[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only some, rather than all, structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] References to "embodiments" herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a medical device fault information management method provided by the present application, which can be applied to a server. The medical device fault information management method 100 includes:

[0033] S11: Obtain device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by the medical device.

[0034] In this embodiment, an IVD device is used as an example for illustration. It is understood that the fault information management method in this embodiment can also be used to manage fault information of other medical devices.

[0035] Optionally, the environmental parameter information may include at least one of the temperature, pressure and humidity of the environment in which the medical device is located.

[0036] Optionally, the operating status information may include fault information to indicate that the IVD device has a fault when the IVD device has a fault.

[0037] Optionally, the operating status information may include confirmation information, which indicates that the IVD device is operating normally when there is no fault in the IVD device.

[0038] Optionally, the operating status information may further include the current measurement result, and when there is no fault in the IVD device, the operating status information may further only include the current measurement result.

[0039] In some embodiments, the IVD device has communication capabilities and may be equipped with various sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors) to detect environmental parameters. The IVD device can transmit collected data, its own device information, and operational status information to a server. For example, consumables can be equipped with a communication module (e.g., a 4G or 5G module) for wireless transmission.

[0040] In some embodiments, the IVD device can register with a third-party IoT platform (such as China Mobile's IoT platform) upon initial startup. Each time the IVD device is powered on, it transmits device information and environmental parameter information to the third-party IoT platform. During each measurement, the IVD device uploads operating status information (which may include the current measurement value), any existing fault information, and environmental parameter information to the third-party IoT platform; the third-party IoT platform then transmits this information to a server.

[0041] It's understood that any information unique to IVD devices can be used as device information, and the server can use this unique information to identify different devices. For example, device information can include the device ID. The third-party IoT platform then pushes the device information to the medical device fault information management server. The medical device fault information management server saves the device information to a database and updates it in real time to the device information display page, which users can view through their browsers.

[0042] S12: If the operating status information includes fault information, determine a target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information and the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data.

[0043] If the operating status information includes fault information, it means that there is a fault in the IVD device.

[0044] It can be understood that information related to the fault information, such as the fault type, has been stored in the server.

[0045] In some embodiments, the fault type corresponding to the fault information can be found by accessing the database in the server. If the fault is caused by abnormal environmental parameters, the type of environmental factor that caused the fault can be determined by the fault type, so that the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type can be determined in the environmental parameter information. For example, if the type of environmental factor that caused the fault is determined to be temperature through the fault type, the target environmental parameter is the ambient temperature value.

[0046] By associating fault information with target environmental parameters to obtain first fault data, relevant environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, or pressure, etc.) that cause medical equipment failure and real-time environmental parameters (i.e., target environmental parameters) can be obtained in a timely manner, so as to facilitate the management of medical equipment fault information and provide a basis for subsequent equipment improvement and use.

[0047] If the operating status information includes fault information, it indicates that the IVD device has a fault, and then S13 is executed. If the operating status information does not include fault information, it indicates that the IVD device has no fault, and the process returns to step S11.

[0048] S13: Prompt according to the first fault data.

[0049] Prompting according to the first fault data may be that the medical device sends the first fault data to the fault contact person via email, text message, etc., so that the contact person is informed of the occurrence of the fault and the target environmental parameters causing the fault.

[0050] When medical equipment malfunctions due to environmental parameters, if staff fail to promptly detect and resolve the problem, adverse measurement results will continue to increase. Such results may affect hospital users' judgment, leading to misdiagnosis and medical accidents. By issuing an alert based on the first fault data, the fault contact person can be notified of the occurrence of the fault in a timely manner and provide a basis for fault diagnosis, thus more smoothly resolving the instrument failure and reducing the occurrence of adverse results.

[0051] In this application, device information, environmental parameter information and operating status information can also be associated and saved.

[0052] The device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by each IVD device during each measurement are associated and saved in a database for users to search and analyze, and provide guidance for the improvement and use of medical equipment.

[0053] Different from the existing technology, the medical device fault information management method 100 of this embodiment obtains the device information, environmental parameter information and operating status information sent by the medical device; if the operating status information includes fault information, the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information is determined in the environmental parameter information, and the fault information and the target environmental parameter are associated to obtain the first fault data; reminders are given based on the first fault data, and the fault information of the medical device can be managed, and the relevant environmental factors and real-time environmental parameters that cause the medical device to fail are obtained. Reminders are given based on the obtained first fault data, which is conducive to fault reminders and provides a basis for fault judgment, and provides guidance for the improvement and use of medical equipment.

[0054] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the hospital department information associated with the medical equipment set up in this application.

[0055] Optionally, the user can also select a piece of equipment information on the equipment information display page, click Modify, and display the hospital department association page where the medical equipment is located, and associate the hospital department information of the medical equipment. Figure 2As shown, the user selects a piece of equipment information with the equipment number M16C05630010, and clicks Modify to display the hospital department association page where the medical equipment is located. The user can enter the medical address and department through an external device such as a keyboard to complete the association setting of the hospital department information of the medical equipment.

[0056] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a specific flow chart of S12 in the first embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided by this application.

[0057] This embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the medical device fault information management method 100. S12: If the operating status information includes fault information, determining a target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associating the fault information with the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data, which may include:

[0058] S121: Determine at least one of a fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code according to the fault code.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fault information is a fault code, such as 2056. The fault type corresponding to the fault code can be obtained by searching in the database in the server.

[0060] S122: Determine the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type in the environmental parameter information.

[0061] S123: Correlate the fault code with the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the server database already stores basic information such as the fault type corresponding to the fault code, such as the fault cause, severity, and corresponding solution. This basic fault information is stored in the server before obtaining information transmitted by the medical device. After obtaining device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information transmitted by the medical device, the server determines whether the operating status information includes fault information (e.g., a fault code). If so, the server then uses the fault information (e.g., a fault code) to determine at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code.

[0063] The corresponding relationship between the fault code and other related basic fault information is shown in Table 1:

[0064] Table 1

[0065]

[0066] in:

[0067] The fault types are: 1-fault is related to temperature; 2-fault is related to atmospheric pressure; 3-fault is related to humidity; 0-fault is not related to environmental factors.

[0068] The severity levels are: A-The instrument cannot be used normally; B-The instrument can be used normally, but some measurement structures are incorrect; C-The fault will not affect the instrument measurement.

[0069] The classification and causes of these failures can be derived from the materials and test data used by IVD equipment R&D engineers. For example:

[0070] 1. When selecting materials for IVD equipment, the temperature that XX components can withstand cannot exceed 30°C. If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the components cannot be used normally or will be scrapped. Therefore, the fault classification is: 1 and the fault cause is: The temperature that XX components can withstand cannot exceed 30°C. If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the components cannot be used normally or will be scrapped.

[0071] 2. When testing an IVD device, a test engineer discovered that the device functioned normally within a certain temperature range but failed to function properly beyond that temperature. For example, when the IVD device exceeded 30°C, the Cl (serum chloride) test value would become abnormal. This resulted in a fault type of 1, and the corresponding environmental parameter type for fault type 1 was temperature. For example, if the temperature exceeded 30°C, the Cl test value would become abnormal, indicating that the Cl detection electrode was unstable.

[0072] It can be understood that Table 1 only lists some of the categories for example, and the actual classification may be more detailed and complex.

[0073] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the second embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided in this application.

[0074] This embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the medical device fault information management method 100. Step S13: providing a reminder based on the first fault data, includes:

[0075] S41: Determine at least one of a fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code according to the fault code.

[0076] As shown in Table 1, the server can find out at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code based on the fault code.

[0077] S42: Send at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution, as well as target environment parameters for reminder.

[0078] Steps S11 and S12 have the same or similar technical solutions as those in the above embodiment and are not described in detail here.

[0079] It is understandable that in step S42, the environmental parameter information may also be sent together, and the target environmental parameter therein may be highlighted or displayed separately to alert the user.

[0080] When medical equipment malfunctions due to environmental parameters, if staff fail to promptly detect and resolve the problem, adverse measurement results will continue to increase. Such results may affect hospital users' judgment, leading to misdiagnosis and medical accidents. By sending reminders with at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution, along with the target environmental parameters, this provides a basis for fault diagnosis, allowing for smoother resolution of instrument failures and reducing the occurrence of adverse results.

[0081] Optionally, fault contact information of the medical device may also be associated and set so as to send information for fault reminder.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, the user can view the corresponding page through a browser and add fault contact information on the fault contact page. The fault contact information may include name, phone number, email address, province, choice of whether to issue a fault alarm, choice of whether to send SMS reminders, etc. Among them, the province of the fault contact is consistent with the province of the hospital department associated with the equipment, so that the fault contact can perform equipment maintenance in a timely manner after receiving the fault reminder.

[0083] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the content of the email used to send fault reminders for this application.

[0084] In some embodiments, if the operating status information includes a fault code, it can be determined that the medical device that sent the fault code has a fault. After the server finds out at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code based on the fault code, it can remind the fault contact person by sending an email or text message so that after the fault contact person receives the email, he or she can prepare a solution to the equipment failure in advance based on the content of the email or text message.

[0085] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of the third embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided in this application.

[0086] This embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the medical device fault information management method 100. Step S13: providing a reminder based on the first fault data, includes:

[0087] S61: If the operating status information includes fault information, historical fault data of the medical device is obtained based on the device information and the fault information.

[0088] Because only data with fault information is fault data, the historical fault data of a certain medical device can be obtained by jointly querying the device information and fault information.

[0089] S62: Determine, based on historical fault data, whether the probability of similar faults occurring within a preset time is greater than a preset probability.

[0090] Similar faults refer to faults of the same type, that is, faults caused by the same type of environmental factors.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, the probability of similar faults occurring within a preset time can be analyzed, for example: the total number of operating status information sent by all medical devices is counted as A, the number of faults (i.e., including fault information) in all operating status information is counted as B, and then the number of fault information B1, B2, and B3 under each fault type (each fault type corresponds to a fault caused by the same environmental factor) is calculated respectively. The probability of similar faults occurring within a preset time B1 / A, B2 / A, and B3 / A can be obtained from the analysis of the faults occurring in the operating status information, and then B1 / A, B2 / A, and B3 / A can be compared with the preset probabilities respectively to obtain whether the probability of occurrence within the preset time of the fault type is greater than the preset probability.

[0092] When the judgment result of step S62 is yes, execute step S63; when the judgment result is no, continue to execute step S12, that is, determine the target environmental parameters corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information and the target environmental parameters, and the fault information and the target environmental parameters can be sent for reminder.

[0093] S63: Acquire second fault data when the medical device has a similar fault within a preset time.

[0094] If the probability of a particular fault occurring within a preset time is greater than a preset probability, it indicates that the environment in which the faulty medical device is located may not be suitable for normal operation of the medical device. By obtaining the target environmental parameters when similar faults occur within the preset time, specific data of the environmental parameters that caused the fault can be obtained. The fault information of each occurrence of the same fault is correlated with the target environmental parameters to obtain multiple first fault data, which are then used as the second fault data.

[0095] S64: Send the second fault data for reminder.

[0096] In one specific embodiment, the fault information may be a fault code. Based on the fault code, the server may locate at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution corresponding to the fault code. Providing a reminder based on the fault information and target environmental parameters may include sending at least one of the fault cause, severity, and solution, the target environmental parameters at each occurrence of a fault, and the time of the fault to a contact person for reminder purposes.

[0097] In a specific embodiment, if the medical device being measured has a fault, the historical fault data of the medical device can be queried through the device information (which can be the device number) and the fault information (which can be the fault code). If the probability of the fault occurring within a preset time (such as the last two days) is high (such as a cumulative occurrence of 3 times within two days), the system will query the target environmental parameters where the fault occurred in these two days, and send the second fault data to the corresponding fault contact person. The content of the email can be as follows: Figure 5 After receiving the email, the fault contact can prepare a solution to the equipment failure based on the content of the email. If the equipment frequently experiences this problem, the fault contact can also provide guidance to the user based on the content of the email. For example, if certain faults are frequently caused by excessive temperature, the user can be trained to lower the indoor temperature when using the equipment.

[0098] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flow chart of the fourth embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided in this application.

[0099] This embodiment is based on any embodiment of the medical device fault information management method 100 described above, and the environmental parameter information includes at least one of the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the environment in which the medical device is located.

[0100] Step S11: Obtaining device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by the medical device, including:

[0101] S71: Obtain device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by multiple medical devices respectively.

[0102] In this embodiment, a plurality refers to two or more.

[0103] Step S12: If the operating status information includes fault information, then determine the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information and the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data, including:

[0104] S72: If the operation status information includes fault information, determine the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information and the target environmental parameter to obtain a plurality of first fault data.

[0105] Step S13: Prompting according to the first fault data, including:

[0106] S73: Analyze the probability of each environmental factor causing the failure and the corresponding numerical range of the target environmental parameter based on the plurality of first fault data.

[0107] In a specific embodiment, based on multiple first fault data, the probability of each environmental factor causing a fault is analyzed, for example: the total number of operating status information sent by all medical devices is counted as A, the number B of faults (i.e., including fault information) in all operating status information and the target environmental parameters corresponding to the fault type of the fault information each time a fault occurs are counted, and then the number B1, B2, and B3 of fault information under each fault type (each fault type corresponds to a fault caused by the same environmental factor) are calculated respectively. The probability B1 / A, B2 / A, and B3 / A of each environmental factor causing a fault can be obtained from the analysis of the failure of the operating status information.

[0108] In one specific embodiment, if the probability of failure due to environmental factors is high (exceeding a preset value), R&D personnel can design and develop IVD devices based on these environmental factors. For example, during design, the device's operating environment temperature is considered to be between 10°C and 30°C, so the temperature resistance of the selected materials is generally around 10°C to 30°C. However, during actual use, the device's temperature is not always at the ideal room temperature (the design temperature). After systematic analysis of the IVD device's environmental parameters, it was found that more than 5% of measurements caused component A to malfunction or be damaged due to temperatures exceeding the design temperature. In this case, R&D personnel can refer to this result and select component B with higher temperature resistance to replace component A, thereby reducing the probability of IVD device failure and improving device quality, reducing the waste of IVD consumables, and thus saving costs.

[0109] The corresponding target environmental parameter value range refers to the set of target environmental parameter values ​​corresponding to each failure caused by the same environmental factor. For example, during design, the device's operating environment temperature is considered to be between 10°C and 30°C, so the temperature resistance of the selected device materials is generally around 10°C to 30°C. However, during actual use, the device is exposed to temperatures within the range of 0°C to 8°C or 32°C to 40°C, and failures may occur due to excessively high or low ambient temperatures. Therefore, when the temperature range is between 0°C to 8°C or 32°C to 40°C, failures due to environmental factors will occur.

[0110] S44: Obtain a first environmental parameter value range for normal use of the medical device.

[0111] The first environmental parameter value range for medical devices in normal use refers to the set of target environmental parameter values ​​corresponding to the device when no malfunction occurs due to environmental factors or when no malfunction occurs due to a specific environmental factor. For example, during design, the device's operating environment temperature is considered to be between 10°C and 30°C, so the temperature resistance of the selected materials is generally around 10°C to 30°C. However, during actual use, the device is exposed to temperatures within the range of 8°C to 32°C without malfunctioning due to ambient temperature. Therefore, the normal operating temperature range for medical devices is 8°C to 32°C.

[0112] S45: Send the first environmental parameter value range for reminder.

[0113] In some embodiments, when a server accumulates and receives a large amount of environmental parameter and fault information uploaded by medical devices, because the device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information acquired during each measurement are associated and stored, the server can retrieve the environmental parameter information for normal data (here, data without faults and data with faults not caused by environmental factors) from the database. This allows the server to analyze the reasonable range of environmental factors, namely the first environmental parameter value range, and send it to staff to guide them in training users on usage habits.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart of the fifth embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided by this application.

[0115] This embodiment is based on any embodiment of the above-mentioned medical device fault information management method 100, and the environmental parameter information includes at least one of the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the environment in which the medical device is located, and the geographical location information (including longitude and latitude) of the medical device.

[0116] Step S12: If the operating status information includes fault information, determining a target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associating the fault information with the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data, which may include:

[0117] S124: If the operation status information includes fault information, determine the fault type corresponding to the fault information.

[0118] S125: If the environmental parameter information does not include the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type, the target environmental parameter is obtained through a third-party interface according to the geographical location information, and the fault information and the target environmental parameter are associated to obtain first fault data.

[0119] Steps S11 and S13 have the same or similar technical solutions as those in the above embodiment and are not described in detail here.

[0120] If the environmental parameter information does not contain the target environmental parameters corresponding to the fault type, it means that the IVD device may not be able to upload the environmental parameter information of this measurement due to certain faults (such as temperature sensor failure, etc.). The IVD device fault distribution system will query the environmental parameter information through the China Meteorological Administration or other third-party interfaces based on the province and city where the device is located and save it to the database.

[0121] In one specific embodiment, the medical device fault information management server saves fault information to a database and updates it in real time to a fault distribution page, which users can view through a browser. This page displays all currently faulty IVD devices, with each label representing a hospital. Clicking on a label will pop up an information window. The information window displays the name of the hospital and the numbers (hyperlinks) of all faulty devices in that hospital. The IVD device fault distribution system can use a third-party map plug-in (such as Baidu Maps) when drawing maps. The IVD device fault distribution system only needs to pass the device's geographic location information parameters to the third-party map plug-in. The third-party map plug-in draws the label on the map based on the geographic location information (longitude and latitude). The label represents the location of the IVD device on the map, and the label color varies depending on the severity of the fault (e.g., red represents severe, orange represents relatively severe, and yellow represents normal fault). Different colors can be displayed by simply passing in the color value when transmitting the geographic location information. Click the device number hyperlink in the information window to jump to the device fault information page, which displays the latest fault information of the IVD device and information such as the province, city, hospital, and department of the IVD device. The fault information includes the fault time, cause, solution, severity of the fault, etc. If the fault is caused by environmental factors, the corresponding environmental parameters will also be displayed to guide staff in resolving the fault, and it also provides guidance for the training of hospital users.

[0122] If the environmental parameter information includes the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type, then step S13 is continued.

[0123] See also Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is another flowchart of the fifth embodiment of the medical equipment fault information management method provided by this application.

[0124] This embodiment is based on any embodiment of the above-mentioned medical device fault information management method 100, and the environmental parameter information includes at least one of the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the environment in which the medical device is located, and the geographical location information of the medical device.

[0125] Step S11: Obtaining device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by the medical device, including:

[0126] S91: Obtain device information, environmental parameter information, and operating status information sent by multiple medical devices respectively.

[0127] IVD devices are generally used widely, throughout the country and even the world. Because environmental parameters (temperature, pressure, and humidity) vary significantly across different regions, analyzing the relationship between environmental parameters and failures in different locations can help design IVD devices that can adapt to these environments, improve their quality, and reduce costs. For example, if the humidity in a certain area is high, certain components in the IVD device may have a significantly shortened lifespan or even become unusable. In this case, high-humidity components can be selected for the IVD device in that geographic area, while components used in other areas remain unchanged. This improves the quality of the IVD device and reduces its cost.

[0128] In one specific embodiment, when the IVD device fault distribution system receives a large amount of data, it analyzes the relationship between device fault information and environmental parameters based on region (divided by geographic location), and then feeds the results back to IVD R&D personnel to improve the quality of IVD devices. For example, if the humidity in Province A is consistently within a suitable range, equipment can function normally, while in another province with higher humidity, equipment often malfunctions due to humidity. This allows IVD devices in higher-humidity areas to be selected with materials that are suitable for that region's humidity, or to undergo special treatment, such as adding desiccant.

[0129] Step S12: If the operating status information includes fault information, then determine the target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information and the target environmental parameter to obtain first fault data, including:

[0130] S92: If the operating status information includes fault information, determine a target environmental parameter corresponding to the fault type of the fault information in the environmental parameter information, and associate the fault information with the target environmental parameter to obtain a plurality of first fault data.

[0131] Step S13: Prompting according to the first fault data, including:

[0132] S53: Analyze, based on the plurality of first fault data, the probability of each environmental parameter causing a fault at different geographical locations, and the corresponding numerical range of the target environmental parameter.

[0133] S54: Obtain a second environmental parameter value range for normal use of the medical device in different geographical locations.

[0134] S54: Send the second environmental parameter value range for reminder.

[0135] In some embodiments, when the server accumulates and receives a large amount of data on environmental parameters and fault information uploaded by medical devices, because the device information, environmental parameter information and operating status information obtained during each measurement have been associated and saved, the server can retrieve the environmental parameter information of normal data (here refers to data without faults and data with faults but not caused by environmental factors) in the database; thereby analyzing and obtaining the range of reasonable environmental factors in different geographical locations, that is, the second environmental parameter value range, and sending it to the staff to guide the staff in training users' usage habits.
