Method of scanning medical instruments

Abstract

A method of scanning medical instruments for reading a code of at least one medical instrument is provided, wherein the code contains an instrument data corresponding to the at least one medical instrument. The method of scanning medical instruments includes capturing a first image of the at least one medical instrument by an image capture unit; capturing a second image of the at least one medical instrument by a lateral image capture unit, wherein the second image is different from the first image; and providing a process module to receive the first image and the second image, and reading the code of the at least one medical instrument from the first image and the second image. By replacing manual operations with automated equipment, the efficiency and accuracy of scanning medical instruments are enhanced.
