Assisted reproduction laboratory ware marking and automatic identification equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to assisted reproduction laboratory ware marking and automatic identification equipment. An inkjet printing machine is connected with an X / Y axis moving platform through a data line and an electric lead; the inkjet printing machine and a two-dimension code signal reader are connected with a PC through a data line; a ware supporting mold is arranged on the X / Y axis moving platform; the two-dimension code reader is horizontally arranged on a clean bench and aligns with a two-dimension code on the outer side of the ware; the motion control end of the X / Y axis moving platformis connected with the instruction output end of the inkjet printing machine; a groove for accommodating the ware is formed above the X / Y axis moving platform; printing ink, a touch display screen anda spray head are arranged on the inkjet printing machine; and the spray head aligns with the ware in the groove. "Name+medical record number" batched printing are conducted on the top surface and thebottom surface of the assisted reproduction laboratory ware, mini two-dimension codes which male parent and female parent information is stored in are printed on the outer side surface of the ware inbatches, the information is acquired by the two-dimension code reader before gamete or embryo operation, is uploaded to the PC and is compared with a patient information database, and whether the ware to be operated is correct or not is identified.

Description

[0001] Technical field: [0002] The invention relates to an assisted reproductive laboratory vessel marking and automatic identification equipment. [0003] Background technique: [0004] With the liberalization of the country's comprehensive "two-child" policy, there are about 90 million couples in China who meet the two-child standard, of which 60 million are women over the age of 35. Many of these elderly women need assisted reproduction if they want to conceive (test-tube baby) technology. However, due to the superimposed influence of factors such as environmental pollution, high work and life pressure, increasing age, and unhealthy lifestyles, according to the "China Infertility Research Report" jointly issued by the China Population Association and the National Family Planning Commission, China's infertility The incidence of infertility is 12.5%-15%, and the number of patients exceeds 40 million, which means that 1 out of every 7-8 couples suffers from infertility probl...

In terms of marking: the currently commonly used way of marking vessels is to use an oil-based marker pen to transcribe the patient's "name + medical record number" on the lid and bottom of the vessel, but this method requires a lot of manual handwriting, especially for the words on the bottom of the vessel Transcribing is an anti-joint writing process, which is very inconvenient. Two oily marker pens will volatilize organic solvent gas (VOC), which is likely to cause potential damage to gametes or embryos; position, but the bottom of the label paper contains adhesive, which will also produce VOC, which is not good for the embryo, and the label paper is usually opaque, which makes it difficult to mark the bottom of the dish. In addition, the label paper also has the risk of falling off, which is easy to cause safety hazards; identification Aspects: At present, most reproductive medicine centers adopt the method of "two-person check", but the surge in the number of patients, the complexity of the operation process, the variety of vessels used, and the long incubation time all affect the manual check. Inattention will lead to wrong combination of sperm and egg or wrong embryo to be transferred back to the mother's uterus, and once similar mistakes occur, it will lead to serious ethical problems and medical disputes

There are also reproductive medicine centers that use metal bases pasted with barcodes to carry containers to achieve machine-assisted identification. However, since the barcodes are very close to the containers and are pasted upwards, during the process of reading information with a barcode scanner, It is easy for the scanner laser to irradiate the gametes or embryos, and it is still doubtful whether this will have adverse effects on the embryos. In addition, the bottom support will also be separated from the culture vessel, and the separation will cause trouble for identification. In addition The use of metal bottom support will bring some inconvenience to the handling of gametes or embryos

There are also some foreign companies (RI company in the UK), based on radio frequency identification technology (RFID), using RFID tags to achieve the purpose of electronic information storage and automatic identification, but RFID tags need to be placed in the magnetic field where the reader is located to play a role. Signal reception and return, and whether artificial magnetic fields and RFID tags embedded with integrated circuits and chips have adverse effects on adjacent tiny embryos still need follow-up research on the safety of offspring. The bonding of utensils often requires more adhesives, and the volatilization of VOC gas is not good for embryos
