Abstract
Methods, systems, and products track all equipment used in a surgical suite through the use of RFID tags. A database is queried for a surgical procedure associated with a patient. An allowable zone is determined on the patient's body in which surgical items may be used during the surgical procedure. When an RFID tag indicates that a surgical item is moving outside the allowable zone, then an alarm is triggered. The alarm indicates that the surgical item is moving outside the allowable zone and towards an area of the patient's body in which the surgical item may not be used.
