Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical device test and disinfection indicator devices, in particular to an indicator device for testing the disinfection integrity of medical devices. Background Art

[0002] Before using medical devices, in order to avoid infection to the patients, they need to be disinfected and sterilized. Steam disinfection, gas phase or liquid phase disinfection such as hydrogen peroxide or ethylene oxide are all effective means to disinfect medical devices. However, for medical treatment places with relatively poor medical conditions such as township hospitals, the disinfection means are single, and whether the disinfection cabinet is complete can only be judged by time. The indication standards are not complete and accurate enough. In addition, the cost of automated and intelligent disinfection devices is too high, and it is difficult to fully promote them for use in township hospitals and other places, and their practicality is low. When the biological indicator device is inserted, the disinfection cabinet needs to be opened, which destroys the disinfection conditions and is inconvenient to observe whether the disinfection is complete from the outside. When gas phase disinfection or liquid phase disinfection is required, a disinfection cabinet with a single disinfection function is difficult to meet the use needs and increases the use cost. Summary of the invention

[0003] The disclosed embodiment relates to an indicator device for testing the sterilization integrity of medical devices. By providing a residual material leveling piece, it is possible to avoid the situation where residual materials accumulate to the top and then fall off when the plastering plate is leveled.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an indicator device for testing the disinfection integrity of medical equipment, which specifically comprises: a disinfection cabinet; a front end surface of the disinfection cabinet is rotatably connected to a door panel via a hinge, and mounting brackets are fastened to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet via a bolt assembly; a temperature indicator and a mounting plate are installed on the back of the door panel and the inner side of the disinfection cabinet, a slide groove is provided on the outer frame of the door panel, and a push-pull plate is clamped inside the slide groove; a disinfection integrity indicator is mounted on the mounting plate; the mounting brackets are arranged in groups of two, a supporting plate is clamped on each group of mounting brackets, the supporting plate and the mounting bracket constitute a supporting assembly, and a guide sleeve is clamped between the supporting assembly and the disinfection cabinet.

[0005] In at least some embodiments, a reinforcing plate is provided on the back of the temperature indicating member, wedge plates are provided on the left and right sides of the temperature indicating member, the reinforcing plate is connected to the wedge plates, a thermometer is installed inside the temperature indicating member, and a scale line may be provided on the front end surface of the temperature indicating member. During the disinfection process, the temperature is read by passing through the scale line indicated by the liquid level height of the thermometer to determine whether the disinfection has completely reached the specified temperature.

[0006] In at least some embodiments, the disinfection integrity indicator includes a color developing tube and a comparison tube. The color developing tube is placed in the long groove on the top surface of the mounting plate. Two comparison tubes are provided and are placed in the comparison placement grooves respectively. The color developing tube and the comparison tube are fixed by elastic bandages. When disinfection is carried out inside the disinfection cabinet, color display can be performed through the color developing tube. The interior of the right comparison tube is set to the color of the disinfection reaching the set standard, and the interior of the left comparison tube is set to the standard color of complete disinfection. After the disinfection reaches the set standard, the color display inside the color developing tube reaches the color of the right comparison tube, and whether the disinfection has been completed is judged based on the use of the disinfected medical device.

[0007] In at least some embodiments, the guide sleeve includes a clamping tube and a connecting tube, the clamping tube is clamped in the limiting grooves at both ends of the uppermost supporting plate, the bottom of the clamping tube is clamped in the connecting tube, two guide sleeves are provided and are opposite to each other on the left and right, and guide ports are respectively provided on the clamping tube and the connecting tube on the opposite sides of the two guide sleeves, the guide ports are connected with the guide groove, the outer end of the connecting tube is fixedly connected with a drain pipe, the drain pipe passes through the disinfection cabinet and is connected to the outside, after the disinfectant is sprayed out through the disinfection nozzle, the liquid is guided to the inside of the clamping tube and the connecting tube through the guide groove, and finally discharged to the outside of the disinfection cabinet through the drain pipe.

[0008] In at least some embodiments, two horizontal guide grooves are opened on the top surface of the support plate in the left and right directions, and upper and lower limit grooves are opened on the left and right sides of the support plate and at the ends of the guide grooves. The guide grooves can be used to guide the disinfectant in a direction when liquid-containing disinfection is carried out, thereby preventing the medical devices placed on the top surface of the support plate from being immersed in the disinfectant for a long time, and the flushing disinfection is more thorough.

[0009] In at least some embodiments, a connecting plate is connected to the frame of the door panel by bolts, a rectangular slot is opened at the right end of the connecting plate, and the mounting plate is clamped inside the rectangular slot. A disinfection nozzle is installed on the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet. The door panel is made of pressure-resistant and high-temperature resistant transparent materials such as tempered glass. By setting the connecting plate, the mounting plate has an installation and fixing base, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting plate and playing an auxiliary supporting role for the mounting plate.

[0010] In at least some embodiments, the top surface of the mounting plate is provided with two grooves, one long and one short, wherein the short groove is a contrast placement groove, and elastic bandages are placed on the tops of the two grooves respectively. Plug holes are provided on the top surface of the mounting plate and on the front and rear sides of the grooves, and screws are inserted at both ends of the elastic bandage and inside the plug holes.

[0011] In at least some embodiments, the push-pull plate is a rectangular plate and the back side is attached to the front of the door panel. A pull handle is fixedly bonded to the front end face of the push-pull plate, and the upward movable height of the push-pull plate is greater than the height of the temperature indicator. The slide groove opened inside the door panel frame allows the push-pull plate to slide up and down driven by the pull handle, thereby changing the color of the temperature indicator or the disinfection integrity indicator on the back side of the door panel outside the disinfection cabinet to determine whether the disinfection is complete.

[0012] The present invention provides an indicator device for testing the sterilization integrity of medical devices, which has the following beneficial effects: When the present invention is used, after the disinfection reaches the set standard, the color display inside the color developing tube reaches the color of the comparison tube on the right, and whether the disinfection has been completed is judged according to the use of the disinfected medical device. For precision medical devices, the disinfection can be ensured to be complete only after the color of the color developing tube reaches the color of the comparison tube on the left; Since the number, precision, and degree of disinfection required for the use scenarios of the medical devices to be disinfected are different, judging by the two standard colors of the comparison tube can more clearly determine whether the disinfection is complete, and reduce the degree of digitization, automation or intelligence required for the indicating device, thereby reducing the cost of use. The device is more practical for use in places with relatively poor medical conditions such as townships.

[0013] In addition, the sliding groove opened inside the door panel frame allows the push-pull plate to slide up and down driven by the pull handle, so that the color of the temperature indicator or the disinfection integrity indicator on the back of the door panel outside the disinfection cabinet changes, thereby judging whether the disinfection is complete.

[0014] In addition, when the disinfection nozzle is connected to the liquid phase disinfection pump, after the disinfectant is sprayed out, the liquid is guided to the inside of the clamping pipe and the connecting pipe through the guide groove, and finally discharged to the outside of the disinfection cabinet through the drain pipe. After the drain pipe is blocked, the disinfection nozzle is connected to the gas phase disinfection pump, and gaseous disinfection can be carried out to ensure the sealing of the interior of the disinfection cabinet, so that both gas and liquid disinfection can be used, and the cost of use is reduced.

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.10 : The present invention proposes an indicator device for testing the disinfection integrity of medical devices, comprising: a disinfection cabinet 1; a front end surface of the disinfection cabinet 1 is rotatably connected to a door panel 101 through a hinge, and mounting brackets 52 are fastened to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet 1 through a bolt assembly; a temperature indicator 3 and a mounting plate 4 are installed on the back of the door panel 101 and the inner side of the disinfection cabinet 1, and a slide groove is provided on the outer frame of the door panel 101, and a push-pull plate 2 is clamped inside the slide groove; a disinfection integrity indicator 6 is arranged on the mounting plate 4; the mounting brackets 52 are arranged in groups of two, and a supporting plate 51 is clamped on each group of mounting brackets 52, and the supporting plate 51 and the mounting bracket 52 form a supporting assembly 5, and a guide sleeve 7 is clamped between the supporting assembly 5 and the disinfection cabinet 1.

[0021] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 6 and attached Fig. 9 As shown, the top surface of the mounting plate 4 is provided with two grooves, one long and one short. The short groove is a contrast placement groove 401, and elastic bandages 402 are placed on the tops of the two grooves respectively. Plug holes are provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 4 and the front and rear sides of the grooves. Screws 403 are inserted into the two ends of the elastic bandage 402 and inside the plug holes. After the screws 403 are placed on the elastic bandage 402 and inserted into the slots, the elastic bandage 402 is fixed, thereby fixing the contrast tube 62 and the color developing tube 61.

[0022] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Fig.10 As shown, the guide sleeve 7 includes a clamping tube 71 and a connecting tube 72. The clamping tube 71 is clamped in the limiting grooves 5201 at both ends of the uppermost supporting plate 51. The bottom of the clamping tube 71 is clamped in the connecting tube 72. Two guide sleeves 7 are provided and are opposite to each other on the left and right. The clamping tube 71 and the connecting tube 72 on the opposite side of the two guide sleeves 7 are respectively provided with guide ports, which are connected to the guide groove 5101. The outer end of the connecting tube 72 is fixedly connected with a drain pipe 7201. The drain pipe 7201 passes through the disinfection cabinet 1 and is connected to the outside. After the disinfectant is sprayed out by the disinfection nozzle, the liquid is guided to the inside of the clamping tube 71 and the connecting tube 72 through the guide groove 5101, and finally discharged to the outside of the disinfection cabinet 1 through the drain pipe 7201. After the drain pipe 7201 is blocked, gaseous disinfection can be carried out to ensure the sealing inside the disinfection cabinet 1, so that both gas and liquid disinfection can be used.

[0023] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 8As shown, two horizontal guide grooves 5101 are opened on the left and right directions of the top surface of the support plate 51, and upper and lower limit grooves 5201 are opened on the left and right sides of the support plate 51 and at the ends of the guide grooves 5101. The guide grooves 5101 can be used to guide the disinfectant in a direction when liquid-containing disinfection is carried out, thereby preventing the medical devices placed on the top surface of the support plate 51 from being soaked in the disinfectant for a long time. Flushing disinfection is more thorough, and when using gaseous disinfection, when sterilizing precision medical devices, the angle can be adjusted during placement, and important positions such as the head of the device can be placed above the guide groove 5101, thereby avoiding contact between the bottom and the support plate 51, ensuring thorough disinfection of precision devices.

[0024] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, a connecting plate 1011 is connected to the frame of the door panel 101 by bolts, and a rectangular slot is opened at the right end of the connecting plate 1011, and the mounting plate 4 is clamped inside the rectangular slot. A disinfection nozzle is installed on the inner wall of the disinfection cabinet 1, and the door panel 101 is made of pressure-resistant and high-temperature resistant transparent materials such as tempered glass. By arranging the connecting plate 1011, the mounting plate 4 has an installation and fixing foundation, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting plate 4 and playing an auxiliary supporting role for the mounting plate 4. The disinfection nozzle can be used to perform disinfection and sterilization by high temperature, high pressure, ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide according to the set disinfection instructions.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the push-pull plate 2 is a rectangular plate and its back side is attached to the front of the door panel 101. A pull handle 201 is fixedly bonded to the front end face of the push-pull plate 2, and the upward movable height of the push-pull plate 2 is greater than the height of the temperature indicator 3. The sliding groove opened inside the frame of the door panel 101 allows the push-pull plate 2 to slide up and down driven by the pull handle 201, thereby changing the color of the temperature indicator 3 or the disinfection integrity indicator 6 on the back of the door panel 101 on the outside of the disinfection cabinet 1.

[0026] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Fig. 9 As shown, a reinforcing plate 301 is provided on the back of the temperature indicating member 3, wedge plates are provided on the left and right sides of the temperature indicating member 3, the reinforcing plate 301 is connected to the wedge plates, a thermometer 302 is installed inside the temperature indicating member 3, and a scale line may be provided on the front end surface of the temperature indicating member 3. During the disinfection process, the temperature is read by passing through the scale line indicated by the liquid level of the thermometer 302 to determine whether the disinfection has completely reached the specified temperature. By utilizing the cooperation of the reinforcing plate 301 and the wedge plate, the temperature indicating member 3 can be protected under high temperature and high pressure sterilization conditions inside the disinfection cabinet 1 to improve the pressure resistance.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in the attached Figure 6 As shown, the disinfection integrity indicator 6 includes a color tube 61 and a comparison tube 62. The color tube 61 is placed in the long groove on the top surface of the mounting plate 4. Two comparison tubes 62 are provided and are placed in the comparison placement groove 401 respectively. The color tube 61 and the comparison tube 62 are fixed in position by an elastic bandage 402. When disinfection is performed inside the disinfection cabinet 1, color display can be performed through the color tube 61. The inside of the right comparison tube 62 is set to the color of the disinfection reaching the set standard, and the inside of the left comparison tube 62 is set to the standard color of complete disinfection. After the disinfection reaches the set standard, the color display inside the color tube 61 reaches the color of the right comparison tube 62. Whether the disinfection has been completed is judged according to the use of the disinfected medical device. For precision medical devices, the complete disinfection can only be ensured after the color of the color tube 61 reaches the color of the left comparison tube 62. Due to the different number, precision, and degree of disinfection required for the use scenario of the disinfected medical devices, it is possible to more clearly judge whether the disinfection is complete based on the two standard colors of the comparison tube 62.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the medical device to be sterilized is placed on the support plate 51. When sterilizing precision medical devices, the angle can be adjusted during placement, and the important position such as the head of the device is placed above the guide groove 5101, so as to avoid the bottom from contacting the support plate 51. The color developing tube 61 is placed inside the long groove on the top surface of the mounting plate 4. Two contrast tubes 62 are provided and are placed inside the contrast placement groove 401 respectively. After the screw 403 is placed on the elastic bandage 402, the screw 403 is inserted into the slot to fix the contrast tube 62 and the color developing tube 61. After closing the door panel 101, the disinfection nozzle is started for disinfection. After the disinfection reaches the set standard, the color displayed inside the color developing tube 61 reaches the color of the comparison tube 62 on the right. Whether the disinfection has been completed is judged based on the usage of the disinfected medical device. For precision medical devices, the disinfection can only be ensured to be complete after the color of the color developing tube 61 reaches the color of the comparison tube 62 on the left. Due to the different numbers, precision levels, and usage scenarios of the disinfected medical devices, the degree of disinfection required is different. Judging by the two standard colors of the comparison tube 62, it is possible to more clearly judge whether the disinfection is complete.
