[0052] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 , is a schematic flow chart of a method for optimizing a temperature and pressure curve of a medical high-pressure steam sterilizer provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The process may include at least steps S100-S500:

[0053] S100: Using sensors to obtain bacterial characteristic data and environmental parameters to generate a raw data sequence.

[0054] S200: Perform data cleaning and standardization on the original data sequence to generate a high-quality data set.

[0055] S300: Based on the high-quality data set, a deep learning algorithm is used to train a sterilization process model to generate temperature, pressure, and time optimization curves suitable for different bacterial species.

[0056] S400: Input the optimization curve into a real-time control system to adjust the operating parameters of the high-pressure steam sterilizer.

[0057] S500: Make dynamic adjustments based on equipment operation data during the sterilization process and generate a sterilization effect evaluation report.

[0058] Step S100 at least includes steps S110-S130:

[0059] S110. Obtain the bacterial type and quantity data collected by the internal sensor of the medical device, and collect environmental parameters at the same time to obtain a complete original data sequence.

[0060] First, the system collects data from sensors within the medical device to determine the type, quantity, and growth of bacteria in the environment. This data is measured in real time by high-precision sensors, recording bacterial density, type (e.g., family and genus), and the current bacterial count. Sensor data is fed into the system as a data stream.

[0061] Set the data output by the sensor to D bacteria ={b1,b2,…,b n}, where b i represents the number or density of the i-th bacteria, n represents the number of bacterial species, D bacteria The distribution and quantity characteristics of bacteria in the environment are the core input data for optimizing sterilization parameters. Bacterial species are represented by taxonomic codes, and each type of bacteria has its own unique identifier.

[0062] At the same time, the sensors inside the equipment will also collect environmental parameter data, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. These environmental factors have a greater impact on the sterilization process. Set the environmental data to D env ={T,H,P}, where T represents temperature, H represents humidity, and P represents pressure. The data is collected into the system through a real-time monitoring system and combined with the bacterial data to form a complete raw data sequence. That is:

[0063] D raw ={D bacteria ,D env}={b1,b2,…,b n ,T,H,P};

[0064] All bacterial data and environmental data are integrated into a raw data sequence D raw ,This sequence contains various types of input data, which serves as the basis for subsequent processing.,This data sequence will be passed to the next step of data preprocessing.

[0065] S120: Remove noise and outliers from the raw data, standardize the data, and obtain a high-quality data set suitable for deep learning model training.

[0066] From the original data sequence D raw In the process of noise and outliers detection and elimination, we firstly carry out noise and outliers detection and elimination. In order to improve the data quality, we use appropriate algorithms (such as mean deviation method, Z-score standardization, etc.) to remove outliers that are beyond the normal range. bacteria If some values ​​are significantly higher or lower than the normal range, they are marked as outliers and removed. env ,If the temperature, humidity and pressure values ​​exceed the set threshold range, it will be ,considered as abnormal and will be corrected or eliminated.

[0067] For data X, by calculating its standard deviation σ X and mean μ X , use the Z-score method to filter out outliers:

[0068]

[0069] Set the threshold to Z X >3 or Z X When <-3, the data are considered abnormal.

[0070] After removing outliers, the data is standardized. Standardization is to convert data of different dimensions into a unified standard so that it can be input into the deep learning model. Specifically, for the bacterial count data b i , temperature data T, humidity data H and pressure data P are standardized by subtracting the mean from the data and dividing by the standard deviation:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, μ X is the mean of each data dimension, σ X is the standard deviation, b' i is the standardized bacterial data, and T', H', and P' are the standardized environmental parameter data.

[0073] Through the above processing, we get a high-quality data set after denoising and standardization, denoted as D cleaned ={b'1,b'2,…,b' n,T',H',P'}, this dataset can be used as input data for subsequent deep learning model training.

[0074] S130: Extract key features from the high-quality data and annotate them to obtain a feature dataset for deep learning model training.

[0075] From the standardized high-quality dataset D cleaned In the data set b', the key features that are highly related to the sterilization process are extracted. i , characteristics can be extracted according to the growth patterns of different bacterial species, such as bacterial species type (classification data), changing trends in bacterial numbers, high temperature resistance of bacterial species, etc.; for environmental data T′, H′, P′, characteristics of the impact of temperature and humidity changes on the sterilization process can be extracted.

[0076] Specifically, for temperature and humidity data, the sliding window method is used to calculate its statistical characteristics such as mean, standard deviation and maximum value, and the temperature and humidity change characteristics f are obtained. T ,f H For bacterial data, time series features f can be extracted through changes in bacterial density and species variation. b :

[0077] f T =mean(T′),f H =std(H),f b =trend(b′ i );

[0078] Among them, mean represents the calculated mean, std represents the standard deviation, and trend represents time series trend analysis.

[0079] The extracted feature data is annotated, including the sterilization curves and environmental parameter ranges corresponding to different bacterial species. Based on historical sterilization experimental data and known bacterial sterilization standards, each sample data is labeled, such as the sterilization effect corresponding to different sterilization temperatures, pressures, and times. This annotated data will become an important basis for subsequent deep learning model training.

[0080] After feature extraction and labeling, the feature dataset D for deep learning model training is obtained. features ={f b ,f T ,f H ,f P}, the dataset contains characteristic information of bacterial species, environmental changes, and sterilization effects, and is ready to be passed to the next model training stage.

[0081] Step S200 at least includes steps S210-S230:

[0082] S210. Based on the cleaned and preprocessed data set and the extracted features thereof, a deep learning algorithm is used to train a sterilization process model to obtain a preliminary model of temperature, pressure, and time optimization curves that can adapt to different bacterial species.

[0083] In this step, based on the aforementioned high-quality dataset D cleaned ={b'1,b'2,…,b' n ,T',H',P'}, and the key features D extracted from the data features ={f b ,f T ,f H ,f P}, trained using deep learning algorithms (such as convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory networks). The model aims to generate temperature, pressure, and time optimization curves that can adapt to different bacterial species.

[0084] Specifically, the input data D features This will be input as a training data set into the deep learning model, which will learn the nonlinear relationship between bacterial strain characteristics and environmental parameters to optimize the temperature, pressure and time during the sterilization process.

[0085] Assume that the deep learning model is f model , the input of the model is f model (f b ,f T ,f H ,f P ), the output is the corresponding temperature, pressure and time curve parameters, recorded as T opt ,P opt ,τ opt , representing the optimized temperature, pressure and time curves, respectively.

[0089] S220: Based on the deep learning model obtained by the preliminary training, tuning is performed to optimize its parameters and architecture to obtain an optimized deep learning model.

[0090] Parameter Optimization: After obtaining a preliminarily trained model, further optimization of model parameters is performed. The goal of optimization is to reduce training error and improve the model's ability to generalize to new data. Model performance can be improved by adjusting model hyperparameters such as the learning rate, number of layers, and number of nodes, and by using optimization algorithms such as Adam and RMSprop.

[0091] Assume that the optimized model is The key to the optimization process is to optimize the weight and bias parameters w through the back propagation algorithm and gradient descent method. i and b i , to minimize the loss function L(f model ), the loss function is defined as the error measure between the model output and the actual target (i.e., the sterilization effect curve):

[0093] Among them, y i is the target value, x i is the input feature, is the optimized deep learning model, and L is the loss function, which represents the error between the model output and the target.

[0094] Model architecture optimization: Based on the performance of the deep learning model, adjust the model architecture (such as increasing or decreasing the number of network layers, changing the activation function, etc.) to ensure that the model can better adapt to the characteristics of different types of bacteria and environmental changes.

[0095] Furthermore, the optimized architecture was evaluated using a validation dataset to ensure that it could generate sterilization curves more accurately and achieve the predetermined goals.

[0096] Get the optimized deep learning model: After the optimization process, the optimized deep learning model is obtained This model can predict more accurate temperature, pressure and time curves during the sterilization process based on different bacterial species and environmental characteristics.

[0097] S230. Input different bacterial strain data into the optimized model, verify the output effect of the model, and evaluate its performance and reliability under different sterilization conditions.

[0098] Input different strains of bacterial data for model prediction: Input data from different strains into the optimized deep learning model The input data includes the characteristic data of different strains f b ,f T ,f H ,f P Based on the characteristics, the model will output different temperature, pressure and time curves, which will be provided to the equipment system as the optimized parameters in the sterilization process.

[0099]

[0100] Verify the model output: Compare the temperature, pressure, and time curves generated by the model with the results of actual sterilization experiments to verify that the output meets expectations. Specifically, compare the differences between the model-predicted curves and experimental data to evaluate the model's adaptability and accuracy for different bacterial species and sterilization conditions.

[0101] Validation was performed using experimental data from different bacterial species to ensure that the model could generate a reasonable sterilization curve for each bacterial species and that the sterilization process could completely kill all bacteria.

[0102] Evaluate model reliability: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the model's reliability, particularly its performance under different sterilization conditions, such as the impact of environmental changes like temperature and pressure on sterilization effectiveness. Through multiple validations, ensure the model's stability and accuracy, and assess its applicability and generalization capabilities.

[0105] Among them, y i is the actual sterilization result, x i is the input feature data, is the optimized model, Error is the prediction error, and N is the number of validation samples.

[0106] Step S300 at least includes steps S310-S330:

[0107] S310: Input characteristic data of different types of bacterial strains according to the optimized deep learning model to obtain temperature, pressure and time curves suitable for the bacterial strains.

[0108] Input characteristic data of different strains: According to the optimized deep learning model Input the characteristic data of different types of bacteria. Specifically, the input data includes the key features f extracted from the previous step b ,f T ,fH ,f P ,in:

[0109] f b Characteristics indicating bacterial species, bacterial numbers, or density;

[0110] f T Represents temperature-related characteristics (such as average temperature, temperature fluctuation, etc.);

[0111] f H Indicates humidity-related features;

[0112] f P Indicates pressure-related characteristics.

[0114] To adapt to the optimized temperature curve of this strain;

[0115] To adapt to the optimized pressure curve of this strain;

[0116] To adapt to the optimized time curve of this strain.

[0117]

[0118] Generate temperature, pressure, and time curves suitable for the bacterial species: Through the output results of the deep learning model, the temperature, pressure, and time optimization curve required for each bacterial species is obtained. The curve will be used in the control system in the subsequent sterilization process to ensure that the sterilization process can be accurately executed and achieve the desired effect.

[0119] S320: Based on the input data, calculate and generate temperature, pressure and time optimization curves suitable for the sterilization process of different bacterial species.

[0120] Calculate based on the input bacterial species characteristic data: Further, the input different bacterial species characteristic data f b ,f T ,f H ,f P Perform in-depth calculations to generate temperature, pressure, and time optimization curves for each strain. The characteristic data of each bacterial species will correspond to a unique sterilization curve. The output obtained through the calculation is the optimized parameters of each bacterial species, specifically:

[0121] An optimized temperature curve generated based on input data;

[0122] An optimized pressure curve generated based on input data;

[0123] is the optimized time curve generated based on the input data.

[0124] Calculate the optimized curve: Use mathematical formulas to calculate the sterilization curve suitable for each bacterial species. This calculation combines the characteristics of the bacterial species with environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity to ensure that the generated sterilization curve can cope with different bacterial species and provide accurate sterilization results. The formula calculation here will use the previously obtained optimized parameters and characteristic data:

[0125]

[0126] The optimization curve will be transmitted to the real-time control system for execution.

[0127] Generate an optimization curve for the sterilization process: The curve obtained by the calculation Integrate it into the operating system of the sterilization process to ensure that the temperature, pressure and time can be adjusted in real time according to the needs of different bacterial species during the sterilization process.

[0128] S330. Fine-tune the generated sterilization curve based on real-time environmental feedback information.

[0129] Obtain real-time environmental feedback information: During the actual sterilization process, obtain real-time environmental feedback information, such as parameters such as temperature, pressure, and humidity inside the equipment. Use sensors to monitor the operating status of the sterilizer in real time and collect real-time data about the sterilization process. The feedback information includes but is not limited to:

[0130] T env The temperature inside the device is measured in real time;

[0131] P env The pressure inside the device is measured in real time;

[0132] H env Real-time measurement of humidity.

[0133] This real-time feedback serves as a dynamic input for fine-tuning previously generated sterilization profiles.

[0134] Fine-tuning the sterilization curve: based on real-time feedback information env ,P env ,Henv , adjust the previously generated sterilization curve. Specifically, if the temperature, pressure or humidity in the device deviates from the preset range, the system will adjust the temperature based on the feedback information pressure and time to ensure that the sterilization process is still carried out in an optimized state.

[0135] For example, if the temperature T measured at a certain moment env If the temperature exceeds the preset value, the system will adjust the temperature curve To compensate for temperature changes.

[0136] Update and generate a new sterilization curve: Ultimately, the system will regenerate and update the sterilization curve based on the real-time adjusted parameters, so that the sterilization process can adapt to real-time environmental changes at every moment, ensuring the consistency and reliability of the sterilization effect. It will be input into the real-time control system of the equipment to ensure the precise execution of the sterilization process.

[0137] Step S400 at least includes steps S410-S430:

[0138] S410 , inputting the temperature, pressure and time curves generated from the S300 module into the real-time control system of the high-pressure steam sterilizer to adjust the equipment operating parameters.

[0139] Input optimization curve to real-time control system: Optimized temperature, pressure and time curve generated by the S300 module The optimized parameters are input into the real-time control system of the high-pressure steam sterilizer.

[0142] Parameter Transfer and Integration: Each point in the optimization curve serves as a dynamic input to the device, ensuring the sterilizer accurately adjusts temperature and pressure at each point in time, synchronized with the sterilization time. Throughout the process, the real-time control system continuously obtains the current target parameters from the curve to control the sterilizer's operation.

[0143] S420. During the sterilization process, monitor the equipment status of the high-pressure steam sterilizer in real time and provide feedback on the equipment operation status.

[0144] Real-time monitoring of equipment status: During the sterilization process, the built-in sensors and monitoring system of the equipment are used to collect the operating status parameters of the sterilizer in real time, including the actual temperature T actual , actual pressure P actual , steam flow F actual Etc. The collected data forms a real-time feedback sequence:

[0145] D feedback ={T actual ,P actual ,F actual}

[0146] Compare the set value with the actual value: the actual parameter D feedback and the target parameter T in the optimization curve set ,P set ,τ set Perform real-time comparisons and calculate deviations to assess the accuracy of equipment operation.

[0147] The deviance is assumed to be calculated as:

[0148] ΔT=T actual -T set ,ΔP=P actual -P set ;

[0149] Where ΔT and ΔP are the deviations in temperature and pressure, respectively.

[0150] Feedback data recording: During real-time monitoring, all feedback data and their corresponding time points are recorded to form a time series for subsequent dynamic adjustment steps. The data will be analyzed in real time and dynamically adjusted by the control system.

[0151] S430: Dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the device according to the real-time feedback data.

[0152] Analyze real-time feedback data: Based on the feedback data collected by S420 module D feedback The deviations ΔT and ΔP from the optimization curve target values ​​are used to analyze the device's operating status. If the deviation exceeds the set threshold, the device's operating parameters need to be adjusted to bring the actual operating status closer to the optimization curve target value.

[0153] Assume the adjustment formula is:

[0154] T adjust =T set -k T ·ΔT,Padjust =P set -k P ΔP

[0155] Among them, k T and k P is the adjustment coefficient for temperature and pressure, T adjust and P adjust are the adjusted temperature and pressure set points, respectively.

[0156] Dynamically adjust equipment parameters: adjust the temperature T adjust and pressure P adjust This data is fed into the real-time control system to update the equipment's operating parameters, ensuring that the equipment follows the optimization curve in real time. The dynamically adjusted parameter sequence is continuously updated over time.

[0157] Feedback closed-loop control: After the adjustment is completed, the operating status parameter D of the equipment is collected again feedback , and repeatedly compares the deviation from the target value of the optimization curve to form a closed-loop control process. This iterative adjustment ensures that the actual operation of the sterilizer always stays close to the optimization curve.
