will be one of the first North American customers to receive the recently released product improvements such as the ORLocate View®, a comprehensive business analytic module designed to provide on-demand data mining and on-the-fly reporting to support a continuous improvement cycle.

“We are honored to be working with one of the most distinguished North American healthcare providers,” said Ilan Kadosh-Tamari, CEO of Haldor Advanced Technologies. “We see this as yet another demonstration that when it comes to track and trace of surgical instruments, ORLocate provides the best end to end visibility platform”
