Abstract

A medical device and processing counter for medical devices for counting sterilizations of the medical device itself. The medical device and processing counter have an elastic film at least a part of which have elasticity, an airtight chamber having an airtight space isolated from the outside by means of the elastic film, and counting means for counting deformations of the elastic film.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to medical equipment capable of detecting and recording the number of times of washing, disinfection, and sterilization performed on medical equipment, and a treatment counting device for medical equipment. Background technique [0002] Medical equipment that has been reused has been washed, disinfected and sterilized every time it is used for diagnosis or treatment. In the treatment of washing, disinfection, and sterilization of medical equipment (hereinafter simply referred to as sterilization treatment), dirt is removed and microorganisms are killed by treatment using chemical components, heat treatment, and physical treatment. Since the sterilization process applies chemical, thermal and physical stress to the medical device, damage accumulates in the medical device due to the sterilization process. [0003] Therefore, in order to safely and continuously use medical equipment for a long time, users of medical equipmen...
