Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a multifunctional nephrostomy tube device. Background Technology

[0002] Hydronephrosis caused by upper urinary tract obstruction in adults is a common urinary system disease. As the hydronephrosis worsens and the renal pelvis and calyces dilate, patients will experience renal parenchymal atrophy and varying degrees of renal insufficiency. Therefore, maintaining a low-pressure state within the kidneys and monitoring renal pressure are extremely important. In some patients with severe obstruction who are temporarily unable to undergo surgery, a percutaneous nephrostomy tube is placed to quickly relieve acute obstruction and protect renal function. These patients require continued placement of the nephrostomy tube during and after the procedure to maintain patency of the affected urinary tract. Currently, there is no nephrostomy tube for real-time monitoring of renal pressure before the procedure. Intraoperative perfusion pressure is mostly controlled by adjusting the perfusion pump and combining it with the surgeon's experience. The actual pressure changes within the kidney cannot be monitored and precisely controlled in real time. High pressure can lead to renal damage, renal fluid reflux into the blood, and even sepsis, seriously threatening the patient's life. In addition, renal pelvis pressure is a safe and feasible test after upper urinary tract repair surgery. It can assess the recovery after upper urinary tract reconstruction and determine the timing of nephrostomy tube removal (e.g., pressure ≤22cmH2O is the safe threshold and imaging patency, objectively assessing the recovery of drainage function after ureter repair). Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a multifunctional nephrostomy tube device.

[0004] This invention provides a multifunctional nephrostomy tube device, comprising:

[0005] The main body of the nephrostomy tube is provided with a main channel, an irrigation channel and a balloon channel;

[0006] A balloon is fixedly mounted on the outer wall near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body and communicates with one end of the balloon channel;

[0007] Multiple interfaces, including a main interface, a flushing interface, and a balloon interface, wherein the main channel, the flushing channel, and the balloon channel branch at the tail end of the nephrostomy tube body, forming in sequence a main tube for connecting the main channel and the main interface, a flushing tube for connecting the flushing channel and the flushing interface, and a balloon tube for connecting the balloon channel and the balloon interface;

[0008] A pressure sensor is embedded in the front end of the main channel near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body to collect intrarenal pelvic pressure.

[0009] A flow sensor is embedded in the main channel near the tail end of the nephrostomy tube to collect urine flow in the main channel.

[0010] A solenoid valve is embedded in the front end of the flushing channel near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body;

[0013] The main channel solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the main pipe;

[0014] A solenoid valve for the flushing channel is fixedly installed on the flushing pipe;

[0015] The control module is used to determine whether urination through the nephrostomy tube is normal after the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube device is inserted into the kidney, based on the pressure in the renal pelvis collected by the pressure sensor and / or the urine flow in the main channel collected by the flow sensor. If urination through the nephrostomy tube is found to be abnormal, the module further determines the type of abnormality based on the rate of change of pressure in the renal pelvis and / or the urine flow in the main channel, so as to automatically process the abnormality.

[0018] The administration tube has one end connected to the administration port and the other end connected to the flushing tube;

[0019] A drug delivery solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the drug delivery tube;

[0020] Accordingly, the control module is also used to, during the period when the nephrostomy tube is judged to be urinating normally, if it receives a drug administration instruction sent by the management client, control the main channel solenoid valve to close, and at the same time control the drug administration solenoid valve and the solenoid valve to open, so as to inject the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent in the drug syringe or drug injection pump connected to the drug administration interface into the renal pelvis through the flushing channel. After the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent is injected into the renal pelvis, control the drug administration solenoid valve and the solenoid valve to close, and start timing. After the timing reaches the preset time, control the main channel solenoid valve to open, so as to discharge the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent through the main channel.

[0021] Preferably, the control module is specifically used to compare the multiple intrarenal pelvic pressures collected in real time by the pressure sensor within each preset time period with a preset normal intrarenal pelvic pressure range, and at the same time compare the total urine flow in the main channel collected by the flow sensor within each preset time period with a preset urine flow threshold. If the multiple intrarenal pelvic pressures within the current preset time period are all within the normal intrarenal pelvic pressure range, and / or the total urine flow in the main channel within the current preset time period is greater than the preset urine flow threshold, then it is determined that the nephrostomy tube is urinating normally within the current preset time period.

[0023] Preferably, the control module is specifically configured to, when determining that there is abnormal urination through the nephrostomy tube within a current preset time period, determine the abnormality type as partial blockage of the main channel if the rate of pressure change within the nephrostomy tube is greater than a preset first pressure change rate threshold and the total urine flow is less than a preset first urine flow threshold within the current preset time period; determine the abnormality type as complete blockage of the main channel if the rate of pressure change within the nephrostomy tube is greater than a preset second pressure change rate threshold or the total urine flow is zero within the current preset time period; and determine the abnormality type as nephrostomy tube dislodgement if at least a predetermined number of renal pelvic pressures within the nephrostomy tube are less than a preset low-pressure threshold or the urine flow is zero within the current preset time period.

[0024] Preferably, the multifunctional nephrostomy tube device further includes:

[0025] An alarm module, encapsulated in the handle of the nephrostomy tube, includes audible and / or visual alarm elements;

[0026] The display module, encapsulated in the handle of the nephrostomy tube, can display the current intrarenal pelvis pressure and / or urine flow rate in real time, as well as the intrarenal pelvis pressure curve and total urine flow rate of the nephrostomy tube over several recent preset time periods.

[0027] Preferably, the control module is further configured to control the alarm module to sound an alarm when the abnormality type is determined to be partial blockage of the main channel, and simultaneously control the opening of the flushing channel solenoid valve and the solenoid valve within a preset partial blockage flushing time, so as to inject saline solution from the saline syringe or saline injection pump connected to the flushing interface into the main channel for flushing.

[0028] Preferably, the control module is further configured to, when the abnormality type is determined to be a complete blockage of the main channel, control the alarm module to sound an alarm, and simultaneously, within a preset complete blockage flushing time, control the flushing channel solenoid valve and solenoid valve to repeatedly open and close at a set frequency, so as to inject saline from the saline syringe or saline injection pump connected to the flushing interface into the main channel for repeated flushing. After the preset complete blockage flushing time is reached, the module further determines whether the nephrostomy tube urination is abnormal by measuring the rate of change of renal pelvis pressure and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel within a set detection time. If the nephrostomy tube urination is determined to be normal, the alarm module is deactivated, and the channel solenoid valve and solenoid valve are closed. If the nephrostomy tube urination is determined to be continuously abnormal, the above steps are repeated, and the abnormality type of complete blockage of the main channel is reported to the management client.

[0029] Preferably, the control module is further configured to control the alarm module to sound an alarm and report the abnormality of the nephrostomy tube dislodgement to the management client when the abnormality type is determined to be nephrostomy tube dislodgement.

[0030] Preferably, the multifunctional nephrostomy tube device further includes:

[0031] The balloon channel solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the balloon tube;

[0032] Accordingly, the control module is also configured to control the balloon channel solenoid valve to open when a nephrostomy tube removal command is received from the management client, so as to remove the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube device from the kidney.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, after the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube device is inserted into the kidney, the normality of urination through the nephrostomy tube is determined based on the pressure in the renal pelvis collected by the pressure sensor and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel collected by the flow sensor. Furthermore, when abnormal urination is detected, the type of abnormality is further determined based on the rate of change of pressure in the renal pelvis and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel, allowing for automatic processing based on the type of abnormality. By combining urine flow information with renal pelvis pressure, this invention improves the accuracy of judgment, provides a basis for blockage warning, reduces the risk of infection, basically meets the clinical needs for differentiated treatment of different types of abnormalities, improves the efficiency of abnormality treatment, reduces reliance on management personnel, and avoids problems such as renal function damage, renal fluid reflux into the blood, or even sepsis caused by high actual intrarenal pressure.

Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figures 1-3 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a multifunctional nephrostomy tube device, comprising:

[0044] The nephrostomy tube body 1 has a main channel 13, an irrigation channel 15 and a balloon channel 14 inside; wherein, the nephrostomy tube body 1 is mostly made of medical grade silicone or polyurethane material, which has both flexibility and pressure resistance, reducing the stimulation of tissues by long-term indwelling.

[0045] The balloon 3 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body 1 and communicates with one end of the balloon channel; furthermore, the balloon 3 of the nephrostomy tube device is made of an elastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or made of a stretchable or compressible film, and water or gas can be injected into the balloon 3;

[0046] Multiple interfaces, including a main interface 52, a flushing interface 53 and a balloon interface 51, wherein the main channel 13, the flushing channel 15 and the balloon channel 14 branch at the tail end of the nephrostomy tube body 1, forming in sequence a main tube for connecting the main channel and the main interface 52, a flushing tube for connecting the flushing channel and the flushing interface 53 and a balloon tube for connecting the balloon channel and the balloon interface 51.

[0047] A pressure sensor 7 is embedded at the front end of the main channel near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body 1 to collect intrarenal pelvic pressure. Furthermore, after the nephrostomy tube is inserted into the kidney, the pressure sensor 7 measures the intrarenal pelvic pressure in real time and transmits the pressure data to the control module, which then wirelessly transmits it to an external terminal. This pressure sensor can be a miniature MEMS sensor, such as a MEMS piezoresistive sensor, with a surface covered by a biocompatible membrane such as PDMS to avoid irritating the urinary tract mucosa.

[0048] The flow sensor 2 is embedded in the main channel near the tail end of the nephrostomy tube body 1 to collect the urine flow rate in the main channel; in this invention, the flow sensor 2 can be a thermal flow sensor.

[0049] Solenoid valve 6 is embedded in the front end of the flushing channel near the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube body 1. It is a normally closed solenoid valve, used to close the connection with the flushing channel when the pressure sensor collects the pressure in the renal pelvis to ensure the accuracy of the collected values, and to ensure that the drug remains in the renal pelvis when the drug is injected into the renal pelvis. When the control module controls it to be energized, this solenoid valve is in the open state, so that the saline or drug in the flushing channel is injected into the renal pelvis or the main channel.

[0050] The multifunctional nephrostomy tube device also includes:

[0051] The nephrostomy tube handle 8 has its internal space penetrated by the main tube, flushing tube, and balloon tube;

[0052] The main channel solenoid valve 42 is fixedly installed on the main pipe; when the control module controls it to be energized, the valve opens, allowing urine in the main channel to flow into the urine bag connected to the main interface; when the control module controls it to be de-energized, the valve closes.

[0053] The flushing channel solenoid valve 43 is fixedly installed on the flushing pipe; when the control module controls it to be energized, the valve opens; when the control module controls it to be de-energized, the valve closes.

[0054] The control module is used to determine whether urination through the nephrostomy tube is normal after the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube device is inserted into the kidney, based on the pressure in the renal pelvis collected by the pressure sensor 7 and / or the urine flow in the main channel collected by the flow sensor 2. If urination through the nephrostomy tube is found to be abnormal, the module further determines the type of abnormality based on the rate of change of pressure in the renal pelvis and / or the urine flow in the main channel, so as to automatically process the abnormality.

[0055] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is specifically used to compare the multiple intrarenal pelvic pressures collected in real time by the pressure sensor within each preset time period with a preset normal intrarenal pelvic pressure range, and at the same time compare the total urine flow in the main channel collected by the flow sensor within each preset time period with a preset urine flow threshold. If the multiple intrarenal pelvic pressures within the current preset time period are all within the normal intrarenal pelvic pressure range, and / or the total urine flow in the main channel within the current preset time period is greater than the preset urine flow threshold, then it is determined that the nephrostomy tube is urinating normally within the current preset time period.

[0056] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is specifically used to determine that the nephrostomy tube is urinating abnormally during the current preset time period if at least one of the multiple intrarenal pelvic pressures within the current preset time period is not within the normal intrarenal pelvic pressure range, and / or the total urine flow in the main channel within the current preset time period is not greater than a preset urine flow threshold.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is specifically configured to, when determining that there is abnormal urination in the nephrostomy tube during a current preset time period, determine the abnormality type as partial blockage of the main channel if the rate of pressure change in the nephrostomy tube during the current preset time period is greater than a preset first pressure change rate threshold and the total urine flow is less than a preset first urine flow threshold; if the rate of pressure change in the nephrostomy tube during the current preset time period is greater than a preset second pressure change rate threshold, or the total urine flow is zero, determine the abnormality type as complete blockage of the main channel; if at least a predetermined number of renal pelvic pressures in the nephrostomy tube during the current preset time period are less than a preset low-pressure threshold, or the urine flow is zero during the current preset time period, determine the abnormality type as nephrostomy tube dislodgement.

[0058] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the multifunctional nephrostomy tube device further includes:

[0059] An alarm module, encapsulated at point 8 of the nephrostomy tube handle, includes audible and / or visual alarm elements, such as LED indicator lights (red / yellow / green) and / or a buzzer, for local alarm functionality. Specifically, different colored LED indicator lights indicate different abnormality types: red indicates complete blockage of the main channel, yellow indicates partial blockage, and green indicates nephrostomy tube dislodgement. The buzzer distinguishes between different abnormality types using varying volume and frequency.

[0060] The display module, encapsulated at the handle of the nephrostomy tube, can display the current intrarenal pelvis pressure and / or urine flow rate in real time, as well as the intrarenal pelvis pressure curve and total urine flow rate of the nephrostomy tube over several recent preset time periods.

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is further configured to control the alarm module to sound an alarm when the abnormality type is determined to be partial blockage of the main channel, and at the same time, control the opening of the flushing channel solenoid valve 43 and solenoid valve 6 within a preset partial blockage flushing time, so as to inject the saline solution in the saline syringe or saline injection pump connected to the flushing interface into the main channel for flushing.

[0062] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is further configured to, when the abnormality type is determined to be a complete blockage of the main channel, control the alarm module to sound an alarm, and simultaneously, within a preset complete blockage flushing time, control the flushing channel solenoid valves 43 and 6 to repeatedly open and close at a set frequency, so as to inject saline from the saline syringe or saline injection pump connected to the flushing interface into the main channel for repeated flushing. After the preset complete blockage flushing time is reached, the nephrostomy tube urination is further judged by the rate of change of renal pelvis pressure and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel within a set detection time. If the nephrostomy tube urination is judged to be normal, the alarm module is deactivated, and the flushing channel solenoid valves 43 and 6 are closed. If the nephrostomy tube urination is judged to be continuously abnormal, the above steps are repeated, and the abnormality type of complete blockage of the main channel is reported to the management client.

[0063] It should be noted that the preset normal renal pelvis pressure range, preset urine flow threshold, preset first pressure change rate threshold, preset first urine flow threshold, preset second pressure change rate threshold, preset quantity, preset low pressure threshold, and current preset time period, etc., in this invention can all be set according to the basic information of different patients, including age, gender, physical condition including various test results, etc., or can be set by medical management personnel.

[0066] Accordingly, the control module is also configured to control the balloon channel solenoid valve 41 to open when a nephrostomy tube removal command is received from the management client, so as to remove the insertion end of the nephrostomy tube device from the kidney.

[0067] Specifically, the control module is also used to control the balloon channel solenoid valve 41 to open so that gas / liquid in the syringe or aspiration pump / liquid pump connected to the balloon interface 51 can be injected into the balloon through the balloon channel. After the balloon expands to fix the nephrostomy tube, the balloon channel solenoid valve 41 is controlled to close. The balloon channel solenoid valve 41 is also controlled to open so that after the gas / liquid is drained by the syringe or aspiration pump / liquid pump, the balloon retracts to remove the nephrostomy tube body 1.

[0068] The control module is also used to control the main channel solenoid valve 42 to close and the flushing channel solenoid valve 43 and solenoid valve to open when a drug injector or drug infusion pump connected to the flushing interface is connected to the drug injector or drug infusion pump connected to the drug injection interface is normal, and to inject the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent in the drug injector or drug infusion pump connected to the drug injection interface into the renal pelvis through the flushing channel after the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent is injected into the renal pelvis. After the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent is injected into the renal pelvis, the control module controls the flushing channel solenoid valve and solenoid valve to close and start timing. After the timing reaches the preset time, the control module controls the main channel solenoid valve 42 to open so that the quantitative drug or quantitative contrast agent is discharged through the main channel.

After the preset complete blockage flushing time is reached, the change rate of renal pelvis pressure and / or urine flow rate in the main channel within a set detection time are used to further determine whether the nephrostomy tube urination is abnormal. If the nephrostomy tube urination is determined to be normal, the alarm module is deactivated, and the channel solenoid valve and the solenoid valve are closed. If the nephrostomy tube urination is determined to be continuously abnormal, the above steps are repeated, and the abnormality type of complete blockage of the main channel is reported to the management client.

[0093] Furthermore, the pressure sensor 7 and flow sensor 2 of the present invention can be sensors that transmit signals via signal lines. In this case, the nephrostomy tube body 1 also has a signal transmission channel that is independent of the main channel, the irrigation channel, and the balloon channel. Signal lines connected to the pressure sensor 7 and flow sensor 2 are laid within this signal transmission channel to transmit the intrarenal pelvic pressure collected by the pressure sensor 7 and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel collected by the flow sensor 2 to the control module via the signal lines. Alternatively, the pressure sensor 7 and flow sensor 2 can be wireless sensors. In this case, it is not necessary to set up a signal transmission channel inside the nephrostomy tube body 1, so that the intrarenal pelvic pressure collected by the pressure sensor 7 and / or the urine flow rate in the main channel collected by the flow sensor 2 can be transmitted to the control module via a wireless transmission module.

[0094] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the control module is further configured to control the alarm module to sound an alarm and report the abnormal type of nephrostomy tube dislodgement to the management client when the abnormal type is determined to be nephrostomy tube dislodgement.

When the pressure reaches this alarm threshold, the device triggers the alarm module, thereby maintaining the pressure within the preset safety threshold range (e.g., a pressure difference ≤ 10 cmH2O is the safety threshold); the CNC platform interacts with smart terminal devices (mobile app, computer, chip) via wired / wireless means, and the battery is located externally for easy replacement.

[0097] Furthermore, the nephrostomy tube device with a Bluetooth pressure sensor has a dual-lumen design: the main lumen is used to drain urine or pus, and the secondary lumen is a balloon dilation lumen + device lumen (fixed catheter) with a battery and a buzzer installed inside. The nephrostomy tube device with a fiber optic pressure sensor has a triple-lumen design, in which the device lumen contains a fiber optic cable, a battery, a buzzer and / or an indicator light, and the buzzer is electrically or Bluetooth connected to the pressure sensor.

[0098] Furthermore, the insertion end 11 of the nephrostomy tube device may or may not be equipped with a fixing device to facilitate external fixation to the skin. The fixing device may use a medical-grade adhesive similar to that used in the chassis to form a tight fit with the skin through gentle adhesion, while reducing skin irritation. The fixing device may be integrated with the main body 1 of the nephrostomy tube or designed separately in the form of buckles, adhesives, etc.

[0099] Preferably, the alarm module is an audible and / or visual alarm element.

[0100] Furthermore, it also includes a power module connected to the control module, alarm module and display module. The power module uses a button battery, and the battery is covered with a protective cover for easy battery replacement.
