[0026] The present application proposes a sterile tray with an expiration date reminder function, which is used to promptly remind the operating medical staff to replace the sterile items carried on the sterile tray, and the details are as follows;
[0027] For reference Figure 1 The present application is mainly composed of a sterile tray 1 and a reminder module 2, wherein the reminder module 2 is detachably connected to the sterile tray 1; it is installed when in use and disassembled when not in use, so that it does not affect the subsequent cleaning problem. The reminder module 2 counts the operation time and reminds the operator after the timing time is reached, so that the staff can replace the sterile items on the sterile tray 1 according to the reminder information; thereby reducing the use time of the sterile items on the sterile tray 1 beyond the prescribed four hours, and promptly handling and replacing them within the specified time.
[0028] It should be noted that the shape of the sterile tray 1 is not limited and can be any existing form; its material is the same as that of the existing sterile tray 1.
[0029] For reference Figure 2-3 The reminder module 2 includes a shell 21, a controller 22, a display light 23, a wireless communication module 24 and a button 25; the shell 21 is adsorbed on the sterile tray 1. In order to better install the shell 21 on the sterile tray 1, the shell 21 is made of martensitic stainless steel; and a magnetic suction area 3 that matches the shape of the shell 21 is set on the sterile tray 1. The shell 21 can be directly adsorbed and set on the sterile tray 1 in terms of connection, so as to achieve the effect of easy installation, disassembly and washing; at the same time, in order to further deepen the connection between the sterile tray 1 and the shell 21, a protrusion block 5 is set at the bottom of the shell 21, and an adaptive circular hole 4 is set relative to the protrusion block 5 in the magnetic suction area 3. When the sterile tray 1 is set in the magnetic suction area 3, the protrusion block 5 will also be connected with the circular hole 4, thereby deepening the connection relationship between the two.
[0030] For reference Figure 2-4The controller 22 is arranged in the shell 21, and the button 25 and the display light 23 are arranged on the surface of the shell 21, wherein the display light 23 includes a green light 232 for indicating that the validity period is within and a red light 231 for indicating that the validity period has been exceeded; wherein the green light 232 and the red light 231 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shell 21 and are arranged on the same side as the button 25; by pressing the button 25, the timing of the sterile tray 1 is started, thereby ensuring that the sterile tray is used within the valid four hours; at the same time, after pressing the button 25, the green light 232 in the display light 23 lights up.
[0031] To further explain, first press button 25 and the green light will light up. When the timing is reached, controller 22 controls green light 232 to turn off and red light 231 to start to light up. When red light 231 is on, press button 25 to turn off red light 231 and reset it. When button 25 is turned on again, green light 232 will start to light up first, and after four hours of timing, red light 231 will light up and then stop and reset. Repeat this operation to complete the recycling steps.
[0032] The green light 232 is on during the four hours of use of the sterile tray 1. The controller 22 turns off the green light 232 after four hours. At this time, the red light 231 turns on. The medical staff knows that the usage time has reached four hours based on the lit red light 231 and starts to replace and clean the sterile tray 1.
[0033] Among them, the controller 22 can be used with an existing PLC or MCU model controller, and the choice between the two depends on the specific application requirements and environment; at the same time, both are common control devices, and both are used in this application to manage the lighting control of the red light 231 and the green light 232 through timing.
[0034] It should be noted that the host also includes a wireless transmission module, and the reminder module 2 and the host complete the data transmission process through their respective wireless transmission modules; further, the host also includes a data storage module and a data display module; the data storage module is used to store the received data, and the data storage module can be implemented using existing storage technology; the data display module is used to display data information, and the data display module can be implemented through a display screen.
[0035] Under the condition of completing the setting and use of the host module, the host can use PC or mobile phone technology to complete it. The PC or mobile phone has the conditions of being equipped with a wireless transmission module, a data storage module and a data display module to meet the data transmission between the reminder module 2.
[0036] In actual use, multiple sterile trays 1 will be used at the same time, so multiple sterile trays 1 will also be equipped with a reminder module 2 for use; and data from multiple reminder modules 2 can be received in one host, and the data transmission process is completed through the wireless communication module, and the data of multiple reminder modules 2 are uniformly stored, organized and displayed through one host.
[0037] It is further explained that the wireless communication module 24 realizes the data transmission process by any of the existing Bluetooth, WiFi or 5G.
[0038] In the utility model, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0039] 1. First, place the required sterile items in the sterile tray 1, and set the reminder module 2 on the sterile tray 1;
[0040] 2. Secondly, by turning on the button 25, a start or stop signal is generated and sent to the controller 22 to start a four-hour countdown on the sterile tray 1. At this time, the green light 232 is on;
[0041] 3. Then, the operator observes the use of the sterile tray 1 during the four-hour period. If the sterile items on the sterile tray 1 are found to be contaminated during the timing period, the operator can directly stop the operation of the controller 22 by pressing the close button 25, and then clean and replace the sterile tray 1. However, if no problem occurs during the period, the signal is transmitted to the controller 22 after the timing is over. After processing, the controller 22 turns on the red light 231 to alarm, and turns off the green light 232.
[0042] 4. Finally, the operator processes the sterile tray 1 according to the lighting status of the red light 231, and turns off the button 25 during the processing to stop the operation of the red light 231 and the controller 22; repeat the above operations when it is opened for use again; at the same time, the reminder module 2 is connected to the external host through the wireless communication module, and the data information of multiple reminder modules 2 can be received from the host side, and the host collects these data uniformly and performs further data storage and data display processing.
[0043] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
