Abstract
A radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based system for automatically tracking objects used in surgical procedures, and methods of use thereof, are disclosed. More particularly, an objects monitoring system is provided that includes a set of RFID tagged-objects (e.g., RFID tagged-surgical instruments), an RFID reader, an RFID reader antenna installed in a disposable wearable article, a computing device, and optionally a centralized server. A method of operation of the presently disclosed objects monitoring system includes, but is not limited to, the steps of detecting the tagged objects during the surgical procedure and automatically generating a record and count of the “checked out” objects detecting the tagged objects upon completion of the surgical procedure and automatically generating a record and count of the “checked in” objects, automatically comparing and reconciling the record of “checked in” objects with the record of “checked out” objects, and automatically indicating the success or failure of the reconciliation process.
