A patient equipped with a device in a first mode is scheduled for a procedure in a procedure room at a facility with pre-procedure rules (e. g., requiring procedure site marking). Only a surgeon or other authorized individual is permitted to change the first mode to a second mode after complying with the rules (e.g., marking a site on the patient's body). A detector is located at or near the entrance of the procedure room for detecting devices having the first mode. If the first mode is detected, an alarm is provided indicating that the rule may not have been followed.
