Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is a computer device for tracing (100) surgical instruments (DMi, i being a positive integer) in a hospital environment, said device (100) comprising: —a support platform (10) designed to receive a surgical instrument (DMi, i being a positive integer), a digital camera (20) designed to capture at least one digital image (I) comprising a view from above of at least a portion of the surgical instrument (DMi), an electronic circuit for processing images (30) configured for detecting in said at least one digital image (I) at least one visual characteristic of said surgical instrument (DMi) and for determining at least one piece of visual data (P_PIC) associated with said pictorial element, a digital scale (40) configured to measure the weight of the surgical instrument (DMi) and to determine weight data (D_PDSi) containing information relating to the measured weight; the present invention also relates to the associated method.

Abstract: The present invention concerns, in this example, a sterilization case (200) for surgical instruments (210) including an electronic identity device (100) for the monitoring and traceability of the case and the content of same, the electronic device (100) including:—a measurement module (10) for taking at least one measurement relative to at least one parameter representative of an environmental condition to which the sterilization case (200) is exposed and for generating an item of digital measurement data (D_M) depending on the measurement,—a storage module (20) for storing the generated item of measurement data (D_M),—a communication module (30) suitable for cooperating with the storage module (20) in order to transmit the item of measurement data (D_M) to an external reader (300, 300?) when the external reader (300, 300?) interacts with the communication module (30).
