Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an intelligent cleaning device for medical instruments. Background Art

[0002] The cleaning, disinfection and sterilization process of reusable surgical instruments after the operation is an important part of ensuring the safety of the operation. Through thorough cleaning, the microbial load of the instruments can be reduced, and the disinfection and sterilization levels and methods can be correctly selected to remove or kill pathogenic bacteria on the instruments to achieve harmless treatment. It is related to the life and health of the patient and also determines the quality of the surgical results.

[0003] Existing cleaning and disinfection methods are mainly divided into manual cleaning and mechanical cleaning. Manual cleaning is particularly suitable for surgical instruments with high precision, high manufacturing cost and heavy contamination.

[0004] The manual cleaning steps are flushing, washing, rinsing, and final rinsing. In the rinsing step, the surgical instruments need to be placed in a multi-enzyme solution (mixed with a small amount of multi-enzyme cleaning agent and a certain amount of warm water) and soaked for more than 2 minutes. The water temperature should be controlled at 25-30°C. In the past, due to limited medical conditions, medical staff could only clean in ordinary sinks, and the water temperature and soaking time were controlled only by work experience. With the development of technology, the cleaning pool has gradually been upgraded. For example, the utility model patent with announcement number CN205676993U discloses a new type of hospital cleaning pool, which can effectively ensure the reaction temperature of the enzyme through a built-in electric heater. However, the prior art still has the following technical problems:

[0005] After soaking, several washing methods such as scrubbing, wiping, and brushing should be selected according to the type of surgical instrument to wash it under the liquid surface of the multi-enzyme solution; with the increasing heavy medical work, it is difficult for medical staff, especially new staff, to ensure that each type of surgical instrument is cleaned strictly in accordance with the standards, and thus some surgical instruments that do not meet the cleaning requirements will be leaked, which will have an adverse effect on the quality of the surgical results. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides an intelligent cleaning device for medical instruments, which can solve the technical problem that the types of surgical instruments to be cleaned and the washing requirements may not correspond.

[0007] This application provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] An intelligent cleaning device for medical equipment comprises a sink and a support frame for supporting the sink, a faucet is installed on the upper edge of the sink, the sink comprises a flushing tank, a washing tank, a rinsing tank, and a final rinsing tank which are arranged in sequence, an operating table is arranged between the flushing tank and the washing tank, an identification sensor component, a host computer, and a plurality of parallel installed indicator lights are installed on the operating table, a tool placement slot is correspondingly arranged under each indicator light, a timer, a temperature test component, and an alarm are installed on the washing tank, and the host computer is electrically connected to the identification sensor, the indicator light, the temperature test component, the alarm, and the timer, respectively.

[0009] Beneficial effects: When preparing the multi-enzyme solution, open the faucet on the washing tank and fill it with water. The temperature change of the multi-enzyme solution in the washing tank can be visually observed through the temperature testing component, which is helpful for medical staff to control the correct temperature of the multi-enzyme solution; before the formal manual cleaning step, the surgical instruments to be cleaned will be classified and marked according to the structure and material characteristics, and the category will be identified through the identification sensing component before the washing step, and the indicator light corresponding to the category will light up, which is helpful for medical staff to determine the correct washing method and take the corresponding washing tools; this solution can guide medical staff to configure the multi-enzyme solution with appropriate temperature and select the correct washing tools and washing methods by setting the temperature testing component in the washing tank and the identification sensing component on the operating table. At the same time, an alarm and a timer are set. Once the temperature of the multi-enzyme solution and the immersion time of the surgical instrument in the multi-enzyme solution exceed the standard value, an alarm will be issued in time, and the cleaning process will be strictly implemented in accordance with the cleaning standards to ensure that the surgical instruments are cleaned in place, providing a strong guarantee for the patient's safe medical treatment.

[0010] Further, as an improvement, the identification sensing component includes a color mark sensor and a color card.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Surgical instruments will be classified according to their structure and material characteristics and marked by color cards of different colors. They will then be identified by color code sensors. The upper computer will control the indicator lights on the corresponding tool placement slots to flash, which will help ensure that the instruments are properly immersed and that medical staff can use the correct washing tools and perform the correct washing steps.

[0012] Further, as an improvement, the temperature testing assembly includes an electronic display screen arranged on the upper edge of the side wall of the washing tank and a temperature sensor arranged at the bottom of the washing tank, and the temperature sensor and the electronic display screen are electrically connected.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The temperature sensor at the bottom of the washing tank instantly monitors the temperature changes of the multi-enzyme solution in the washing tank and displays it through an electronic display screen, which is helpful for medical staff to configure the multi-enzyme solution with appropriate temperature to ensure the cleaning effect of surgical instruments.

[0014] Furthermore, as an improvement, the host computer uses a PLC.

[0015] Beneficial effects: PLC has the advantages of strong control function and high reliability.

[0016] Further, as an improvement, a high-pressure water gun and a fixing ring are provided on the flushing tank, and the high-pressure water gun can be inserted into the fixing ring.

[0017] Beneficial effect: The purpose of setting the flushing step is to remove obvious dirt (such as blood, dirt, etc.) attached to the surface of surgical instruments. There is a type of surgical instruments with tubular lumens or gap structures, which cannot be effectively removed by flushing with running water alone. Therefore, a high-pressure water gun is hung on the flushing tank for strong flushing.

[0018] Furthermore, as an improvement, the alarm is a buzzer alarm.

[0019] Beneficial effect: Since the indicator light was previously used to guide medical staff to choose appropriate washing tools at the visual level, in order to distinguish them, a buzzer alarm is used here to warn medical staff at the auditory level to timely adjust the water temperature of the multi-enzyme solution or control the immersion time of surgical instruments in the multi-enzyme solution.

[0026] In the actual application process, the manual cleaning steps of using the above-mentioned intelligent cleaning device for medical devices specifically include:

[0027] Step 1: Rinse:

[0028] The surgical instrument is placed in the flushing tank 3 and rinsed under running water to remove obvious dirt (such as blood, dirt, etc.) attached to the surface of the surgical instrument. For surgical instruments with tubular cavities or gap structures, it is necessary to pull out the high-pressure water gun 8 and aim it at the tubular cavities or gaps for high-intensity flushing. After the surgical instrument has undergone this step, the medical staff is required to visually observe that there is no obvious dirt attached to its surface or in the tubular cavity gap.

[0029] Step 2: Washing:

[0030] S1. Preparation before soaking: Pour the multi-enzyme cleaning agent into the washing tank 4 in proportion, then turn on the faucet 2, and the running water heated by the water heater is mixed with the multi-enzyme cleaning agent to form a multi-enzyme solution. The electronic display screen 18 is required to show that the temperature of the multi-enzyme solution should be 30°C.

[0031] S2. Soaking: Soak the instrument in the multi-enzyme solution for 2 minutes. The soaking process is timed with a timer. The user checks the temperature through the electronic display screen 18. At a room temperature of 16-21°C, the temperature generally drops by 1-2°C per minute. After soaking for 2 minutes, the temperature of the multi-enzyme solution should be 26-28°C to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0032] S3, washing: place the color card 12 configured for the surgical instrument at the position of the color code sensor 11. After the color code sensor 11 identifies the type of the surgical instrument, it transmits an electrical signal to the host computer 9 so that the host computer 9 controls the indicator light 10 on the corresponding tool placement slot to light up. The medical staff picks up the corresponding washing tool according to the guidance of the indicator light 10 to wash the surgical instrument.

[0033] The correspondence between washing tools, washing methods, and surgical instrument types is: for instruments with rough surfaces and complex structures, a cleaning brush should be used to scrub them under the surface of the multi-enzyme solution (the purpose of scrubbing under the liquid surface is to prevent the multi-enzyme solution from generating aerosols that may damage the respiratory tract of medical staff); for instruments with smooth surfaces and high moisture resistance, a low-fiber lint cloth should be used to scrub them under the surface of the multi-enzyme solution; for instruments with smooth surfaces and low moisture resistance, a cotton swab containing water should be used to repeatedly wipe them on the surface of the multi-enzyme solution to remove dirt precipitated on the surface.

[0034] Step 3: Rinse:

[0035] Use running water to rinse in order to remove the multi-enzyme cleaning agent components attached to the surface of the instrument.

[0036] Step 4: Final rinse:

[0037] Rinse with purified water to complete the manual cleaning step.

[0038] After the manual cleaning step is completed, the surgical instruments need to go through the steps of mechanical disinfection, drying, and packaging before they can be put into use again.

[0039] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model. The utility model is not limited to the field involved in this implementation case. The common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
