1. An instrument sterilization monitoring system, comprising:
a server; and
a sterilization device being used to perform a sterilization procedure on a plurality of instruments to be sterilized;
wherein a mobile device including an image capturing module is used by a user to log in to the server; and
the server determines, according to image information of a plurality of sterilization device indication devices of the sterilization device and image information of a plurality of instrument indication devices of the instruments to be sterilized, whether or not the sterilization device and the instruments to be sterilized reach a plurality of sterilization standards;
wherein a first sterilization device indication device and a second sterilization device indication device are disposed in the sterilization device; at least one of the instruments to be sterilized and a first instrument indication device are placed together in a packaging material, to form an instrument package; a second instrument indication device is disposed outside the instrument package; the plurality of instruments to be sterilized is packaged to form a plurality of instrument packages, and the plurality of instrument packages are placed in the sterilization device to perform the sterilization procedure; the first sterilization device indication device includes a first sterilization device indication label, each of the second sterilization device indication devices includes a second sterilization device indication label, each of the first instrument indication devices includes a first instrument indication label, and each of the second instrument indication devices includes a second instrument indication label; the image capturing module of the mobile device is used to capture image information of the first sterilization device indication device and image information of the corresponding first sterilization device indication label, and transmits the image information of the first sterilization device indication device and the image information of the first sterilization device indication label to the server; then, when packaging the first instrument indication devices and the instruments to be sterilized, the image information of the first instrument indication devices corresponding to the plurality of instruments to be sterilized and image information of the first instrument indication labels, and transmits the image information of the first instrument indication devices and the image information of the first instrument indication labels are captured to the server; and afterwards, the image capturing module of the mobile device is used to capture image information of the second instrument indication devices respectively on the plurality of instrument packages and image information of the corresponding second instrument indication labels, and transmits the image information of each of the second instrument indication devices and the image information of each of the second instrument indication labels to the server,
wherein after the sterilization device completes the sterilization procedure, image information of the second instrument indication device subjected to the sterilization procedure and image information of the second instrument indication label subjected to the sterilization procedure are captured; and transmits the image information of the second instrument indication device and the second instrument indication label that are subjected to the sterilization procedure to the server,
wherein the image capturing module of the mobile device is used to capture image information of the first sterilization device indication device subjected to the sterilization procedure, image information of the second sterilization device indication device subjected to the sterilization procedure, image information of the first sterilization device indication label subjected to the sterilization procedure, and image information of the second sterilization device indication label subjected to the sterilization procedure, and transmits the image information of the first sterilization device indication device, the second sterilization device indication device, the first sterilization device indication label, and the second sterilization device indication label that are subjected to the sterilization procedure to the server,
wherein the server determines, according to the image information of the second instrument indication device, the second instrument indication label, the first sterilization device indication device, the first sterilization device indication label, and the second sterilization device indication label that are subjected to the sterilization procedure, whether or not the instruments to be sterilized meet a sterilization standard.
