ABSTRACT:
A safety device and procedure for use in correlating a patient and an intended surgical procedure uses a micro-chip programmed with specific information about the patient and the surgery. Part of the information lists an authorized person that may remove the micro-chip. The micro-chip is attached to the patient at the anatomical location of the intended surgery. The chip is scanned to retrieve the information before surgery and if the patient and the surgery are correlated, a printout is placed in the patient's chart. The authorized person removes the chip and surgery proceeds.
