Also, there are different kinds of complex surgical instruments, sterilization procedures through high-temperature, high pressure and chemical detergent, may affect the stability of RFID tag. This study aims to introduce the use of RFID in the management of surgical instruments. To overcome the difficulty mentioned above, the study provides a solution with the application of RFID technology. And propose a software design which will fit into the clinical workflow, manage the inventory of surgical instruments automatically, to reduce human error. In addition, the checking record could be analyzed, and accommodate further alert and reminding for maintenance and infection control, which may increase patient safety.
