Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of syringe manufacturing and recycling technology, specifically to a syringe traceability system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Medical waste refers to waste generated by medical and health institutions during medical treatment, prevention, health care and other related activities that has direct or indirect infectiousness, toxicity and other hazards. Medical and health institutions and centralized medical waste disposal units are required to register the source, type, weight or quantity, handover time, disposal method, final destination and signature of the person in charge of medical waste. The registration data shall be kept for at least 3 years so that it can be traced at any time in case of problems.
[0003] Specifically, regarding the disposable medical syringes in the aforementioned case, these are Class IIA medical devices used in hospitals to administer medications to patients. The manufacturing standard is ISO7886-4. These products are injection molded from medical-grade PP material, undergoing printing of graduations, assembly of various components, individual sterilization packaging, and a series of processing steps including an inner box and outer carton. Finally, they are sent to an ethylene oxide sterilizer for final sterilization, forming sterile packaging. After a period of time, they can be shipped to hospitals for use. While the existing manual registration method can record the disposal method and final destination of disposable syringes, it also has the following drawbacks while addressing the issue of complete medical device registration:
[0004] The existing registration method is cumbersome, and the distance between the use and disposal locations of disposable syringes is large, making it impossible to register and trace medical devices in a timely manner, which in turn affects subsequent recording and traceability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a syringe traceability system and method, which has the advantages of continuous monitoring and recording of the entire production, transportation, use, and disposal of syringes, and solves the problem of not being able to register medical devices in a timely manner.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the aforementioned goal of timely registration of medical devices, this invention provides the following technical solution: a syringe traceability method, comprising the following steps:
[0009] 1) Each syringe in the production workshop is tagged with an RFID tag and coded. The syringe is identified by the coded syringe through the syringe traceability system. The entry and exit status of each syringe is recorded. The syringe traceability system uploads the syringe coding information and the quantity information of the syringes entering and leaving the warehouse to the central server of the regulatory department in real time through the communication module. The central server of the regulatory department stores the coding information of each syringe.
[0010] 2) The transport equipment uses a syringe traceability system to identify each syringe entering the warehouse in real time, and records the number of syringes entering the warehouse. The syringe coding information and the number of syringes entering the warehouse are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information uploaded by the transport equipment with the outbound information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the transport equipment for transportation. During transportation, the transport equipment identifies each syringe in real time and uploads the information to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module.
[0011] 3) When transferring from the transport equipment to the hospital warehouse, each syringe is coded and identified in real time through the syringe traceability system. At the same time, the number of syringes leaving the transport equipment and the number entering the hospital warehouse are recorded. The syringe information and the entry and exit information are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server will compare the uploaded information with the exit information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the hospital warehouse.
[0012] 4) When syringes are issued from the hospital warehouse, the syringe traceability system identifies the code of each syringe, records the issuance information, and uploads the information to the regulatory authority's central server via the communication module.
[0013] 5) The facial recognition module and fingerprint recognition module collect facial and fingerprint information from personnel handling the syringes, respectively, and transmit the information to the central processing module for processing and storage. The central processing module then uploads the processed information to the regulatory authority's central server for secondary storage via the communication module. If the syringes are lost or stolen later, the relevant individuals can be quickly tracked down based on the information comparison.
[0014] 6) When the syringe is used, the patient's information and the syringe's information are read and bound through the identity recognition module. At the same time, the bound information is uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server through the communication module.
[0015] 7) After use, the discarded syringes are transported to the disposal center. The disposal center uses a syringe identification module to identify the code of the discarded syringes and uploads it to the regulatory department's central server through a communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information of the destroyed syringes with the pre-entered information. If the comparison is successful, the corresponding information is cancelled.
[0016] A syringe traceability system includes an inbound detection module, an inbound detection grating module, an alarm module, an RFID channel control module, an outbound detection module, an outbound detection grating module, a diffuse reflection detection module, a facial recognition module, a fingerprint recognition module, an identity recognition module, a central processing module, a communication module, a monitoring module, and a regulatory authority central server.
[0017] Preferably, the RFID channel control module is electrically connected to the inbound detection module, the inbound detection grating module, the alarm module, the outbound detection module, the outbound detection grating module, the communication module, and the diffuse reflection detection module via wires.
[0018] Preferably, the central processing module is electrically connected to the facial recognition module, fingerprint recognition module, identity recognition module, monitoring module, and communication module via wires.
[0019] Preferably, the input terminals of both the inbound detection module and the outbound detection module are electrically connected to detection antennas, and the output terminal of the alarm module is electrically connected to an alarm.
[0020] Preferably, the input terminals of both the inbound and outbound detection grating modules are electrically connected to electronic gratings, and the input terminal of the diffuse reflection detection module is electrically connected to a diffuse reflection sensor.

[0022] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a syringe traceability system and method, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] This syringe traceability system and method continuously monitors and records the production, transportation, use, and disposal of each syringe. The monitoring information is uploaded to a central server of the regulatory authority via a communication module for storage. After a syringe is used, a syringe identification module collects and uploads its information. The central server compares the uploaded information with pre-saved information; if a match is found, the corresponding syringe information is deregistered. A diffuse reflection detection module monitors the storage door throughout the process, while entry and exit light grating modules detect the entry and exit of other objects. Working in conjunction with the monitoring module, each syringe is continuously monitored to prevent loss and allow users to easily view syringe information via mobile devices. This effectively prevents discarded syringes from being reused or used for other purposes. Furthermore, facial recognition and fingerprint recognition modules collect facial, fingerprint, and identity information from personnel handling the syringes, allowing for accountability in case of syringe loss.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] A syringe traceability method, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0031] 1) Each syringe in the production workshop is tagged with an RFID tag and coded. The syringe is identified by the coded syringe through the syringe traceability system. The entry and exit status of each syringe is recorded. The syringe traceability system uploads the syringe coding information and the quantity information of the syringes entering and leaving the warehouse to the central server of the regulatory department in real time through the communication module. The central server of the regulatory department stores the coding information of each syringe.
[0032] 2) The transport equipment uses a syringe traceability system to identify each syringe entering the warehouse in real time, and records the number of syringes entering the warehouse. The syringe coding information and the number of syringes entering the warehouse are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information uploaded by the transport equipment with the outbound information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the transport equipment for transportation. During transportation, the transport equipment identifies each syringe in real time and uploads the information to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module.
[0033] 3) When transferring from the transport equipment to the hospital warehouse, each syringe is coded and identified in real time through the syringe traceability system. At the same time, the number of syringes leaving the transport equipment and the number entering the hospital warehouse are recorded. The syringe information and the entry and exit information are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server will compare the uploaded information with the exit information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the hospital warehouse.
[0034] 4) When syringes are issued from the hospital warehouse, the syringe traceability system identifies the code of each syringe, records the issuance information, and uploads the information to the regulatory authority's central server via the communication module.
[0035] 5) The facial recognition module and fingerprint recognition module collect facial and fingerprint information from personnel handling the syringes, respectively, and transmit the information to the central processing module for processing and storage. The central processing module then uploads the processed information to the regulatory authority's central server for secondary storage via the communication module. If the syringes are lost or stolen later, the relevant individuals can be quickly tracked down based on the information comparison.
[0036] 6) When the syringe is used, the patient's information and the syringe's information are read and bound through the identity recognition module. At the same time, the bound information is uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server through the communication module.
[0037] 7) After use, the discarded syringes are transported to the disposal center. The disposal center uses a syringe identification module to identify the code of the discarded syringes and uploads it to the regulatory department's central server through a communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information of the destroyed syringes with the pre-entered information. If the comparison is successful, the corresponding information is cancelled.
[0038] A syringe traceability system includes an inbound detection module, an inbound detection grating module, an alarm module, an RFID channel control module, an outbound detection module, an outbound detection grating module, a diffuse reflection detection module, a facial recognition module, a fingerprint recognition module, an identity recognition module, a central processing module, a communication module, a monitoring module, and a regulatory authority central server.
[0039] The inbound and outbound detection modules can identify each syringe entering and leaving the warehouse, and upload the syringe's identification information to the RFID channel control module. The inbound and outbound detection grating modules can monitor the entry and exit of each syringe, and upload the collected information to the RFID channel control module. The RFID channel control module integrates the input information and uploads it directly to the regulatory authority's central server for storage via the communication module.
[0040] The RFID channel control module is electrically connected to the inbound detection module, the inbound detection grating module, the alarm module, the outbound detection module, the outbound detection grating module, the communication module, and the diffuse reflection detection module via wires.
[0041] In production workshops, transportation equipment, and hospital warehouses, diffuse reflection detection modules can sense the intensity of light to detect whether the warehouse door is closed. Inbound and outbound detection modules, through detection antennas, can identify each syringe and monitor its quantity. When syringes are stolen or robbed, the inbound and outbound detection modules detect a decrease in the number of syringes and send a control signal to the RFID channel control module. Simultaneously, the RFID channel control module sends a control signal to the alarm module, causing it to sound an alarm. Furthermore, when the doors of production workshops, transportation equipment, and hospital warehouses are closed, the inbound and outbound detection modules detect other objects in these areas and also send a control signal to the RFID channel control module, causing it to sound an alarm, thus preventing syringe theft or loss.
[0042] The central processing module is electrically connected to the facial recognition module, fingerprint recognition module, identity recognition module, monitoring module, and communication module via wires.
[0043] The facial recognition module, fingerprint recognition module, and identity recognition module can collect facial information, fingerprint information, and identity information of relevant personnel who come into contact with the syringes, respectively. The monitoring module can continuously monitor the inside of the warehouse and transportation equipment. In conjunction with the inbound detection grating module and the outbound detection grating module, it can facilitate effective monitoring of the syringes inside the warehouse and transportation equipment.
[0044] The input terminals of both the inbound and outbound detection modules are electrically connected to detection antennas, and the output terminal of the alarm module is electrically connected to an alarm.
[0045] The inbound and outbound inspection modules can detect syringes in the production workshop, transportation equipment, and hospital warehouse through detection antennas. The detection antennas identify the syringes and upload the identification information of each syringe to the RFID channel control module. The RFID channel control module then interacts with the central server of the regulatory department through the communication module to achieve the goal of real-time detection of the number of syringes.
[0046] The input terminals of both the inbound and outbound detection grating modules are electrically connected to gratings, and the input terminal of the diffuse reflection detection module is electrically connected to a diffuse reflection sensor.
[0047] The diffuse reflection sensor can easily detect the intensity of light, and thus determine whether the door is closed. After the door is closed, the electronic grating can easily detect the entry and exit of objects. When an object enters while the door is closed, it can send a corresponding signal to the RFID channel control module, which in turn controls the alarm module to issue an alarm, thereby improving the relative safety of each syringe during storage and transportation.
[0048] The input end of the facial recognition module is electrically connected to a face recognition device, the input end of the fingerprint recognition module is electrically connected to a fingerprint reader, the input end of the identity recognition module is electrically connected to an ID card reader, and the input end of the monitoring module is electrically connected to a camera.
[0049] The facial recognition module can use a facial recognition device with 3D facial recognition technology, which facilitates the collection of facial information from a certain distance from personnel handling the syringe, making it convenient for them to use. The fingerprint recognition module can use a fingerprint reader with capacitive fingerprint recognition technology, which allows for rapid determination of fingerprint information. Capacitive fingerprint recognition technology is powerful, has no special requirements for the operating environment, and is easy for personnel to operate. The identity recognition module can use an ID card reader, which facilitates the reading of information from relevant personnel and patients. By binding the facial information, fingerprint information, and corresponding syringe information of relevant personnel, it is easy to trace and locate them later.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] A syringe traceability method, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0052] 1) Each syringe in the production workshop is tagged with an RFID tag and coded. The syringe is identified by the coded syringe through the syringe traceability system. The entry and exit status of each syringe is recorded. The syringe traceability system uploads the syringe coding information and the quantity information of the syringes entering and leaving the warehouse to the central server of the regulatory department in real time through the communication module. The central server of the regulatory department stores the coding information of each syringe.
[0053] 2) The transport equipment uses a syringe traceability system to identify each syringe entering the warehouse in real time, and records the number of syringes entering the warehouse. The syringe coding information and the number of syringes entering the warehouse are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information uploaded by the transport equipment with the outbound information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the transport equipment for transportation. During transportation, the transport equipment identifies each syringe in real time and uploads the information to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module.
[0054] 3) When transferring from the transport equipment to the hospital warehouse, each syringe is coded and identified in real time through the syringe traceability system. At the same time, the number of syringes leaving the transport equipment and the number entering the hospital warehouse are recorded. The syringe information and the entry and exit information are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server will compare the uploaded information with the exit information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the hospital warehouse.
[0055] 4) When syringes are issued from the hospital warehouse, the syringe traceability system identifies the code of each syringe, records the issuance information, and uploads the information to the regulatory authority's central server via the communication module.
[0056] 5) The facial recognition module and fingerprint recognition module collect facial and fingerprint information from personnel handling the syringes, respectively, and transmit the information to the central processing module for processing and storage. The central processing module then uploads the processed information to the regulatory authority's central server for secondary storage via the communication module. If the syringes are lost or stolen later, the relevant individuals can be quickly tracked down based on the information comparison.
[0057] 6) When the syringe is used, the patient's information and the syringe's information are read and bound through the identity recognition module. At the same time, the bound information is uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server through the communication module.
[0058] 7) After use, the discarded syringes are transported to the disposal center. The disposal center uses a syringe identification module to identify the code of the discarded syringes and uploads it to the regulatory department's central server through a communication module. The regulatory department's central server compares the information of the destroyed syringes with the pre-entered information. If the comparison is successful, the corresponding information is cancelled.
[0059] A syringe traceability system is characterized by comprising an inbound detection module, an inbound detection grating module, an alarm module, an RFID channel control module, an outbound detection module, an outbound detection grating module, a diffuse reflection detection module, a facial recognition module, a fingerprint recognition module, an identity recognition module, a central processing module, a communication module, a monitoring module, and a regulatory authority central server.
[0060] The inbound and outbound detection modules can identify each syringe entering and leaving the warehouse, respectively, and upload the syringe's identification information to the RFID channel control module. The inbound and outbound detection grating modules can monitor the entry and exit of each syringe, and upload the collected information to the RFID channel control module. The RFID channel control module integrates the input information and uploads it directly to the regulatory authority's central server for storage via the communication module. The communication module can use fiber optic communication for direct network communication, or communicate with the Internet via 4G and 5G networks. This allows for data interconnection with the regulatory authority's central server through various communication methods, thereby improving overall communication convenience.
[0061] The RFID channel control module is electrically connected to the inbound detection module, the inbound detection grating module, the alarm module, the outbound detection module, the outbound detection grating module, the communication module, and the diffuse reflection detection module via wires.
[0062] The inbound and outbound detection modules emit electromagnetic waves of corresponding frequencies to receive feedback sources, thereby continuously detecting the number of syringes. Meanwhile, the diffuse reflection detection module, the inbound grating detection module, and the outbound grating detection module can respectively detect the opening and closing of the warehouse door and the presence of foreign objects entering the production workshop, transportation equipment, and hospital warehouse. This facilitates real-time detection of the number of each syringe during production, transportation, and storage, preventing syringes from being lost or stolen.
[0063] The central processing module is electrically connected to the facial recognition module, fingerprint recognition module, identity recognition module, monitoring module, and communication module via wires.
[0064] The facial recognition module, fingerprint recognition module, and identity recognition module can collect facial information, fingerprint information, and identity information of relevant personnel who come into contact with the syringes, respectively. The monitoring module can continuously monitor the inside of the warehouse and transportation equipment. In conjunction with the inbound detection grating module and the outbound detection grating module, it can facilitate effective monitoring of the syringes inside the warehouse and transportation equipment.
[0065] The input terminals of both the inbound and outbound detection modules are electrically connected to detection antennas, and the output terminal of the alarm module is electrically connected to an alarm.
[0066] The inbound and outbound inspection modules can detect syringes in the production workshop, transportation equipment, and hospital warehouse through detection antennas. The antennas identify the syringes and upload their identification information to the RFID channel control module. This module then interacts with the regulatory authority's central server via a communication module to achieve real-time syringe quantity monitoring. Furthermore, to ensure accuracy when syringes are used, an identification module can register the relevant personnel when a certain number of syringes are removed, binding their information to the removed syringes. This binding information is then uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server for storage. The bound information is only deleted after all removed syringes have been destroyed. This facilitates tracing back to the individual in case of lost syringes.
[0067] The input terminals of both the inbound and outbound detection grating modules are electrically connected to electronic gratings, and the input terminal of the diffuse reflection detection module is electrically connected to a diffuse reflection sensor.
[0068] By changing the number of electronic gratings, the monitoring range can be changed, allowing users to adjust the placement of the inbound and outbound detection grating modules according to the number of syringes and the stacking volume. This also allows users to adjust the number of electronic gratings as needed.
[0069] The input end of the facial recognition module is electrically connected to a face recognition device, the input end of the fingerprint recognition module is electrically connected to a fingerprint reader, the input end of the identity recognition module is electrically connected to an ID card reader, and the input end of the monitoring module is electrically connected to a camera.
[0070] The facial recognition module can use an iris scanner with iris recognition technology. The iris scanner can collect the iris information of the person and bind it with the corresponding syringe code information. The fingerprint recognition module can use a fingerprint reader with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition can easily perform 3D scanning of the fingerprints of the person and can penetrate materials such as metal and glass, making it easy to collect the fingerprint information of the person. In this way, when the syringe is lost, it can be directly traced back to the individual, making it easy to trace the syringe.
[0071] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The syringe traceability system allows for continuous monitoring and recording of the production, transportation, use, and disposal of each syringe. Simultaneously, the monitoring information is uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server for storage via a communication module. After a syringe is used, the syringe identification module collects and uploads syringe information. The regulatory authority's central server compares the uploaded information with pre-saved information; upon successful comparison, the corresponding syringe information is deregistered. The diffuse reflection detection module monitors the warehouse door throughout the entire process. The inbound and outbound optical grating modules detect the entry and exit of other objects, working in conjunction with the monitoring module to continuously monitor each syringe, preventing syringe loss and facilitating users' later viewing of syringe information via mobile devices. This effectively prevents discarded syringes from being reused or applied to other purposes. Furthermore, the facial recognition and fingerprint recognition modules collect facial, fingerprint, and identity information from individuals handling the syringes, respectively. If a syringe is lost, the responsible individual can be identified through this information.

The syringe information and the entry and exit information are uploaded to the regulatory department's central server in real time through the communication module. The regulatory department's central server will compare the uploaded information with the exit information uploaded by the production workshop. Only after the comparison is successful can the syringe enter the hospital warehouse. 4) When syringes are issued from the hospital warehouse, the syringe traceability system identifies the code of each syringe, records the issuance information, and uploads the information to the regulatory authority's central server via the communication module. 5) The facial recognition module and fingerprint recognition module collect facial and fingerprint information of personnel who handle the syringes, respectively, and transmit the information to the central processing module for processing and storage. The central processing module uploads the processed information to the regulatory department's central server for secondary storage through the communication module. If the syringe is lost or stolen later, the relevant individuals can be quickly tracked based on the information comparison. 6) When the syringe is used, the patient's information and the syringe's information are read and bound through the identity recognition module. At the same time, the bound information is uploaded to the regulatory authority's central server through the communication module. 7) After use, the discarded syringes are transported to the disposal center. The disposal center uses a syringe identification module to identify the code of the discarded syringe and uploads it to the regulatory authority's central server via a communication module. The regulatory authority's central server compares the information of the destroyed syringes with the pre-entered information. If the comparison is successful, the corresponding information is cancelled.
