[0042] Embodiment
[0043] An embodiment of the present application provides a novel wet pack detection device, as Figures 1 to 9 shown, including: a test strip 1, a tray 2, a condensation structure 3, and a wrapping layer 4;
[0044] The novel wet pack detection device is used to reflect the dry and wet degree inside a medical device pack that has undergone high-temperature steam pressure sterilization together;
[0045] The wrapping layer 4 wraps the tray 2 and the condensation structure 3 to form a first space 41 inside the wrapping layer 4, and the first space 41 is used to simulate the internal environment of the medical device pack.
[0046] The setting of the novel wet pack detection device refers to the actual state of the medical device pack, simulates the wrapping method of the non-woven fabric on the medical device, and uses the wrapping layer 4 to wrap the tray 2 and the condensation structure 3, so that the novel wet pack detection device replicates the environment similar to or the same as the inside of the medical device pack to the greatest extent. In this way, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, after the novel wet pack detection device and the medical device pack undergo high-temperature steam pressure sterilization, the humidity state and temperature state inside are similar. On the one hand, it helps to improve the accuracy of the wet pack detection result, and on the other hand, it makes it feasible to use the humidity detection result of the novel wet pack detection device to replace the wet pack detection of the medical device pack;
[0047] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the wrapping layer 4 of the novel wet pack detection device and the wrapping material of the medical device pack use the same or similar materials, adopt the same wrapping method, and the wet pack detection device needs to be sterilized by high-temperature steam pressure together with the medical device pack;
[0048] The condensation structure 3 is arranged on the tray 2, and a number of condensation grooves 31 are arranged on the condensation structure 3. The test strips 1 are distributed at different positions on the tray 2 and / or the condensation structure 3, and at least some of the test strips 1 are located in the condensation grooves 31 to detect the dry and wet degrees at different positions in the first space 41.
[0049] Understandably, a condensation structure 3 is provided to simulate the wrapped metal medical device, and at the same time, it is also convenient to simulate the effect of steam condensing after contacting the metal medical device. A number of condensation grooves 31 are provided on the condensation structure 3. Each condensation groove 31 has a certain degree of independence. After water vapor condenses, it is often not easy to evaporate or volatilize, which is used to simulate the complex structures of metal instruments. These complex structures of metal instruments are often not easy to detect the dryness and humidity, and due to the structural complexity, it is also relatively easy for condensate water to be hidden or retained inside these structures. Generally speaking, the complex structures of metal instruments are often the parts most likely to have wet packs and need to be detected key points;
[0050] The detection test paper 1 provided for moisture content detection can more intuitively reflect the drying effect of the sterilizer, rather than relying solely on the subjective judgment of the user. Moreover, the detection test papers 1 are distributed at different positions on the tray 2 and the condensation structure 3, which can detect the dryness and humidity at different positions and improve the accuracy of the moisture content detection results;
[0051] Specifically, the setting method of distributing the detection test papers 1 in different areas enhances the error tolerance rate of the detection test papers 1 and reduces the possibility of errors in the wet pack detection results; it can avoid inaccurate detection results caused by problems such as the failure of the detection test papers 1, and can make the detection results presented by the detection test papers 1 mutually confirm and be combined for judgment, which further helps to improve the accuracy of the detection results; it also helps to comprehensively judge the specific dry-wet state and dry-wet degree inside the first space 41.
[0052] At least some of the detection test papers 1 are located in the condensation grooves 31, which solves the difficulty in detecting the moisture content of the complex structure of the metal medical device due to the complexity of the metal medical device structure, and detects the moisture content of the part most likely to retain condensate water. If there is no water vapor in the condensation groove 31, then it is highly probable that there is no water vapor in other areas such as the tray 2 and the top of the condensation structure 3; on the contrary, the absence of water vapor in areas such as the tray 2 does not mean that there is also highly probable no water vapor in the condensation groove 31. Therefore, in the new wet pack detection device, setting the detection test papers 1 in the condensation grooves 31 also helps to further improve the accuracy of the detection results.
[0053] Furthermore, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the condensation groove 31 includes at least two;
[0054] All the condensation grooves 31 are distributed along the length direction or the width direction of the condensation structure 3 to form a condensation groove array 30 of M rows × N columns, where M and N are both positive integers not less than 1.
[0055] Understandably, the formed condensate tank array 30 increases the condensation area of the condensation structure 3, which can improve the condensation efficiency, optimize the condensation effect of the condensation structure 3, and thus facilitate the smooth condensation of steam. The water vapor condensation rate in the condensate tank array 30 is relatively high compared to other areas in the first space 41, which is conducive to the condensation and convergence of water vapor, enhancing the representativeness of the dryness and humidity detection results of the condensate tank 31 of the condensation structure 3. If the drying of the condensate tank 31 area of the condensation structure 3 is completed, it is highly probable that other areas in the first space 41 are also dry.
[0056] The condensate tank array 30 is formed by the condensation structure 3, presenting a more complex structural feature. It further simulates the internal structure of more complex metal medical devices, enhancing the authenticity of the simulation effect and making it consistent with the actual application situation, which helps to further improve the feasibility and reliability of using the detection results of the new wet pack detection device to replace the wet pack detection of medical device packages.
[0057] Furthermore, as Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, one or more through-holes 32 for the passage of condensed water are provided at the bottom of the condensate tank 31, and all the through-holes 32 are distributed along the length direction of the condensate tank 31.
[0058] A number of through-holes 32 are provided at the bottom of the condensate tank 31. On the one hand, it helps the full flow of air, realizes the full contact between the air and the condensation structure 3, and effectively condenses; on the other hand, it helps the full flow of condensed water. The full flow of condensed water helps its full contact with the test paper 1, enabling the test paper 1 to effectively detect water vapor.
[0059] Preferably, the through-holes 32 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the condensate tank 31.
[0060] Furthermore, as Figure 5 shown, the inner diameter of the condensate tank 31 gradually increases on the side away from the through-holes 32 to increase the condensation area.
[0061] The inner diameter of the condensation tank 31 gradually increases along the side away from the through hole 32. On the one hand, it helps to increase the condensation area of the condensation tank 31 while keeping the occupied area at the bottom unchanged, thereby optimizing the condensation effect and improving the condensation efficiency. On the other hand, the larger inner diameter at the open end of the condensation tank 31 also helps the entry of air, optimizes the air flow path, and enables the full flow of air. This in turn also helps the full condensation of steam. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the condensation tank 31 gradually increases along the side away from the through hole 32, making the cross-sectional shape of the condensation tank 31 conical, which guides the flow of the condensed water adhering to the wall of the condensation tank 31. The condensed water can smoothly flow along the wall of the condensation tank 31 to the bottom of the condensation tank 31. By setting the test strip 1 at the bottom of the condensation tank 31, it helps the condensed water to fully contact the test strip 1, further improving the accuracy of the test result.
[0062] Further, as Figure 5 shown in Figure 9 Figure, a support leg 33 is also provided on the side of the condensation structure 3 close to the tray 2.
[0063] The provision of the support leg 33 helps to provide an additional support point and increase the stability of the side of the condensation structure 3 close to the tray 2. The provision of the support leg 33 creates a gap between the condensation tank 31 and the tray 2, which can promote the circulation of air and the flow of condensed water, and can reduce the accumulation of moisture and water vapor between the contact surface of the bottom of the condensation tank 31 and the tray 2. This enables the condensed water to flow smoothly onto the tray 2, which is a further simulation of the actual environment inside the real medical device package, the actual state of the metal medical device, and the positional relationship between the medical device and the tray 2.
[0064] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, the support legs 33 are arranged along the circumference of the bottom of the tray 2 to enable the condensation structure 3 to be stably arranged on the tray 2.
[0065] Further, as Figure 4 shown in Figure 9 Figure, an installation seat 21 for installing the condensation structure 3 and having a shape matching that of the support legs 33 is also provided on the tray 2.
[0066] It can be understood that the matching of the installation seat 21 and the support legs 33 can provide a more stable support structure, enabling the condensation structure 3 to be stably installed on the tray 2, evenly distributing the weight, and preventing the condensation structure 3 from shaking. This enhances the connection stability between the condensation structure 3 and the tray 2, and avoids the positional deviation between the condensation structure 3 and the tray 2 during high-temperature sterilization or movement.
[0067] Further, as Figure 2 shown in Figure 8 Figure, at least a part of the wrapping layer 4 has a transparent part 42 for observing the test strip 1.
[0068] The provision of the transparent part 42 allows operators or technicians to observe the status and results of the test strip 1 in real time, and obtain the test results quickly without opening the wrapping layer 4, eliminating the need to repeatedly open the wrapping layer 4 or perform wrapping through the wrapping layer 4, which can save the time and cost that may be required during the testing process and improve work efficiency.
[0069] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the test results can also be observed and recorded through the transparent part 42, such as taking photos or videos, to meet the quality control requirements and ensure the traceability and accuracy of the testing process.
[0070] The transparent part 42 can be implemented by a transparent material. Preferably, the transparent part 42 can cover the outer surface of the wrapping layer 4, or the entire wrapping layer 4 is made of a transparent material, greatly enhancing the visibility of the internal space of the new wet pack detection device.
[0071] Furthermore, as Figure 7 shown in Figure 8 , a fixing structure 5 is also provided for maintaining the wrapped state of the wrapping layer 4 with the tray 2 and the condensation structure 3.
[0072] The fixing structure 5 can enable a tight fit between the wrapping layer 4 and the tray 2, reducing the possibility of deformation, dislocation or offset of the wrapping layer 4, contributing to maintaining the stability inside the first space 41, and thus realizing the stability of simulating the internal environment of the medical device package.
[0073] By maintaining the wrapped state of the wrapping layer 4 with the tray 2 and the condensation structure 3 through the fixing structure 5, the risk of the wrapping layer 4 falling off or accidentally detaching is reduced, improving the safety and stability of the overall structure of the new wet pack detection device.
[0074] Furthermore, a plurality of hollow parts 51 are provided on the surface of the fixing structure 5.
[0075] The hollow parts 51 can effectively reduce the overall weight of the fixing structure 5, enhance the portability of the new wet pack detection device, and facilitate the movement of the new wet pack detection device; the hollow structure can improve the ventilation effect outside the wrapping layer 4, contributing to simulating the external environment of the medical device package in the sterilizer;
[0076] The hollow parts 51 cooperate with the transparent part 42 to allow observation of the first space 41 inside the wrapping layer 4 without completely removing or opening the new wet pack detection device, saving time and improving operation efficiency.
[0077] Furthermore, the wrapping layer 4 includes any one or more of a non-woven fabric wrapping layer, a cotton fabric wrapping layer, and a high-temperature paper-plastic wrapping layer.
[0078] Understandably, non-woven fabrics and cotton fabrics can generally provide good breathability. As the main materials for medical device packaging, they enable the packaged devices to exchange gases inside the package. At the same time, they also have a certain degree of waterproofness to protect the devices from external moisture. Some non-woven fabrics can have good water absorption and suitable sterilization performance, making them suitable for the packaging process after sterilization to ensure the aseptic state of the devices.
[0079] Using non-woven fabric wrapping layers, cotton fabric wrapping layers, and high-temperature paper-plastic wrapping layers for wrapping further conforms to the actual state of medical device packaging. At the same time, the high-temperature paper-plastic wrapping layer has high transparency, which is also convenient for observing the internal environment.
[0080] Furthermore, the tray 2 includes a metal tray, and the condensation structure 3 includes a metal condensation structure;
[0081] Adopting a metal tray and a metal condensation structure also helps to simulate metal medical devices and achieve a condensation effect similar to that of actual metal medical devices.
[0082] The embodiments of the present application at least have the following beneficial effects:
[0083] The embodiments of the present application provide a novel wet pack detection device, which does not require unpacking the medical device package, is not easy to cause resource waste, has a simple usage method, and also improves the accuracy of wet pack detection results. Specifically, there are a test paper 1, a tray 2, a condensation structure 3, and a wrapping layer 4, which can simulate the internal environment of the medical device package and is relatively close to the real environment of the medical device package. There are several condensation grooves 31 on the condensation structure 3, and at least part of the test paper 1 is arranged in the condensation grooves 31, which helps to simulate the complex structure inside the medical device and detect the dryness and humidity at different positions in the first space 41, reducing the possibility of detection errors. By objectively comparing the colors of the test paper 1 before and after sterilization, accurate judgment is achieved, avoiding frequent unpacking, repeated cleaning, packaging, and sterilization, reducing costs, and reducing the workload.
[0084] Those skilled in the art can understand that the modules in the device in the implementation scenario can be distributed in the device in the implementation scenario according to the description of the implementation scenario, or can be correspondingly changed and located in one or more devices different from this implementation scenario. The modules in the above implementation scenario can be combined into one module, or further split into multiple sub-modules.
[0085] The above serial numbers of the present application are only for description and do not represent the advantages or disadvantages of the implementation scenario.
[0086] The above-disclosed are only several specific implementation scenarios of the present application. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be thought of by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
