Color detection of medical materials is critical in the healthcare industry because color consistency and accuracy directly affect patient safety and the reliability of medical devices . Color not only affects the function of the material, but also affects patient safety and treatment outcomes . Color changes may indicate material aging, contamination or failure, affecting its function and service life . Accurate color detection helps ensure that the quality of materials is stable during production, storage and use, and meets strict medical standards. The color of medical materials, such as surgical instruments, implants and medical device housings, must be strictly controlled to ensure consistency and recognizability under various lighting conditions.

The following are some of the more commonly used applications:

Surgical instruments and implants : such as surgical instruments and artificial joints, color consistency ensures high product quality and safety in use.

Medical packaging materials : Ensure consistent color of sterile packaging to prevent contamination and misuse.

Diagnostic reagents and test strips : Indicate chemical reaction results through color changes to ensure the accuracy of diagnosis.
