[0002] In modern medical institutions, the quality of cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes, as invasive diagnostic and treatment devices, directly affects patient safety. Traditional endoscope cleaning and disinfection management mainly relies on manual records and paper-based traceability, which has the following prominent problems: First, the cleaning and disinfection process lacks real-time monitoring, making it difficult to ensure that each step is strictly implemented according to regulations, resulting in potential risks of missed cleaning and disinfection or substandard cleaning and disinfection; second, endoscope scheduling relies on manual experience, often leading to resource conflicts between emergency and routine services, and insufficient or idle endoscopes during peak hours, affecting diagnostic and treatment efficiency; third, the decentralized management of the endoscope's entire life cycle status makes it difficult to trace key information such as maintenance and culture monitoring, easily resulting in overdue repairs or inspections; fourth, the incomplete records linking patients and endoscopes make it difficult to accurately trace infection events.

[0003] Based on the above, this invention proposes an intelligent management system and method for endoscope cleaning and disinfection, which can effectively solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Set up a flexible matching window to allocate endoscopic resources with higher priority to emergency patients within the window period; The real-time monitoring of the endoscope's status throughout the entire process of cleaning, storage, and use includes automatically detecting leaks before cleaning the endoscope. If the leak test fails, a triple block is triggered, and the endoscope is prohibited from entering the clinic for use. Monitor the concentration of disinfectant solution; if it is below standard, trigger an audible and visual alarm and provide periodic reminders for testing. If the endoscope is taken out of the disinfection area before the endoscope is completely cleaned and disinfected, an automatic voice alarm will be triggered.

[0033] By further defining the time-segmented endoscope release plan in step S3, including determining the number and type of endoscopes to be used in each time period of the day based on the predicted endoscope demand, a refined time-segment allocation of endoscope resources is achieved; special endoscopes are given segmented release reminders to achieve intelligent reminders for their daily use, preventing them from being forgotten due to low usage frequency; the endoscope release is scheduled according to a first-in-first-out and cycle balancing strategy, including recording the usage frequency and rest interval of each endoscope, prioritizing the release of endoscopes with low usage frequency and sufficient rest, reducing the difference in usage frequency between endoscopes, reducing the risk of disinfection failure due to endoscope performance degradation, and extending the overall service life of endoscopes through scientific scheduling, ensuring the stability of disinfection quality.

[0034] Furthermore, in another embodiment, in step S4: the automatic planning of the optimal path for endoscope cleaning and disinfection includes obtaining the real-time occupancy status and estimated completion time of each cleaning tank. Match the appropriate cleaning method according to the type of endoscope to be cleaned; Taking into account the number of process stages for hand washing and machine washing, as well as the balanced distribution of equipment load, the optimal cleaning path is generated with the goal of minimizing the overall completion time. Link the implementation status of the path to individual performance and generate an implementation rate report.

[0035] Taking into account the number of process stages for hand washing and machine washing, as well as the balanced distribution of equipment load, the optimal cleaning path is generated with the goal of minimizing the overall completion time, thus achieving global optimization of washing and disinfection resources. The execution of the path is linked to individual performance, generating an execution rate report. Through an incentive-compatible mechanism, washing and disinfection personnel are encouraged to actively follow the optimal path, thereby continuously improving the overall washing and disinfection efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, in another embodiment, in step S5: the precise matching of the patient and the endoscope is triggered by a dual-system triggering mechanism, that is, when the patient arrives at the examination room and the endoscope examination readiness status is confirmed by the disinfection and traceability system, the association between the patient and the endoscope is automatically established. Set up a flexible matching window to allocate endoscopic resources with higher priority to emergency patients within the window period; The real-time monitoring of the endoscope's status throughout the entire process of cleaning, storage, and use includes automatically detecting leaks before cleaning the endoscope. If the leak test fails, a triple block is triggered, and the endoscope is prohibited from entering the clinic for use. Monitor the concentration of disinfectant solution; if it is below standard, trigger an audible and visual alarm and provide periodic reminders for testing. If the endoscope is taken out of the disinfection area before the endoscope is completely cleaned and disinfected, an automatic voice alarm will be triggered. Before using an endoscope in the clinic, the cleaning and disinfection quality traceability status is verified by scanning the endoscope identification code. If it fails to pass the verification, the report image and text collection function is locked. Real-time monitoring of endoscope storage and retrieval records within the storage cabinet, and early warning of storage timeouts; Before the end of the workday, the system automatically checks the number of endoscopes used and the number of endoscopes cleaned and recycled. If the difference exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm is triggered.

[0037] Step S5 further refines the precise matching of patients and endoscopes, including a dual-system triggering mechanism. This mechanism automatically establishes a patient-endoscope association upon the patient's arrival at the examination room and confirmation of the endoscope's readiness status by the disinfection and traceability system, ensuring real-time and accurate matching. A flexible matching window is set, allocating high-priority endoscopes to emergency patients within the window period, ensuring that emergency needs are prioritized within a controllable range. Real-time monitoring of the endoscope's status throughout the disinfection, storage, and use process includes automatic leak detection before endoscope cleaning; if a leak test fails, a triple-blocking mechanism is triggered, prohibiting the endoscope from entering the examination room for use, thus intercepting the process from its inception. Risk monitoring includes: monitoring disinfectant concentration, triggering audible and visual alarms and providing periodic reminders for testing if the concentration is below acceptable, ensuring the disinfectant medium remains effective at all times; automatically triggering a voice alarm if an endoscope is taken out of the disinfection area before disinfection is complete, preventing process interruption; verifying disinfection quality and traceability by scanning the endoscope's identification code before use in the examination room, locking the report image capture function if it fails, preventing use from the terminal; real-time monitoring of endoscope storage and retrieval records in the storage cabinet, providing warnings for storage timeouts to prevent endoscopes from remaining in storage; automatically verifying the number of endoscopes used and the number of disinfected and returned endoscopes before the end of the workday, triggering an alarm if the difference exceeds a preset threshold, ensuring closed-loop management of daily endoscope usage.
