METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AND MONITORING A MEDICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a device for monitoring and identifying a medical instrument, capable of being incorporated in the instrument itself, and provided with the sufficient storage capacity to store all the data relative to the use of the instrument. The device for monitoring and identifying the medical instrument (10) comprises an electronic component (14) integrated in the grip (11) of said instrument. Said electronic component is an electronic label consisting of an integrated circuit comprising a storage unit containing variable data based on the use to which the instrument (10) is put and means for writing and/or modifying and reading said data. Said label communicates by radio frequency with the software of a motor driving the instrument via read/write interface module to allow said software to monitor said motor based on the cyclic fatigue value of the odontological instrument.
