Safety Management Identification System and Detection Method for Acupuncture Needles

Abstract

A safety management and identification system for acupuncture needles is provided, which is paired with multiple electronic tags. The multiple electronic tags are attached to the bodies of their respective acupuncture needles. An electronic tag identification device reads the relevant information of the multiple acupuncture needles recorded by the multiple electronic tags. An image capturing device captures the image-related information of the multiple acupuncture needles. A central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, and a computer computing system determine whether the relevant information of the multiple acupuncture needles recorded by the electronic tags is consistent with the image-related information of the multiple acupuncture needles captured by the image capturing device. The relevant information and the judgment result are stored in a database.
