[0003] Currently, the evaluation of the sterilization effect of aldehyde disinfectants mainly relies on: offline chemical detection, which can only detect the residual concentration of disinfectants and cannot directly reflect the actual sterilization efficiency. Regular biological indicator culture takes a long time (usually 24-72 hours) and the results are lagging, which cannot realize process monitoring. End-point sampling culture method takes a long time and is a destructive detection, which cannot be continuously monitored. The above evaluation methods all have serious lag, which leads to the inability to judge whether the disinfection process is effective in real time, and there is a risk of disinfection failure or over-disinfection. It is impossible to dynamically adjust disinfection parameters such as concentration and time according to the actual microbial load, resulting in waste of resources or incomplete disinfection. In critical application scenarios such as surgical instrument sterilization and biosafety laboratories, it is impossible to provide immediate safety feedback. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a monitoring technology that can reflect the sterilization effect of aldehyde disinfectants in real time, online, and directly. SUMMARY

[0058] The aldehyde disinfectant sterilization effect is monitored and dynamically optimized in high precision and full automation in real time by combining multi-frequency electrochemical signals and a deep learning model.

[0059] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0060] Embodiment 1: This embodiment aims to solve the problem that the traditional method relies on fixed time or periodic sampling culture, resulting in low efficiency, poor accuracy, and inability to respond to environmental changes and microbial load fluctuations when medical institutions such as operating rooms and endoscopy centers use 2% glutaraldehyde disinfectant to soak medical devices such as laparoscopes and arthroscopes. This embodiment provides a real-time monitoring method, and can intelligently adjust disinfection parameters according to the monitoring results to ensure disinfection effect.

[0061] It is applied to a hospital endoscope disinfection workstation. When a used gastroscope is cleaned, it is placed in a disinfection tank containing fresh 2% glutaraldehyde disinfectant. The monitoring system described in this embodiment is started immediately to monitor the disinfectant in real time, and the disinfectant concentration is adjusted or the disinfection time is extended / shortened according to the monitoring results until the preset disinfection effect standard is reached.

[0062] In this embodiment, a PARSTAT4000 electrochemical workstation produced by Gamry Instruments is used as the core excitation and acquisition device. The working electrode is a 3mm diameter platinum black electrode for enhancing electrochemical activity, the reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode SCE with stable potential, and the auxiliary electrode is a platinum wire electrode. The three-electrode system is completely immersed in the disinfectant, the initial volume of the disinfectant is 5L, the initial temperature is 25℃, and the surface of the gastroscope to be disinfected is adjacent.

[0063] The excitation is an alternating signal with a frequency range of 50Hz to 200kHz. To meet the requirement of "frequency scanning density not less than 10 points per decade", the specific frequency points are set as:

[0064] 50Hz, 70Hz, 100Hz, 140Hz, 200Hz, 280Hz, 400Hz, 560Hz, 800Hz, 1.1kHz, 1.6kHz, 2.2kHz, 3.2kHz, 4.5kHz, 6.3kHz, 9kHz, 12.6kHz, 18kHz, 25kHz, 36kHz, 50kHz, 70kHz, 100kHz, 140kHz, 200kHz, a total of 24 frequency points. An alternating voltage of 10mV is applied to each frequency point, and the sampling time is 5 seconds per frequency point.

[0065] In this embodiment, the environmental parameter sensors are temperature sensors, pH sensors, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensors.

[0066] Temperature sensor is PT100 platinum resistance thermometer, accuracy ±0.1℃, measurement range 0-50℃, installed on the wall of the sterilization tank, real-time monitoring of the disinfectant temperature.

[0067] pH sensor is HORIBA B-715 portable pH meter, accuracy ±0.02pH, measurement range 0-14pH, inserted into the disinfectant, monitoring the pH change caused by glutaraldehyde degradation.

[0068] Oxidation-reduction potential ORP sensor is Mettler Toledo InPro 6800i, range-200mV to +1000mV, accuracy ±1mV, inserted into the disinfectant, used to reflect the oxidation-reduction capacity of the disinfectant.

[0069] Organic interferent concentration sensor is an online analyzer based on the principle of TOC total organic carbon, and in this embodiment, Shimadzu TOC-VCSH is specifically selected, with a detection limit of 0.02mg / L, sampling once every 5 minutes, used to monitor organic matter such as residual blood and protein in surgery.

[0070] All sensor data is collected synchronously through NI USB-6363 data acquisition card with a sampling rate of ≥1MHz, and the timestamp accuracy reaches 1ms. A complete EIS scan and environmental parameter collection is completed every 30 seconds to form the time-domain impedance modulus time sequence, phase angle time sequence, and environmental parameter time sequence.

[0071] The preset microbial cell membrane rupture characteristic frequency band is selected as the low frequency band 50Hz-5kHz and the medium frequency band 5kHz-50kHz. The basis is that these two frequency bands are most sensitive to the destruction of cell membrane structure by glutaraldehyde, corresponding to the changes in cell membrane capacitance and membrane resistance.

[0072] For each time-domain impedance modulus sequence obtained by collection, the length is 24 frequency points x 5 seconds / second = 120 data points, or the average value of multiple scans is processed, and db6 wavelet basis function is used for 5-layer wavelet packet decomposition. After decomposition, a total of 32 sub-bands 2^5 are obtained.

[0073] For feature band extraction, the 3rd layer cell membrane initial penetration response, node 3-1: 50Hz-625Hz, the 4th layer membrane protein denaturation feature, node 4-2: 3.1kHz-9.8kHz, and the 5th layer membrane rupture and leakage feature, node 5-2: 15.6kHz-49.2kHz, are extracted. These nodes cover the preset characteristic frequency bands of 100Hz-5kHz and 5kHz-50kHz. The extracted sub-band signals are reconstructed to obtain the characteristic frequency band signals.

[0074] Then the reconstructed characteristic band signal is subjected to fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain a frequency domain signal. Then, an envelope spectrum is calculated, and in this embodiment, a frequency domain envelope spectrum time series is obtained by Hilbert transform or wavelet packet energy spectrum method. The time series reflects the change of energy in the characteristic band over time.

[0075] For three-dimensional feature tensor construction and gated attention mechanism, first, the tensor needs to be aligned. The time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, and environmental parameter time series collected within 30 seconds, each 1 point, and the energy values of the corresponding characteristic frequency bands calculated, assuming 3 frequency bands, 3 points, are aligned along the time axis. The 24-dimensional time-domain impedance modulus time series, 24-dimensional phase angle time series, 4-dimensional environmental parameter time series, and 3-dimensional frequency domain envelope spectrum time series are aligned along the time axis to form a three-dimensional feature tensor with a shape of [time step, 55, 1]. The specific frequency points are set according to logarithmic intervals: 50 Hz, 63 Hz, 79 Hz,... 200 kHz, a total of 40 frequency points. It should be noted that the number of time / frequency points can be adjusted according to the actual processing method. This is an example of the application of this embodiment.

[0076] Then, the feature weights are dynamically allocated and fused to generate a bactericidal efficiency feature vector through the gated attention mechanism: the environmental parameter time series and the bioelectrochemical features, i.e., impedance modulus, phase angle, and envelope spectrum, are dynamically interacted through cross-attention to obtain environment-modulated biological features; multi-scale features are extracted from the 50 Hz-5 kHz low-frequency band, 5 kHz-50 kHz mid-frequency band spectrum, and phase angle differential to obtain a membrane rupture risk score, with a low-frequency band amplitude increase of +0.3 points and a mid-frequency band amplitude decrease of +0.5 points; the environment-modulated biological features and the membrane rupture risk score are generated through a gated residual structure to generate a channel-time two-dimensional weight matrix; the channel-time two-dimensional weight matrix is multiplied element by element with the time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, environmental parameter time series, and frequency domain envelope spectrum time series to obtain weighted features; the time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, environmental parameter time series, and frequency domain envelope spectrum time series are connected through a residual connection with the weighted features to obtain a bactericidal efficiency feature vector.

[0077] A time-frequency joint attention LSTM network is constructed, which includes frequency bands of the frequency domain envelope spectrum time series as nodes, 3 nodes in this embodiment, and the node features are the frequency domain envelope spectrum time series; neighborhood features are aggregated through double-layer graph convolution to obtain a frequency domain enhanced feature matrix; edge weights are calculated based on the spectral similarity between nodes: neighborhood features are aggregated through double-layer graph convolution to obtain a frequency domain enhanced feature matrix; time-domain features are used as query vectors, and frequency domain enhanced features are used as key-value vectors.

[0078] The predefined biological constraint matrix is injected to modify the attention weight, and the edge weight is calculated based on the spectral similarity between nodes: the neighborhood features are aggregated by double-layer graph convolution to obtain a frequency domain enhanced feature matrix; and the time domain features are used as query vectors, and the frequency domain enhanced features are used as key value vectors.

[0079] The predefined biological constraint matrix is injected to modify the attention weight, and the predefined biological constraint matrix weight distribution is specifically: the weight of the 100 Hz-50 kHz cell membrane rupture characteristic frequency band is 0.7, the weight of the 1-10 MHz ion channel disturbance frequency band is 0.2, and the weight of other frequency bands is 0.1; then the features output by the joint attention layer are input into the final prediction layer, which includes three fully connected units corresponding to three outputs: a sterilization efficiency prediction value, a range of 0%-100%, an inactivation logarithm prediction value range of 0-6 log CFU / mL, and a microbial load prediction value, unit CFU / mL, on a logarithmic scale. The network output is the three real-time prediction values.

[0080] According to the hospital disinfection specification, such as WS 507-2016 “Disinfection Supply Center Part 2: Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization Technical Operation Specification”, the inactivation logarithm target threshold is set to be ≥3.0 log CFU, and the microbial load safety threshold is set to be ≤100 CFU / mL.

[0081] The inactivation logarithm target threshold is set to be 3, and the microbial load safety threshold is set to be 100. The system generates a regulation instruction based on the deviation of the prediction value from the threshold. When the deviation of the inactivation logarithm prediction value from the target threshold is greater than 0.2, a disinfectant concentration adjustment instruction is generated, and the adjustment range is 0.02. When the deviation of the microbial load prediction value from the safety threshold is greater than 25, a disinfection time adjustment instruction is generated, and the time is extended or shortened by 0.5 minutes. The generated concentration adjustment instruction and time adjustment instruction are packaged into a multi-dimensional disinfection parameter adjustment instruction, which is sent to the control unit of the disinfection workstation.

[0082] In this embodiment, the initial microbial load in a certain disinfection process is about 10^5 CFU / mL.

[0083] Stage 1 (0-5 minutes): The system monitors that the inactivation logarithm prediction value rapidly rises to 2.8 log CFU, and the microbial load prediction value drops to about 125 CFU / mL. Since the inactivation logarithm prediction value of 2.8 is close to the target threshold of 3.0, the deviation ΔL=0.2, which triggers the concentration fine adjustment instruction=0.02%, and the concentration is increased to 2.02%. The microbial load prediction value of 125 exceeds the safety threshold of 100, and the deviation=25, which triggers the time extension instruction=0.5 minutes.

[0084] Phase 2 (5-10 minutes): After the concentration is increased, the inactivation log predictive value quickly reaches 3.1 log CFU, and the microbial load predictive value drops to 80 CFU / mL. At this time, the inactivation log predictive value exceeds the target threshold, and the microbial load predictive value is below the safety threshold. The system using the method of the present application maintains the current concentration and time.

[0085] Phase 3 (10-15 minutes): If the TOC rises due to organic interference, the inactivation log predictive value drops to 2.9 log CFU, and the system will again determine whether further adjustment of the concentration is needed according to AL = 0.1.

[0086] Through real-time monitoring and intelligent control, the parameters can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual sterilization efficiency and microbial load of the disinfectant. Compared with the fixed time disinfection method, the average disinfection time can be shortened, while ensuring that the disinfection effect always meets the standards and reducing the overuse of disinfectants.

[0087] Example 2: This embodiment provides a specific application of a real-time monitoring method for the sterilization effect of aldehyde disinfectants. The implementation process and related technical details of the method are described in detail below.

[0088] First, real-time collection of microbial electrochemical response signals, configured with a multi-frequency excitation three-electrode sensing unit and a multi-channel environmental sensor, a multi-frequency excitation three-electrode system is used to electrochemically stimulate microorganisms in the disinfectant solution, and a multi-channel environmental sensor is used to synchronously collect environmental parameters. The excitation frequency used covers the frequency band of 50 Hz to 200 kHz, and the frequency scanning density is not less than 10 sampling points per decade. Through the excitation signal, the microbial electrochemical response signal in the disinfectant solution is collected in real time, and the following time series data is obtained:

[0089] Time-domain impedance modulus time series: by real-time monitoring of electrochemical impedance, the response of microorganisms to different frequency signals is recorded.

[0090] Phase angle time series: Obtain the phase angle change at each frequency, reflecting the change characteristics of the microbial cell membrane.

[0091] Environmental parameter time series: Synchronously collect environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, redox potential, and organic interferent concentration of the solution.

[0092] For the electrochemical response signal of microorganisms, a wavelet packet-FFT coprocessor is built in, which is configured to perform microbial response feature-oriented frequency domain envelope spectrum analysis. Wavelet packet decomposition is performed to extract the change characteristics of the microbial cell membrane permeability. db6 wavelet basis function is used for 5-layer wavelet packet decomposition, and the feature frequency band signal of the 3rd to 5th layer nodes is extracted, which is divided into two frequency bands, 50Hz-5kHz low frequency band and 5kHz-50kHz medium frequency band. The frequency domain envelope spectrum time series is generated by fast Fourier transform, which specifically includes:

[0093] Microbial response characteristics in low frequency band 50Hz-5kHz and middle frequency band 5kHz-50kHz.

[0094] Performing fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the extracted time-domain signal to generate a frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series, which represents the dynamic changes of the microbial cell membrane.

[0095] Aligning the four time series data along the time axis to form a three-dimensional feature tensor: time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, environmental parameter time series, and frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series, which provides input data for subsequent deep learning models.

[0096] Based on the gating attention weight generation unit and the three-dimensional tensor processor, the above features are weighted and fused using the gating attention mechanism, with the following steps: dynamically interacting the environmental parameter time series and the bioelectrochemical features through cross-attention to obtain the environment-modulated biological features; extracting multi-scale features from the low frequency band, middle frequency band spectrum, and phase angle differential to obtain the membrane rupture risk score and adaptively trigger the warning; generating a channel-time two-dimensional weight matrix through the gating residual structure for the environment-modulated biological features and the membrane rupture risk score; multiplying the channel-time two-dimensional weight matrix with the time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, environmental parameter time series, and frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series element by element to obtain the weighted features; connecting the time-domain impedance modulus time series, phase angle time series, environmental parameter time series, and frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series with the weighted features through the residual connection to obtain the sterilization efficiency feature vector.

[0097] Then construct a graph convolution-time-frequency joint attention LSTM network, which is specifically: taking the frequency band of the frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series as the node, and the node feature as the frequency-domain envelope spectrum time series, constructing a frequency-domain relationship graph, calculating the edge weight based on the spectral similarity between nodes, aggregating the neighborhood features through double-layer graph convolution to obtain the frequency-domain enhanced feature matrix, taking the time-domain feature as the query vector, the frequency-domain enhanced feature as the key-value vector, injecting a predefined biological constraint matrix to modify the attention weight, and weighted aggregation to obtain the time-frequency fusion feature of biological prior knowledge, and after bidirectional encoding of the time-frequency fusion feature using bidirectional LSTM, extracting high-level features through the fully connected layer and decoupling, and real-time output including the following three key indicators:

[0098] Sterilization efficiency prediction value: real-time prediction of the overall effect of sterilization in the disinfection process.

[0099] Inactivation log prediction value: represents the inactivation of microorganisms in the disinfection process.

[0100] Microbial load prediction value: reflects the remaining amount of microorganisms in the disinfection process.

[0101] According to the real-time monitoring results, generate corresponding disinfection parameter adjustment instructions, including:

[0102] Inactivation logarithm target threshold, a target value of inactivation logarithm is set to generate disinfectant concentration adjustment instructions.

[0103] Microbial load safety threshold, a safety threshold of microbial load is set to generate disinfection time adjustment instructions.

[0104] After the adjustment instructions are generated, the disinfectant concentration and the disinfection time can be adjusted according to the deviation value to achieve more accurate sterilization effect.

[0105] In the experiment of the embodiment, the concentration of aldehyde disinfectant is 500 ppm, the environmental conditions are temperature 25℃, pH 6.5, and ORP 300 mV. A group of microorganisms are subjected to sterilization treatment. The electrochemical response signal is collected in real time by the system applying the method of the application, and the following time sequence data is obtained:

[0106] Time-domain impedance modulus time sequence: within the frequency range of 50 Hz to 200 kHz, the impedance modulus changes with time.

[0107] Phase angle time sequence: the phase angle reflecting the change of the cell membrane changes with time.

[0108] Environmental parameter time sequence: records the environmental temperature 25℃, the pH 6.5, and the ORP 300 mV, etc.

[0109] After wavelet packet decomposition and Fourier transform, the frequency domain envelope spectrum time sequence is generated, and a three-dimensional feature tensor is further formed. Through the gated attention mechanism and the LSTM network, the sterilization efficiency is predicted in real time to be 92%, the inactivation logarithm is 3.5, and the microbial load is 4.2 log.

[0110] Based on the deviation of 3.5 log between the predicted value of the microbial load and the safety threshold, the system issues a disinfection time adjustment instruction, recommending to extend the disinfection time by 15 minutes. Based on the deviation of 3.0 log between the inactivation logarithm and the target value, the system issues a disinfectant concentration adjustment instruction, recommending to increase the concentration to 600 ppm.

[0111] Finally, the adjusted parameters of the system can effectively improve the disinfection efficiency and realize real-time monitoring and optimal adjustment.
