Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a pressure steam cleaning device for rigid endoscope operating instruments. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of precision and minimally invasive surgery, rigid endoscopes are increasingly widely used in medicine. As a medical device that enters the body cavity, rigid endoscopes can directly observe lesions in the internal organs, determine their location and extent, and perform photography, biopsy, or brushing, improving the accuracy of disease diagnosis. They can also be used for certain treatments. A survey of 2,271 hospitals in my country found that rigid endoscopes accounted for 79.61% of surgical instruments centrally processed in the sterilization supply center. However, reusable rigid endoscopes have also become a potential medium for the transmission of pathogens and iatrogenic infections. Studies show that about 60%-80% of iatrogenic infections originate from reusable medical devices. The "Top Ten Medical Technology Hazards" published by the National Institute of Emergency Medicine in 2024 placed the issue of medical device cleanliness at the forefront, emphasizing that failure to properly clean, disinfect, or sterilize reusable medical devices can lead to infection transmission, equipment damage, and other forms of harm.

[0003] Rigid endoscopic instruments, such as dissecting forceps, dissecting scissors, and intestinal forceps, consist of two parts: an inner core and an outer cannula. Postoperatively, residual patient blood and tissue can form scabs that adhere to the grooves of the inner core and the inner wall of the outer cannula if not treated promptly, significantly complicating the cleaning process. Currently, staff in the sterilization supply center primarily use manual scrubbing supplemented by handheld pressure steam guns. However, manual scrubbing is inefficient, and handheld pressure steam guns generate a large amount of aerosols during use, posing occupational exposure risks. Additionally, the handheld steam guns also pose a risk of burns. Therefore, this paper proposes a pressure steam cleaning device for rigid endoscopic instruments to overcome these shortcomings.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] When using this invention, the rigid endoscope manipulator is disassembled into an outer tube and an inner core. The transparent sealing cover 2 on top of the body 1 is pushed upwards, sliding upwards along the body 1. At this time, the outer tube of the rigid endoscope manipulator is inserted from front to back into the slot on the front side of the outer tube holder 7 and fixed. The outer tube portion of the rigid endoscope manipulator contacts the outer side of the cleaning roller 18 inside the outer tube holder 7, while the inner core of the rigid endoscope manipulator is inserted into the limiting groove on the outer side of the cleaning roller. After placement... Push down the transparent sealing cover 2 to open the push-pull steam nozzle rod 3. Control the first motor 14 on the left end face of the machine body 1 via the control panel 11 to start, and simultaneously open the second motor 17 located on the bottom right side of the outer tube holder 7. First, the first motor 14 drives the output shaft 15 at the output end to rotate counterclockwise. The cleaning roller 6 set on the outside of the output shaft 15 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 15. The high-temperature steam sprayed from the push-pull steam nozzle rod 3 located on the upper right of the cleaning roller 6 makes full contact between the steam and the tooth groove of the inner core clamp of the rigid endoscope operating instrument under the rotation of the cleaning roller 6. Simultaneously, the second motor 17 drives the linkage wheel 19 at the top right side inside the bottom shell 16 to rotate. A belt 21 is installed on the outside of the linkage wheel 19. The rotation of one set of linkage wheels 19 can drive all linkage wheels 19 to rotate simultaneously. The fixed shaft 20 at the top of the linkage wheel 19 drives the cleaning roller 18 to perform contact cleaning on the surface of the outer tube of the rigid endoscope operating instrument. Because the outer side of the cleaning roller 18 is equipped with bristles that can cover the surface of the outer tube of the rigid endoscope operating instrument, the outer tube of the rigid endoscope operating instrument can be cleaned from all directions during the rotation of the cleaning roller 18. While washing, the exhaust fan 13 located at the rear of the machine body 1 is turned on. The exhaust fan 13 exhausts the steam inside the machine body 1 to the outside through the exhaust port 5 at the rear of the machine body 1. The water formed by the cooling of the steam inside the machine body 1 is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 12. After washing, push the transparent sealing cover 2 upward to remove the outer tube of the rigid endoscope operating instrument from the front side of the outer tube holder 7. Then remove the inner core of the rigid endoscope operating instrument from the outside of the rotating drum 6. Pull the pull-type telescopic water spray head 4 upward to rinse the contaminants inside the machine body 1. The contaminants and wastewater are discharged from the drain pipe 12.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
