Disclosed is a device and method for controlling operations of a tracking device installed in a surgical kit. The method includes receiving one or more signals from an accelerometer in which the accelerometer may be configured to transmit the one or more signals upon detecting change in a state of the surgical kit. Further, the state may be a stationary state and/or an in-motion state. The method further includes activating the tracking device based on the one or more signals and obtaining a location co-ordinate of the surgical kit from the tracking system. The method furthermore includes transmitting the state of the surgical kit and the location co-ordinate of the surgical kit via a communication channel based on a signal strength of the communication channel and deactivating the tracking device, thereby controlling operations of a tracking device installed in a surgical kit.
