A tracking device and system for tracking medical supplies, in particular, medical trays and their components is disclosed. The tracking device utilizes GPRS/GSM/CDMA/Wi-Fi/AGPS technology to enable an individual to locate and monitor the movement of a medical tray at any given time and for any desired period of time. The tracking system utilizes geo-fences established around buildings or Wi-Fi or RFID to assist in determining the specific location within a building of the medical trays, as well as the status of the items that may be inside of them. The tracking devices can be activated and deactivated to conserve power and battery life. The tracking devices can also be activated by sensors to alert the tracking system of a housing breach, a possible theft or misplacement of the tray. The tracking system incorporates software which enables an individual to determine the location of medical trays, determine the contents of the trays and schedule the use of the medical trays by specific doctors and at specific locations. The tracking system also retains information regarding the doctors, the medical device manufacture representatives, the hospitals and sales of the medical devices.
