Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a moisturizing device for a digestive endoscope after bedside pre-cleaning treatment. Background Technique

[0002] The digestive endoscope diagnosis and treatment technology is currently in a stage of rapid development. In addition to routine examinations, endoscopic surgical techniques are also changing with each passing day. However, digestive endoscope examination is an important risk factor for the transmission of Enterobacteriaceae and its related superbugs. If the endoscope is not thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, it is very easy to cause adverse consequences such as iatrogenic cross-infection and iatrogenic disease transmission. In 2016, China formulated the Technical Specification for the Cleaning and Disinfection of Flexible Endoscopes WS507-2016 (hereinafter referred to as the specification). There are also updated versions of endoscopic cleaning and disinfection specification guidelines abroad, which provide technical guidance for endoscopic cleaning and disinfection work. The pre-cleaning treatment after endoscopic diagnosis and treatment is the first and crucial step. After the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment is completed, it takes a certain amount of time to transport the contaminated endoscope to the cleaning and disinfection center. The dirt such as blood and secretions remaining on the outer surface of the contaminated endoscope, especially the inner wall pipeline of the endoscope, is easy to dry and solidify, and bacteria are easy to form biofilms. Biofilms can protect microorganisms from the effects of cleaning and disinfectants, resulting in the failure of subsequent cleaning and disinfection procedures. According to domestic and foreign guidelines, pre-cleaning treatment should be carried out after the bedside examination of the patient, and the earlier the pretreatment, the better the effect. The 2016 Chinese specification recommends using wet wipes or wet gauze containing cleaning solution to wipe off the dirt on the outer surface of the endoscope, repeatedly blowing air and water for at least 10 seconds, then inserting the front end of the endoscope into a container filled with cleaning solution, starting the suction function, and sucking the cleaning solution until it flows into the suction tube. At present, most domestic units use traditional or modified pretreatment buckets filled with cleaning solution to complete the above steps. The cleaning solution can be a cleaning agent or an enzyme product required by the endoscope product.

[0003] In addition, after the pre-cleaning treatment is completed, the endoscope and its internal channels must be kept moist during the transfer to the cleaning and disinfection room. However, the distance between the cleaning and disinfection equipment rooms of many existing medical units and the endoscope examination rooms is too far. Especially in special situations such as intraoperative endoscopy and emergency endoscopy, the time for transporting contaminated endoscopes to the washing and disinfection center is longer, and it is impossible to ensure the moist state of the endoscope after pretreatment. Domestic and foreign guidelines do not have clear or consistent recommendations on the time for transporting contaminated endoscopes to cleaning and disinfection and the transportation equipment. It is recommended to complete cleaning and disinfection within 1-3 hours after the endoscope examination. The 2020 multi-society guidelines for the reprocessing of flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes and accessories mention that fully enclosed, puncture-resistant, leak-proof and labeled containers can be used to transport contaminated endoscopes to prevent staff, patients and the environment from being exposed to potential infectious organisms during transportation. However, at present, most domestic medical units directly transport contaminated endoscopes after pretreatment, and there is no special container for moisturizing and transporting.

[0004] After endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, the contaminated endoscope is first pre-cleaned. Thereafter, it is preferably immediately transported to the disinfection area. During transportation, the endoscope and its internal channels must remain moist. However, in actual clinical work, there is a situation where disinfection is not timely and the waiting time for transportation is too long. Especially in special cases such as intraoperative endoscopy and emergency endoscopy, the waiting time for transportation is relatively long, and the pre-treated endoscope is prone to drying out and cannot ensure a moist state. The pre-treated endoscope is prone to forming a biofilm in a dry state, resulting in failure of subsequent cleaning and disinfection and increasing the risk of endoscope-related infections.

[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the utility model, the following will be described in detail by way of examples in combination with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the utility model provides a technical solution: A moisturizing device for pre-cleaning and post-treatment of a digestive endoscope beside the bed, including:

[0028] An insertion tube 1 is provided, and an endoscopic tip 3 is arranged at the top of the insertion tube 1. A protective bag 2 is arranged on the outer side wall of the insertion tube 1. A rope sleeve 201 is arranged at the inlet end of the protective bag 2. A pull rope 4 is arranged inside the rope sleeve 201. A lock seat 6 is arranged on the outer side wall of the pull rope 4. A spring 7 is arranged at the inner bottom of the lock seat 6. A pressing block 8 is arranged at the top of the spring 7.

[0029] Through the arrangement of the protective bag 2 and the pull rope 4, the wet state of the endoscope during transportation is ensured, the formation of the endoscope biofilm is avoided, and the staff, patients and the environment are prevented from being exposed to potential infectious organisms during transportation. The protective bag 2 has two size models, which are respectively suitable for the tips of gastroscopes and colonoscopes, 10 cm * 150 cm and 10 cm * 200 cm.

[0030] Embodiment Two:

[0031] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, a moisturizing device after bedside pre-cleaning treatment of a digestive endoscope disclosed in the second embodiment of the present utility model has basically the same structure as that in the first embodiment, and the difference lies in:

[0032] The protective bag 2 includes a plastic outer layer 10 arranged on the outside, and a reverse osmosis layer 11 is arranged inside the plastic outer layer 10.

[0033] A cotton moisturizing liquid layer 12 is arranged inside the reverse osmosis layer 11, and the cotton moisturizing liquid layer 12 is attached to the endoscopic tip 3.

[0034] One end of the rope sleeve 201 is provided with a pulling port 5 corresponding to the pull rope 4.

[0035] Through the arrangement of the plastic outer layer 10, the reverse osmosis layer 11 and the cotton moisturizing liquid layer 12, the plastic outer layer 10 plays a role in protecting the endoscope, avoiding damage and scratches of the endoscope. The reverse osmosis layer 11 avoids liquid penetration, and the cotton moisturizing liquid layer 12 can keep the endoscope in a wet state and avoid the formation of the endoscope biofilm.

[0036] Embodiment Three:

[0037] As Figures 5 - 6 shown, a moisturizing device after bedside pre-cleaning treatment of a digestive endoscope disclosed in the third embodiment of the present utility model has basically the same structure as that in the second embodiment, and the difference lies in:

[0038] A lock hole 601 is arranged on the outer side wall of the lock seat 6, and the lock hole 601 is adapted to the size of the pull rope 4.

[0039] The outer wall of the pressing block 8 is provided with a limiting block 801, and the outer wall of the pressing block 8 is provided with a rope hole 802, and the rope hole 802 is the same size as the lock hole 601.

[0041] The length of the insertion tube 1 is 10 CM, and the insertion tube 1 is located at the bottom of the endoscopic tip 3.

[0042] Through the settings of the sealing strip 9, the lock seat 6, the spring 7 and the pressing block 8, when the protection bag 2 is not in use, it relies on the sealing strip 9 to achieve a closed structure. After it is enabled and the endoscopic tip 3 is put in, by pressing the pressing block 8, the pressing block 8 drives the pull rope 4 to move downward, so that the rope hole 802 is aligned with the lock hole 601. At this time, pulling the pull rope 4 moves the lock seat 6 inward, so that the rope sleeve 201 is tightened. Releasing the pressing block 8, the spring 7 drives the pressing block 8 to rebound. At this time, the rope hole 802 is misaligned with the lock hole 601, thereby locking the pull rope 4 and preventing the protection bag 2 from falling off.

[0043] The specific solution of this scheme is as follows: Insert the endoscopic tip 3 into the protection bag 2 to ensure the wet state of the endoscope during transportation, avoid the formation of the endoscope biofilm, and prevent the staff, patients and the environment from being exposed to potential infectious organisms during transportation. The protection bag 2 has two size models, which are respectively suitable for the tips of gastroscopes and colonoscopes, 10 cm * 150 cm and 10 cm * 200 cm. The plastic outer layer 10 plays a role in protecting the endoscope, avoiding damage and scratches to the endoscope. The reverse osmosis layer 11 avoids liquid penetration. The cotton moisture-retaining liquid layer 12 can keep the endoscope in a wet state and avoid the formation of the endoscope biofilm. By pressing the pressing block 8, the pressing block 8 drives the pull rope 4 to move downward, so that the rope hole 802 is aligned with the lock hole 601. At this time, the pull rope 4 can be pulled to move the lock seat 6 inward, so that the rope sleeve 201 is tightened. Releasing the pressing block 8, the spring 7 drives the pressing block 8 to rebound. At this time, the rope hole 802 is misaligned with the lock hole 601, thereby locking the pull rope 4 and preventing the protection bag 2 from falling off.
