Methods, systems, and products track equipment used during surgical procedures. An allowable zone associated with a surgical procedure is identified. The allowable zone determines where surgical items may be used during the procedure. A location of a surgical item is determined. When the location is outside the allowable zone, an alarm is triggered to indicate the surgical item is moving outside the allowable zone towards an area in which the surgical item may not be used.

1. A method comprising: identifying, via a computing device, an allowable zone in a patient's body based on a type of surgical procedure in which a surgical item is to be used;determining, via the computing device, a location of the surgical item;determining, via the computing device, when the locat
1. A method comprising: identifying, via a computing device, an allowable zone in a patient's body based on a type of surgical procedure in which a surgical item is to be used;determining, via the computing device, a location of the surgical item;determining, via the computing device, when the location of the surgical item is outside the allowable zone; andtriggering, via the computing device, an alarm to indicate that the surgical item is outside the allowable zone, when the location of the surgical item is outside the allowable zone. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: associating the type of surgical procedure to a patient. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the location of the surgical item comprises interrogating a tag to determine the location of the surgical item. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying a zone in which the surgical item is not to be used. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: matching the surgical item to the type of surgical procedure. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: producing an alarm when the surgical item does not match the type of surgical procedure. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: billing for the surgical item used for the type of surgical procedure. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining an inventory of the surgical item. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: comparing a remaining inventory of the surgical item to a reorder point; andwhen the remaining inventory is below the reorder point, ordering a new inventory of the surgical item. 10. A system, comprising: a processor executing a program that causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising: identifying an allowable zone in a patient's body based on a type of surgical procedure in which a surgical item is to be used;determining a location of the surgical item;determining the location is outside the allowable zone; andtriggering an alarm to indicate the surgical item is outside the allowable zone. 11. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: associating the type of surgical procedure to a patient. 12. The system of claim 11, the operations further comprising: producing an alarm when the type of surgical procedure does not match the patient. 13. The system of claim 10, wherein the determining the location of the surgical item comprises interrogating a tag to determine the location of the surgical item. 14. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: identifying a zone in which the surgical item is not to be used. 15. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: matching the surgical item to the type of surgical procedure. 16. The system of claim 15, the operations further comprising: producing an alarm when the surgical item does not match the type of surgical procedure. 17. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: billing for the surgical item used for the type of surgical procedure. 18. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: determining an inventory of the surgical item. 19. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: comparing a remaining inventory of the surgical item to a reorder point; andwhen the remaining inventory is below the reorder point, ordering a new inventory of the surgical item. 20. The system of claim 10, the operations further comprising: tracking a time the surgical item was used during a surgical procedure.
