Abstract
A system and method for managing the contents of a medical storage container, such as a tray, that has an inventory of medical articles. A Faraday cage enclosure is used to isolate, scan, and inventory the container. The container and each of the medical articles in the container have a respective RFID tag. A processor is programmed to retrieve the inventory list for the container based on its RFID tag and compare the actual contents of the container according to their tags to the inventory list. The processor is also programmed to show the layout of the pockets of a tray and show an indicator of which pocket a particular medical article should be located.
