Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to an intelligent management system for formalin surgical specimen fixative, and also to an intelligent management method for formalin surgical specimen fixative. Background Art

[0002] Formalin, also known as formalin, is an aqueous solution of formaldehyde. It is colorless and transparent, corrosive, and highly volatile. Because formaldehyde can bind to amino groups in proteins, causing them to coagulate, it is often used clinically as a tissue fixative and preservative for testing. Existing formalin solutions for clinical specimen preservation typically involve placing the specimen in a specimen box / bag, which is then filled with formalin fixative. This method of operation presents challenges: Because the formalin solution emits a strong, irritating odor during pouring, it can cause interference or damage to medical personnel's eyes and other organs. This can lead to errors in handling the solution, such as excessive pouring and spillage, which can pollute the environment. Furthermore, wearing gloves to handle the solution increases the risk of infection in the operating room. Furthermore, the use of this highly hazardous chemical lacks effective oversight and management. Therefore, developing a novel formalin fixative management system and method to overcome these existing challenges is a topic for further research by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The first purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent management system for formalin surgical specimen fixative, which realizes contactless liquid precision output through intelligent voice control, as well as full digital recording and real-time monitoring of the specimen fixative usage process.

[0004] The second object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent management method for formalin surgical specimen fixative based on the above system.

[0005] The present invention discloses an intelligent management system for formalin surgical specimen fixative, which comprises:

[0006] A liquid storage unit, wherein the liquid storage unit is used to store formalin solution;

[0007] a liquid injection unit, the liquid injection unit being conductively connected to the liquid storage module and configured to extract the formalin solution from the liquid storage unit at a uniform speed;

[0008] The industrial control unit includes: a login module, a control module, and a read-write module;

[0009] The login module has identity data pre-stored therein, and is configured to receive login identification information, match the login identification information with the identity data, and generate a pass signal / fail signal based on the matching result;

[0010] The control module is signal-connected to the login module, and is configured to enable receiving operation instructions when a pass signal is read, and disable receiving operation instructions when a fail signal is read; the control module is further configured to control the operation of the injection module according to the operation instructions;

[0011] The read-write module is used to input and temporarily store operation logs; the operation logs include operation time, operator information and specimen information.

[0012] This technical solution employs a system whereby, during the formalin pouring operation, staff first log in through a login module to prevent unauthorized personnel from making inappropriate operations. After successful login, external control commands are input to the control module, which then controls the injection module, drawing formalin from the liquid storage unit at a constant rate and injecting it into the specimen box / bag. After the injection operation is complete, an operation log, including the operation time, operator information, and specimen information, is entered and temporarily stored through the read / write module.

[0013] Preferably, the liquid storage unit comprises a sealed liquid storage tank for storing formalin solution;

[0014] The injection unit includes a peristaltic pump and an infusion tube. The peristaltic pump is respectively connected to the sealed liquid storage tank and the infusion tube.

[0026] By adopting this technical solution: setting up a voice module to convert external voice into login identification information of the login module / output to the operation instructions of the control module, before completing the formalin liquid pouring operation, the staff does not need to wear medical gloves to directly touch the industrial control unit, and can complete the login and control steps through voice input, overcoming the problem of touch-type operation causing contamination to the equipment.

[0027] Preferably, the voice module includes a microphone port;

[0028] The industrial control unit further includes an image acquisition module, which includes a micro camera; the micro camera is configured to be installed near the microphone port; the image acquisition module is signal-connected to the read-write module; the image acquisition module is configured to control the micro camera to capture a facial image file near the microphone port upon receiving a camera instruction, and to bind the facial image file to the operation log storage based on a generation time; the storage module is further configured to read the facial image file through the communicator and store the facial image file;

[0029] The voice module is signal-connected to the image acquisition module; the voice module is also used to convert the external voice into a camera instruction output to the image acquisition module.

[0030] This technical solution allows a worker to perform voice control / voice login by approaching the microphone port. Simultaneously, the image acquisition module is controlled to capture a facial image of the person near the microphone port. The captured facial image file is stored and bound to the operation log based on its generation time. Specifically, the captured facial image file is automatically stored and bound to the subsequent input operation log based on its generation time. This facilitates verification of the actual person performing voice control and voice login using the facial image file.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0052] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-2 :

[0053] A formalin surgical specimen fixative intelligent management system includes a local part and a remote part.

[0054] The local part includes a liquid storage unit, a liquid injection unit, an industrial control unit, and a communicator 500; the remote part includes a cloud unit 600 and an output unit 700. The output unit 700 uses an output device such as a printer, and the output unit 700 is connected to the cloud unit 600 by signal.

[0055] The liquid storage unit adopts a sealed liquid storage tank 100 for realizing closed storage of formalin solution. In practice, a liquid level sensor connected to an external signal can also be provided in the sealed liquid storage tank 100.

[0056] The injection unit includes a peristaltic pump 210 and an infusion tube 220. The peristaltic pump 210 is electrically connected to the sealed liquid storage tank 100 and the infusion tube 220, respectively. When the peristaltic pump 210 is activated, it is configured to uniformly pump the formalin solution in the sealed liquid storage tank 100 into the infusion tube 220. The infusion tube 220 may also be provided with a solenoid valve 221.

[0057] The industrial control unit adopts an industrial computer 400 including an input port, and the industrial control unit integrates a login module 410, a control module 420, a voice module 430, an image acquisition module 440 and a read-write module 450.

[0058] The login module 410 has identity data pre-stored therein. The login module 410 is configured to receive login identification information, match the login identification information with the identity data, and generate a pass signal / fail signal based on the matching result (a pass signal is generated when the login identification information and the identity data match successfully; a fail signal is generated when the login identification information and the identity data fail to match successfully). The control module 420 is signal-connected to the login module 410. The control module 420 is configured to enable reception of operation instructions upon receiving a pass signal and disable reception of operation instructions upon receiving a fail signal. When the control module 420 receives an operation instruction, the control module 420 is further configured to control the operation of the injection module according to the operation instruction (i.e., control the injection module to enter a startup state and the duration of operation after entering the startup state).

[0059] The voice module 430 is respectively connected to the login module 410, the control module 420, and the image acquisition module 440 by signal; the voice module 430 is used to collect external voice and convert the external voice into login identification information output to the login module 410 / output to the operation instruction of the control module 420. The voice module 430 is also used to convert the external voice into a camera instruction output to the image acquisition module 440. The voice module 430 specifically includes a microphone port 810, and the operation instruction is mainly output by the staff near the microphone port 810 when delivering formalin solution. It should be noted that the voice module 430 described in this application is a direct transfer of mature technology in modern Internet of Things technology, which is commonly used in voice control systems such as "Xiao Ai Tongxue", so its specific working principle and working process will not be elaborated in this article.

[0060] The image acquisition module 440 includes a micro camera 820; the micro camera 820 is configured to be installed at a position close to the microphone port 810; the image acquisition module 440 is signal-connected to the read-write module 450; the image acquisition module 440 is used to control the micro camera 820 to capture a facial image file close to the microphone port 810 when receiving a camera instruction, and bind the facial image file to the operation log storage based on the generation time.

[0061] The read / write module 450 is used to input and temporarily store operation logs, which include operation time, operator information, and specimen information. Specifically, it is used for on-site staff to record clinical data on-site after completing specimen preparation.

[0062] The communicator 500 adopts any one of Wi-Fi / 4G / 5G communication modules, and the communicator 500 is respectively connected to the industrial control unit and the cloud unit 600 by signal; the communicator 500 is used to realize signal interaction between the cloud unit 600 and the industrial control unit.

[0063] The cloud unit 600 is implemented using a cloud data management platform with a medical staff access port, which at least includes: a storage module and an index module. The storage module is used to read the operation log through the communicator 500 and store the work log; based on this, the storage pressure of the industrial control unit can be reduced, thereby reducing the equipment cost. At the same time, other data stored in the cloud are interactively integrated to form a more complete system of hospital work logs. The storage module is also used to read the facial image file through the communicator and store the facial image file. In this way, the hospital can trace the on-site personnel who perform the operation through the facial image file in the cloud to avoid the illegal operation of impersonating the identity after the login identification information of a staff member in the form of voice is obtained by others.

[0064] The indexing module is configured to receive indexing instructions input by medical personnel through the access port, access the storage unit, and filter out work logs matching the indexing instructions (e.g., using operation time, operator information, or specimen information as keywords for search and filtering). The output unit 700 is configured to read the indexing unit and generate and output an electronic report based on the indexing unit's filtering results.

[0065] In practice, the process works as follows:

[0066] Step 100: The staff sends login identification information to the login module 410 to obtain operation authority; the login module 410 reads the login identification information, matches the login identification information with the identity information data, and generates a pass signal / fail signal based on the matching result;

[0067] Step 200: The startup module reads the login module 410. When the control module 420 reads a pass signal, the process proceeds to step 300; when the control module 420 reads a fail signal, the process proceeds to step 400.

[0068] Step 300: The control module 420 starts to receive operation instructions, the staff holds the end of the infusion tube and aligns it with the specimen box and enters the operation instructions. The control module 420 controls the operation of the injection module according to the operation instructions; the injection module starts the peristaltic pump 210, which continues to work for a period of time to pump the formalin solution in the sealed liquid storage tank 100 into the specimen box 300.

[0069] Step 400: The control module 420 closes the receiving operation instruction and returns to step 200;

[0070] Step 500: After the specimen preparation is completed, the on-site staff uses the read-write module 450 to input and temporarily store the operation log to record relevant information; the operation log at least includes the operation time, operator information and specimen information.

[0071] Step 600: The on-site staff sends the operation log to the cloud unit 600 based on the communicator 500, and the storage module in the cloud unit 600 stores the cloud unit 600, thereby reducing the storage pressure of the local device.

[0072] Step 700: Send an index instruction to the index module, wherein the index instruction includes an index keyword, and the index keyword includes at least one of the operator information, the operation time, and the specimen information; the index module reads the storage unit and filters out the work logs that match the index keyword.

[0073] Step 800: Send an output instruction to the output unit 700, and the output unit 700 reads the index unit, generates and outputs an electronic report according to the screening result of the index unit.

[0074] The present invention achieves contactless and precise liquid output through an intelligent voice control system, which can solve the problems of liquid overflow, environmental pollution, and occupational exposure of medical personnel that may be caused by traditional pouring methods, and reduce the risk of nosocomial infection in the operating room. At the same time, the system is equipped with an intelligent management module, which can digitally record and monitor the entire process of using the specimen fixative in real time, ensuring that the operation is traceable and the dosage can be verified. The cloud-based data storage system supports long-term preservation and rapid retrieval, realizes the standardized and information-based management of toxic chemicals, and provides a reliable technical guarantee for the safe management of toxic chemicals.

[0075] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
