Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the work or preparation and management which are carried out by nurses by hand, and further to prevent human-caused mistakes. CONSTITUTION:An operational instrument A (for example, a forceps A1) is equipped with a machine-readable recording part B (for example, bar code B1). An IC chip memory or the like, which can store necessary information therein, can be used as the recording part B, besides key cords, such as bar codes, for reading information from a database. Anyone can instantly distinguish the kind of an operational instrument A by reading the recording part B with a reader, and further can retrieve and get the information on the operational instrument A from the database.
