Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary instruments, in particular to an RFID connector for medical instruments in an operating room. Background Technique
[0002] The frequent use of surgical instruments and postoperative infections have always been issues that clinical medicine highly concerns and urgently needs to solve. Once postoperative infection occurs, it will not only increase the pain and economic burden of patients, but may also lead to medical disputes. Therefore, in practice, medical institutions are required to effectively and standardly manage surgical instruments. At the same time, when a medical institution performs surgery on a patient, there may be a risk of surgical items being left in the patient's body. The traditional response method is to establish a surgical item inventory system and create corresponding forms such as the "Surgical Nursing Record Sheet". Before the surgery starts, all surgical instruments and accessories are registered, and after the surgery, double-person multiple inventories are carried out based on this record sheet. However, this manual inventory method is not only time-consuming and laborious but also prone to errors.
[0003] Traditionally, Laser or dotpen is used to engrave codes on surgical instruments. The Datamatrix code system is considered a means for tracing single surgical instruments, but its main drawbacks are that the engraved code position may become unavailable due to impact, and a new position must be found for etching; or it cannot be read in the presence of blood stains; or it cannot be batch-identified during the postoperative inventory process, and the operation of scanning each code one by one increases the workload of medical staff.
[0004] Currently, the existing radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is an advanced identification and positioning technology that uses radio waves to transmit identification information to dynamic targets non-contact and at a long distance, truly achieving "one code for one item" and enabling real-time and rapid item inventory and data exchange.
[0005] In the current existing technology, for example, in a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN216014285U, a split-type RFID electronic tag fixing device for surgical instruments is disclosed, which seals and fixes the RFID tag on the surgical instrument through a sealing layer.
[0006] However, the above technical solution has at least the following defects. During use, there is a risk of damage to surgical instruments and RFID tags (such as improper operation, bumping, etc.). However, the RFID tag is fixedly attached to the surgical instrument, and it is difficult to disassemble and replace it in time when it is damaged. Moreover, since surgical instruments need to be frequently disinfected, a large number of various surgical instruments are concentrated for disinfection, which is more likely to cause damage to the RFID tag, resulting in the surgical instrument being unusable due to the damage of the RFID tag, or the RFID tag being left unused due to the damage of the surgical instrument, causing waste of resources, with relatively large limitations in use. In addition, surgical instruments of different specifications have different materials, shapes, and usage requirements. Some surgical instruments are difficult to be used for welding, or cannot directly fix the RFID tag, resulting in the RFID tag of the above technical solution being difficult to flexibly adapt to different surgical instruments, reducing the application scope of the RFID tag and making it difficult to effectively meet the usage requirements of surgical instruments.

[0037] In these embodiments, the carrier 1 is positioned and installed at an appropriate position of the instrument body 3 by the ligature 2, and then fixed to the carrier 1 by the fixing member 4 with the RFID tag 5. Through the fixed installation of the fixing member 4 and the carrier 1, the ligature 2 is firmly fixed to the carrier 1. Through the cooperation of the carrier 1, the ligature 2, and the fixing member 4, the RFID tag 5 can be quickly and firmly fixed at any appropriate position of the instrument body 3. It is not only more convenient and flexible to load and unload, but also can be flexibly installed according to different specifications of surgical instruments, enabling the RFID tag 5 to flexibly adapt to various surgical instruments (different materials, shapes, usage requirements, etc.), better meeting the usage requirements of surgical instruments.

[0038] Furthermore, through the cooperation of the fixing member 4 and the carrier 1, the ligature 2 can be firmly fixed between the two, and the ligature 2 can be tightened to the greatest extent. This not only ensures the stability of the fixation, but also enables the present utility model to be firmly fixed at any appropriate position of the instrument body 3, thereby flexibly fixing and installing the RFID tag 5. It can not only ensure the stable use of the RFID tag 5, but also minimize the impact on the use of surgical instruments, providing more options and convenience for medical staff and effectively increasing the application range of the RFID tag 5.
[0039] In some embodiments of the RFID connector for medical devices in the operating room, the carrier 1 includes an upper mouth part 101 and a lower mouth part 102. The lower mouth part 102 is attached to the instrument body 3, and the upper mouth part 101 is in plug-in connection with the fixing member 4.
[0040] In these embodiments, the upper mouth part 101 is formed at the top of the carrier 1, and the lower mouth part 102 is formed at the bottom of the carrier 1. Through the upper mouth part 101, it is not only convenient for the installation of the fixing member 4, but also convenient for the placement of the ligature 2, ensuring the reliability of loading and unloading. Through the lower mouth part 102, the carrier 1 can be more stably attached to the instrument body 3, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the fixed installation. It should be understood that the shape of the lower mouth part 102 is adapted to different specifications and shapes of surgical instruments, as well as the specific shapes of different fixed positions, so as to ensure that the lower mouth part 102 can better fit the installation position and ensure the stability of the installation.
[0041] In some embodiments of RFID connectors for medical devices used in operating rooms, the ligature member 2 includes a fixing portion 201. At both ends of the fixing portion 201, movable portions 202 are formed. The fixing portion 201 is attached to the outer surface of the instrument body 3, and both movable portions 202 pass through the carrier member 1 through the lower orifice 102 and extend to the outer surface of the carrier member 1 through the upper orifice 101.
[0042] In these embodiments, the fixing portion 201 and the movable portion 202 are oppositely arranged. According to different surgical instruments, their relative proportions are adaptively adjusted to ensure that the ligature member 2 can stably ligate the instrument body 3. Through the cooperation of the fixing portion 201 and the movable portion 202, the ligature member 2 can be flexibly fixed at an appropriate position according to the usage requirements. Then, the movable portion 202 is passed through the carrier member 1. The operation is simple and convenient, which is more conducive to timely loading, unloading and replacement, and is beneficial to reducing the operation difficulty of medical staff.
[0043] In some embodiments of RFID connectors for medical devices used in operating rooms, the fixing member 4 includes an outer cap portion 401 and an inner pin portion 402.

Among them, a chute is formed at the top end of the card slot portion 103 to ensure that the buckle portion 601 can enter and exit stably, and a relief groove is formed at the bottom end of the card slot portion 103 to ensure that the buckle portion 601 can be smoothly buckled in the card slot portion 103.
[0054] It should be understood that both the carrier member 1 and the fixing member 4 are made of high-temperature resistant plastics. The cooperation between the buckle portion 601 and the card slot portion 103 is preferably a plastic buckle. The plastic buckle mainly utilizes the characteristic that the plastic can return to its original shape after elastic deformation. Therefore, the buckle portion 601 and the card slot portion 103 can be loaded and unloaded in time, so as to flexibly load and unload the carrier member 1 and the fixing member 4.
[0055] Furthermore, it should be understood that for the purpose of the present invention, the plastic buckle formed by the cooperation of the buckle portion 601 and the card slot portion 103 can also be of other types, including but not limited to cantilever buckles, ring buckles and ball buckles. Based on the prior art, the above structures will not be described in detail.
[0056] For further illustrative examples, a card slot can be provided on the outer surface of the carrier member 1, and a protrusion is formed on the inner side wall of the outer cap portion 401. The protrusion can be clamped in the card slot. By squeezing the outer cap portion 401, the protrusion is clamped tightly in the card slot of the carrier member 1, thereby fixing it on the carrier member 1.
[0057] In some embodiments of the RFID connector for medical devices in the operating room, the locking member 6 further includes a positioning portion 602, and the positioning portion 602 is formed on the opposite sides of the two locking members 6;

[0059] The positioning portion 602 is inserted into the guiding portion 104.
[0060] In these embodiments, through the cooperation of the positioning portion 602 and the guiding portion 104, an effective guiding and supporting effect can be provided for the installation of the fixing member 4, which is more convenient for the loading and unloading of the fixing member 4 and is simpler and more convenient to use.
[0061] In some embodiments of an RFID connector for a medical device in an operating room, an installation groove 7 extending to the inner pin portion 402 is formed on the upper surface of the outer cap portion 401, and the RFID tag 5 is fixedly installed in the installation groove 7, and a sealing plug 8 is clamped at the top end of the installation groove 7.
[0062] In these embodiments, by installing the RFID tag 5 through the installation groove 7, not only can the smooth use of the RFID tag 5 be ensured, but also the use safety can be guaranteed. When necessary, the RFID tag 5 can be replaced separately, making the use more flexible and diverse. It should be understood that the mechanical structure and working principle of the RFID tag 5 are both prior arts, so they will not be elaborated herein.
[0063] In some embodiments of an RFID connector for a medical device in an operating room, the ligature 2 is any one of a copper wire, a medical thread, and a silk fabric.
[0064] In these embodiments, the type of the ligature 2 can be flexibly selected according to the use requirements to ensure the stability of its fixed installation.
