Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of intravenous medication preparation center drug delivery, specifically an intravenous medication delivery vehicle with real-time monitoring and tracking functions for drug delivery information. Background Technology
[0002] According to the "Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Intravenous Medication Preparation Centers (Trial)" formulated by the National Health Commission, medicine shelves and carts should be made of smooth, flat materials that do not shed debris or generate dust, have well-sealed seams, be easy to clean and disinfect, and be resistant to corrosion. Furthermore, finished infusion solutions must be transported in a closed system, with traceability and monitoring throughout the process.
[0003] However, traditional medicine delivery vehicles have a relatively simple structure and poor sealing, which can only meet the most basic cleanliness requirements. Furthermore, they do not have dedicated electronic recording devices for the medicine delivery process, so they cannot keep track of real-time transportation information. Once it is necessary to trace the logistics information of medicines, the efficiency is extremely low and errors are easy to occur.
[0004] To address these issues, this invention proposes a drug delivery vehicle that utilizes 5G IoT technology and a drug delivery vehicle as a terminal to achieve real-time monitoring, data collection, and remote management during the drug delivery process, ultimately ensuring safe, efficient, accurate, and traceable drug delivery.
