[0002] With the development of the times, people are paying more and more attention to the hygiene standards of various medical devices, medical beauty products, and disposable sanitary products. When using these products, they have a need to have a deeper understanding of whether these products have been sterilized and disinfected, as well as information about the sterilization and disinfection process. After these existing products are sterilized with ethylene oxide, the common practice is to affix corresponding disinfection labels or safety tags to the product packaging. Some only have an EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization and disinfection icon, while others will indicate the product's sterilization date, expiration date, and disinfection method. However, this information only uses icons or text to indicate that the product has been sterilized and disinfected, and cannot dynamically and fully reflect the entire product sterilization process. As a result, some unscrupulous merchants will affix such labels to their product packaging even if they have not sterilized or disinfected them. This makes it impossible for users to determine whether the product has actually been sterilized and disinfected, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the product sterilization information and the degree of sterilization.

[0019] In order to more clearly illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments for a clear and complete description. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The present invention is implemented as follows Figures 1 to 3 As shown in, a traceability system for tracing the sterilization process includes an ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark set on the product, a traceability QR code 1 for tracing the product sterilization process and generated based on the sterilization information, and an information system 2 entered by scanning the traceability QR code 1. The ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark and the traceability QR code 1 are set together. The ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark is set at any position around the traceability QR code 1. The ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark is a geometric pattern printed on the product packaging using ethylene oxide sterilization indicator ink. If the ethylene oxide sterilization indicator ink is selected before sterilization, it will be displayed as Rose red, blue after sterilization. Setting the ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark into a geometric pattern makes it easier to identify it. The ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark is a dot-shaped mark, that is, first set a circle, and then spray the ethylene oxide sterilization indicator ink on the circle and the inside of the circle to form a dot-shaped mark. The traceability QR code 1 is generated based on the sterilization information. A traceability QR code 1 has the sterilization information that is uniquely corresponding to it. The ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark and the traceability QR code 1 are set adjacent to each other on the product packaging, such as setting the ethylene oxide sterilization indicator mark on the left of the traceability QR code 1, and then pasting or printing them. On the product packaging; the user scans the traceability QR code 1 through the smart terminal, and enters the information system 2 after scanning. The information system 2 includes an information storage module 20 and an information display module 21; the information storage module 20 stores sterilization information, which includes image information at key nodes in the sterilization process, and the sterilization certificate and sterilization report generated after the sterilization is completed. The image information constitutes a dynamic information, and the sterilization certificate and sterilization report form static text information; the information display module 21 extracts the sterilization information corresponding to the traceability QR code 1 from the information storage module 20 based on the scanned traceability QR code 1 for the user to use The user terminal displays or plays the ethylene oxide sterilization indicator on the product packaging, indicating that the product has been sterilized with ethylene oxide. After the user scans the traceability QR code 1, the information display module 21 provides the sterilization information to the user based on the scanned traceability QR code 1. The user can watch the dynamic image information of the sterilization and disinfection process on the user terminal and obtain the sterilization certificate and sterilization report with text description at the same time, so as to have a more comprehensive and complete understanding of the sterilization and disinfection process of the product, facilitate the user to query the authenticity of the product sterilization information, and avoid misleading the user by falsely pasting the sterilization label without ethylene oxide sterilization.

[0021] The image information includes images of the inspection and inventory of products to be sterilized upon arrival, images of the unloading of products to be sterilized, images of the loading of products to be sterilized into cabinets, images of the layout of EPCDs, images of product sterilization in progress, images of product unloading after sterilization, images of EPCD culture, images of product analysis after sterilization, and images of product shipment after sterilization; the images of the inspection and inventory of products to be sterilized upon arrival are images taken when the products to be sterilized are counted on the truck after they are transported from the production enterprise to the sterilization enterprise; the images of the unloading of products to be sterilized are images taken when the products to be sterilized are unloaded from the truck after the sterilization enterprise has counted the products to be sterilized on the truck; the images of the loading of products to be sterilized are images when the products to be sterilized are placed in the sterilizer of the ethylene oxide sterilizer; the images of the layout of EPCDs are images when the EPCDs are arranged in the sterilizer. EPCDs are external process challenge devices, which are placed The outside of the packaging box of the product to be sterilized is used to monitor the sterilization effect; the image of the product during sterilization is an image of monitoring the inside and outside of the sterilization cabinet while the product to be sterilized is sterilized in the ethylene oxide sterilizer; the image of the product unloading the cabinet after sterilization is completed is an image of the product to be sterilized and the EPCD being taken out of the sterilizer after sterilization in the ethylene oxide sterilizer; the image of EPCD culture is an image of the biological indicator being placed in the EPCD for culture; the image of the product analysis after sterilization is an image of the product being analyzed after sterilization is completed; the image of the product shipment after sterilization is an image of the sterilized product being loaded and shipped out of the sterilization enterprise; this fully reflects the entire sterilization process from the product entering the sterilization enterprise to the product being shipped out of the sterilization enterprise after sterilization is completed. Users can view dynamic image information of the sterilization and disinfection process on the user terminal by scanning the traceability QR code 1. Since the products to be sterilized are not sterilized immediately after entering the sterilization enterprise, nor are they shipped out immediately after sterilization, they will be stored in the warehouse for a period of time. At this time, the image information also includes the storage images of the products in the sterilization enterprise before and after sterilization, that is, the images of the products when they are placed in the warehouse; at the same time, the products to be sterilized will be pretreated during ethylene oxide sterilization. When the pretreatment is carried out in the sterilization cabinet of the ethylene oxide sterilizer, the images of the product during sterilization will include the images during pretreatment, and there is no need to separate the images during pretreatment. Most companies pretreat the products to be sterilized in a separate pretreatment room before placing the products to be sterilized in the sterilization cabinet. At this time, the image information also includes the images of the pretreatment of the products to be sterilized, that is, the images of the products to be sterilized during pretreatment in the pretreatment room.

[0022] Both the sterilization certificate and sterilization report include product information related to the sterilized product. This information includes the manufacturer, product name, model, batch number, quantity, sterilization batch number, sterilization date, release date of the sterilized product after sterilization, and information about the sterilization company that sterilized the product. The sterilization certificate also includes the sterilization certificate number. The sterilization report also includes the sterilization equipment number and sterilization process information. The sterilization certificate and sterilization report provide textual sterilization information. For the same product, the product information in the sterilization certificate and sterilization report is consistent, proving the authenticity of the sterilization information. The sterilization batch number and sterilization date are assigned by the sterilization company during ethylene oxide sterilization. The release date of the sterilized product after sterilization is assigned by the sterilization company. This information also indicates the date the product can be delivered to the customer after sterilization is completed. The sterilization company information can reflect the company that sterilized the product. Sterilization process information includes sterilization steps, sterilization temperature, sterilization humidity, sterilization exposure time, and the number of sterilization washes.

[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown in , the information system 2 further includes an information download module 22 for users to download sterilization information. Users can download the required sterilization information using the information download module 22.

[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 1As shown in , the information system 2 also includes an information acquisition module 23 and an information processing module 24. The information acquisition module 23 collects sterilization information during the sterilization and disinfection process. The image information is captured by the corresponding monitoring camera and uploaded to the information processing module 24. The product information such as the manufacturer information, product name, product model, product production batch number, product quantity, etc. is manually input and uploaded to the information processing module 24; the information processing module 24 processes the collected sterilization information and forms a traceability QR code 1, a sterilization certificate and a sterilization report; the information processing module 24 processes the collected sterilization information according to the product manufacturer, product name, product model, product production batch number, product sterilization batch number, sterilization quantity, etc. The sterilization information is classified and processed based on the principle that the equipment number, sterilization date, sterilization process and sterilization enterprise are consistent, and a corresponding traceability QR code 1 is generated accordingly. That is, for products with the same batch number, model and name produced by the same product manufacturer, sterilized on the same day using the same sterilization process using the same sterilization equipment at the same sterilization enterprise, a traceability QR code 1 is generated accordingly. The same sterilization batch number refers to the batch number of products with the same sterility assurance level sterilized under the same process conditions in the same sterilization container. If any of them are different, another traceability QR code 1 is generated, making the sterilization information traced by the traceability QR code 1 more accurate. The sterilization information in the information storage module 20 is stored in multiple different folders. The sterilization information stored in a folder corresponds to a traceability QR code 1 one-to-one. That is, when the information processing module 24 generates a traceability QR code 1, the sterilization information corresponding to the traceability QR code 1 is summarized in a folder and stored in the information storage module 20, which facilitates the extraction and display of the information display module 21.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made based on the present invention. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, which do not depart from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to fall within the scope of protection claimed herein.
