The present invention is a discrete signal-identifying badge and operative system for recognizing, differentiating and distinguishing among the many kinds, shapes and sizes of surgical instruments and tools. The signal-identifying badge is a discrete millimeter-sized article of manufacture which can be easily affixed to an exposed surface of any type, any configuration and any dimension of surgical instrument or tool; and includes a well-cushioned and protected photovoltaic cell-integrated chip transponder unit embedded within a safeguarding three-tier stack construct. The photovoltaic cell of the embedded transponder is activated by the introduction of light energy in any form; and once activated, provides electric power to the electronic circuitry of the transponder unit of the instrument-affixed badge such that a responsive identifying RF signal is emitted to the ambient atmosphere. |
