Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a cleaning effect monitoring device capable of realizing all-round monitoring, belonging to the technical field of disinfection, sterilization and cleaning of medical devices. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the disinfection and sterilization effect of medical devices, the medical devices must be thoroughly cleaned, so the cleaning effect of the cleaning machine is monitored. In the prior art, the cleaning effect is generally monitored by a monitoring card. When cleaning, the monitoring card is placed in a special fixture, and then the fixture is placed in the cleaning chamber. The fixture is cleaned together with the medical device in the cleaning chamber. The monitoring card is coated with a reagent. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning effect is judged by the changes in the reagent itself. Finally, the monitoring card can be taken out and pasted in a designated location for easy traceability.

[0003] A common problem with monitoring devices in the prior art is that it is difficult for monitoring cards to truly reflect the cleaning effect. The reason is that traditional fixing devices generally adopt planes or three-dimensional structures based on rectangles (such as rectangular columns, square columns), etc. However, during the cleaning process, the water flow in the cleaning chamber flows irregularly. Therefore, the plane or traditional three-dimensional structure fixing devices will only reflect the cleaning status of one or several end faces.

[0004] In addition to the above-mentioned surface or rectangular-based three-dimensional structure fixing device, the prior art also has the following solutions:

[0005] (1) The Chinese utility model patent application numbered 202120827147.3 and entitled “A cleaning effect monitoring card installation device” filed by the applicant of this application on April 21, 2021 discloses a technical solution, in which a flat cylindrical fixing device is disclosed. However, the fixing device is designed to be flat cylindrical in order to facilitate the fixing of the monitoring card. In addition, in this technical solution, two monitoring cards are still used, so the above-mentioned problems also exist.

[0006] (2) The Chinese utility model patent application filed by the applicant of the present application on February 6, 2013, with application number 201320070513.0 and patent name “Cleaning effect monitoring device for spray type cleaning and disinfecting device” discloses a technical solution, in which an “L”-shaped fixing device is recorded. In this technical solution, the cleaning status in two directions is still reflected by two monitoring cards.

[0007] Therefore, designing a technical solution that can reflect the clear status of multiple directions during the cleaning process so as to truly reflect the cleaning effect has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cleaning effect monitoring device in which both the fixing mechanism and the monitoring card are cylindrical, and after being placed in the cleaning machine, they can first be impacted by water flow in all directions in the cleaning machine. And by means of multiple grid areas arranged on the surface of the outer cylinder, the state of mutual squeezing and shielding of medical devices in the cleaning machine can be more realistically simulated, so that the cleaning effect can be more realistically reflected to realize all-round monitoring.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: the cleaning effect monitoring device that realizes all-round monitoring includes a fixing mechanism and a monitoring card placed in the fixing mechanism, and is characterized in that: the fixing mechanism is cylindrical, placement grooves are arranged at intervals in the fixing mechanism, and the monitoring card is placed in the placement groove in a cylindrical shape; a plurality of grid areas are arranged on the surface of the fixing mechanism along its axial direction, and mesh holes connected to the placement grooves are opened in the grid areas.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing mechanism comprises an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder sleeved outside the inner cylinder, the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are spaced to form a placement groove; one end of the fixing mechanism is closed and the other end is open, and the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are coaxially fixed at the closed end.

[0011] Preferably, the grid area is arranged as a closed loop along the circumference of the fixing mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, 2 to 5 grid areas are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the fixing mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, three grid areas are arranged.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the grid area in the axial direction is 1 to 2 cm.

[0015] Preferably, the mesh sizes on the surface of the mesh area are the same or different.

[0016] Preferably, the monitoring card comprises a base layer and a drug layer coated on the surface of the base layer.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom layer includes a plastic layer, the drug layer is coated on the upper surface of the plastic layer, a self-adhesive layer is provided on the lower surface of the plastic layer, and the ground of the self-adhesive layer is a base paper layer; an easy-tear edge is provided at the edge of one side of the bottom layer.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] In the cleaning effect monitoring device that realizes all-round monitoring, the fixing mechanism and the monitoring card are both cylindrical. After being placed in the cleaning machine, they can first be impacted by water flow from all directions in the cleaning machine. And with the help of multiple grid areas set on the surface of the outer cylinder, the state of mutual squeezing and blocking of medical devices in the cleaning machine can be more realistically simulated, so the cleaning effect can be more realistically reflected.

[0020] When surgical instruments are placed in a cleaning machine, they are usually placed in a disorderly manner. Therefore, when all surgical instruments are placed in a staggered manner in the cleaning machine, there will be gaps between the holes. By setting multiple grid areas on the surface of the outer cylinder, especially when the grid sizes on the surface are different, the state of mutual squeezing and blocking of medical instruments in the cleaning machine can be more realistically simulated.

[0021] In the cleaning effect monitoring device that realizes all-round monitoring, the agent layer is entirely coated on the surface of the bottom layer. Compared with the traditional monitoring card, the coating area is larger, so it is more suitable for a cylindrical fixing mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figures 1 to 3 It is the best embodiment of the utility model, and the following Figures 1 to 3 The utility model is further described.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a cleaning effect monitoring device (hereinafter referred to as monitoring device) for achieving all-round monitoring includes a fixing mechanism and a monitoring card 5 placed in the fixing mechanism.

[0028] In the present monitoring device, the fixing mechanism is cylindrical, including an outer cylinder 3 and an inner cylinder 1 sleeved in the outer cylinder 3, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder are coaxially arranged, and an annular placement groove 2 is formed between the outer cylinder 3 and the inner cylinder 1. One end of the fixing mechanism is an open structure, and the other end is a closed structure. The open end of the fixing mechanism is the inlet and outlet of the placement groove 2, and the closed end of the fixing mechanism realizes the fixation between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 3. The fixing mechanism can also be an elliptical cylinder.

[0029] On the surface of the outer cylinder 3, a plurality of grid areas 4 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction thereof, each grid area 4 is arranged along the circumference of the outer cylinder 3 and forms a closed loop. The grids provided in each grid area 4 penetrate the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 3.

[0030] In the monitoring device, 2 to 5, preferably 3, grid areas 4 are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 3, and the width of each grid area 4 in the axial direction is 1 to 2 cm. The grids in the grid area 4 can have holes of the same size or holes of different sizes.

[0031] Combination Figure 2~3 As shown, the monitoring card 5 placed in the fixing mechanism is rectangular and includes a bottom layer 7 and a drug layer 8 coated on the surface of the bottom layer 7. The bottom layer 7 includes a plastic layer 9, the drug layer 8 is coated on the upper surface of the plastic layer 9, and a self-adhesive layer 10 is provided on the lower surface of the plastic layer 9, and the bottom of the self-adhesive layer 10 is a bottom paper layer 11.

[0032] An easy-tear edge 6 is provided at the edge of one side of the bottom layer 7. After tearing off the easy-tear edge 6, the adhesive layer 10 is exposed. Then, after the monitoring card 5 is bent into a ring shape, the adhesive layer 10 exposed at the easy-tear edge 6 is pasted together with the other end of the monitoring card 5, so that the monitoring card 5 is in a closed loop structure. Then, the monitoring card 5 is placed in the placement slot 2, and the tension of the monitoring card 5 itself is used to contact the inner cylinder 1 and / or the outer cylinder 3 to achieve a fixing effect.

[0033] The specific working process and working principle are as follows:

[0034] The monitoring card 5 is folded into a cylindrical shape in the above manner and placed in the placement groove 2 between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 3 of the fixing mechanism. The monitoring card 5 can be sent to a predetermined position by a tool (such as tweezers), and then the monitoring device is placed in a cleaning machine and fixed, and then the medical device to be cleaned is placed in the cleaning machine for cleaning.

[0035] When surgical instruments are placed in a cleaning machine, they are usually placed in a disorderly manner. Therefore, when all surgical instruments are placed in an interlaced manner in the cleaning machine, there will be gaps between several holes. Since the fixing mechanism of this application is cylindrical, after being placed in the cleaning machine, it can first be impacted by water flow from all directions in the cleaning machine. And with the help of multiple grid areas 4 set on the surface of the outer cylinder 3, especially when the surface grids are of different sizes, the state of mutual squeezing and blocking of medical instruments in the cleaning machine can be more realistically simulated, so the cleaning effect can be more realistically reflected.

[0036] After the monitoring card 5 is rolled into a tube and placed in a fixing mechanism, the reagent 8 on its surface can also be impacted by water flow in all directions, and Figure 2 It can be seen that on the surface of the monitoring card 5 of the present monitoring device, the drug layer 8 is entirely coated on the surface of the bottom layer 7, and compared with the traditional monitoring card, the coating area is larger, so it is more suitable for a cylindrical fixing mechanism.

[0037] After cleaning, the monitoring device is taken out, and the monitoring card is taken out from the fixing mechanism by tweezers. The cleaning effect is judged by the state of the drug layer 8. After the base paper layer 11 is peeled off, the monitoring card 5 is pasted to the designated position by the adhesive layer 10 for traceability.

[0038] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the utility model without departing from the technical solution of the utility model still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
