Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 An embodiment of the device 1 is shown in a perspective exploded view. The device comprises a mechanical counter 2 with a counter display 3 , a cylinder 4 forming a piston / cylinder unit together with a piston 5 as actuating unit 6 , and a control disc 7 . Further components of the device include a counter pin 8 , a control disc 7 via a guide bolt 9 supported rotatably on the counter 2 , a bimetallic element 10 , a ball 11 as force transmission element and a piston rod 12 .

[0030] refer to figure 1 , figure 2 , Figure 3a to Figure 3f and Figure 4 for further description. The counter 2 comprises a central base (not shown in the figures) in which the guide bolt 9 is fixedly received, for example glued. Notches are machined laterally on the guide bolts (see e.g. Figure 4a to Figure 4c ), the bimetallic element 10 snaps into the cutout so that the bimetallic element protrudes from the guide bolt 9 in the radial direction. On the radially outer side of it...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device (1) for counting sterilisation cycles during the sterilisation of medical instruments and devices. The device comprises a counter (2) for recording and reproducing a number of sterilisation cycles, an actuation unit (5, 6, 11, 12, 16) for sterilisation parameter-dependent actuation of the counter (2), and a locking unit (7) for sterilisation parameter-dependent locking of the counter (2), wherein the actuation unit (5, 6, 11, 12, 16) actuates the counter (2) upon exceeding a first threshold sterilisation parameter, and the locking unit (7) locks the counter (2) after an actuation has been carried out and / or after exceeding a second threshold sterilisation parameter, and unlocks same after not meeting a third threshold sterilisation parameter.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for counting sterilization cycles during the sterilization of medical instruments and equipment. Background technique [0002] In clinical daily life, it is often necessary, inter alia, for reasons of quality control to check the number of sterilization cycles to which a medical device, a set of devices or a sterilization container has been subjected. Such documentation on the part of the individual specialists has hitherto been carried out manually, for example by using accounting charts or tables. Clearly, such monitoring of the number of sterilization cycles of an instrument is fraught with uncertainty and unsuitable for testing. Disadvantageously, it is currently not possible to detect the number of sterilization cycles a particular instrument has been subjected to in a reliable, verifiable and automatic manner. Contents of the invention [0003] In connection with this situation, the present invention is based...
