Zusammenfassung:	A surgical scalpel handle assembly system and method that requires a surgeon to actively perform a verification process known as a "time out" verification process but specifically requires sequentially moving a series of actuator knobs on a scalpel handle upon affirming each criterion embedded in the scalpel handle. The required sequential confirmation of each criterion unlocks and ejects a blade holder from a scalpel handle to a position fully engaged and ready for blade attachment, surgery and in cutting position. The assembly system and method includes exposed visual indicia on the handle that indicates red color in stand by pre-operative position and indicates green exposed visual indices upon affirming verification of "time out" criteria and thus triggering the deployment of a fully exposed, engaged, and in a ready for surgery for blade attachment in handle.
