Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital supplies, and in particular to a medical specimen cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In many surgeries, diseased tissue is removed from the patient, then prepared into specimens and temporarily stored before being taken to the laboratory or pathology department for relevant testing. This invention relates to a medical specimen cabinet for preparing and temporarily storing diseased tissue specimens, typically placed in a specimen storage room next to the operating room.
[0003] The preparation of the above-mentioned lesion tissue specimens includes the following steps: surgically removing the lesion tissue and placing it into a specimen bag; taking the specimen bag to the storage room, placing it on the table of the specimen cabinet, injecting formalin into the specimen bag, and sealing the specimen bag, usually by tying the bag opening tightly with a rubber band; printing a label displaying relevant specimen information and affixing the label to the specimen bag; and recording the specimen storage and retrieval information.
[0004] Based on the above steps, a medical specimen cabinet should ideally have the following structure or function: it should be able to hold formalin containers and output devices such as hand pumps, so that formalin can be injected into the specimen bag; it should be able to hold computers, label printers and other label printing-related items, so that labels can be printed and affixed to the specimen bag; it should also be able to use a computer to record specimen storage and retrieval information, or use paper records if a computer is not used.
[0005] Currently, the aforementioned formalin containers, computers, paper, rubber bands, and other items are all placed on the tabletop of the medical specimen cabinet. Specimen bags from the operating room are also placed on the tabletop for formalin injection and sealing. Inevitably, specimen bags may contain contaminants such as patient bodily fluids, and there may be spills of formalin, such as formalin overflowing during sealing. This easily contaminates the tabletop and the various items placed on it. The contaminated tabletop requires cleaning and disinfection, but the numerous items on it make cleaning and disinfection difficult. The patent application number 202121976181.3, which addresses some common problems with medical specimen cabinets, does not solve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a medical specimen cabinet with a special specimen preparation table.
[0007] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: The medical specimen cabinet includes a lower part and an upper part; the top of the lower part of the specimen cabinet is a cabinet platform, the upper part of the specimen cabinet is set on the cabinet platform, and the front end of the upper part of the specimen cabinet is located behind the front end of the cabinet platform; it also includes an operation board; the operation board is horizontally set on one side of the lower part of the specimen cabinet, and the operation board is detachably connected to the lower part of the specimen cabinet; the upper part of the specimen cabinet has a formalin container cavity, which is close to the operation board, and the upper part of the specimen cabinet has a first through hole, which extends from the side of the upper part of the specimen cabinet near the operation board to the formalin container cavity.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the medical specimen cabinet includes a lower part 1 and an upper part 2. The top of the lower part 1 is a cabinet platform 11, and the upper part 2 is mounted on the cabinet platform 11. The front end of the upper part 2 is located behind the front end of the cabinet platform 11. It also includes an operation panel 3. The operation panel 3 is horizontally mounted on one side of the lower part 1 and is detachably connected to the lower part 1. The upper part 2 has a formalin container cavity 21, which is close to the operation panel 3. The upper part 2 has a first through hole 22, which extends from the side of the upper part 2 near the operation panel 3 to the formalin container cavity 21.
[0025] This utility model features an operating panel 3 located next to the lower part 1 of the specimen cabinet. Specimen bags containing diseased tissue, retrieved from the operating room, are placed on the operating panel for specimen preparation. Figure 3 As shown, a formalin container is placed inside the formalin container cavity 21. A liquid tube is connected to the formalin container and extends through the first through hole 22, allowing formalin solution to be injected into the specimen bag. This completely separates the work surface for specimen preparation from the work surface for placing items. Contaminants adhering to the specimen bag and spilled formalin during preparation only contaminate the worktable 3, without affecting the cabinet platform or the items placed on it. After specimen preparation, the specimen is removed from the worktable 3. With no items on the worktable 3, cleaning and disinfection are convenient, and it can be removed for more thorough cleaning and disinfection. Since there are no other items on the worktable 3 to obstruct specimen preparation, this invention also facilitates specimen preparation.
[0026] The overall structure of the lower part 1 and upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet is similar to that of a common specimen cabinet, consisting of multiple horizontal and vertical panels connected together, with compartments for placing items between adjacent horizontal and vertical panels. Specifically, the lower part 1 of the specimen cabinet has drawers 12 and compartments 13. The drawers 12 and compartments 13 are used to place prepared pathological tissue specimens.
[0027] The upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet and the cabinet platform 11 are used to place various items related to specimen preparation and information recording. Specifically, the half of the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet away from the operation panel 3 has a computer compartment 23 and a keyboard compartment 24 located below the computer compartment 23. The bottom plate of the keyboard compartment 24 is a keyboard tray 25, which can be pulled out. As mentioned earlier, a formalin container is placed in the formalin container chamber 21, and the top surface of the cabinet platform 11 serves as the bottom surface of the formalin container chamber 21. The computer compartment 23 contains the computer host and monitor used for printing and recording information. The keyboard and mouse are placed on the keyboard tray 25. Personnel stand to operate the computer. When using the computer, the keyboard tray 25 is pulled out; when not in use, it is pushed back in. The cabinet platform 11 holds a label printer, paper, rubber bands for securing specimen bags, and other items.
[0028] The specific method for detachably connecting the operating plate 3 to the lower part 1 of the specimen cabinet is as follows: The lower part 1 of the specimen cabinet has two vertically arranged operating plate connecting shafts 14, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction; the operating plate 3 includes an operating plate body 31 and two connecting sleeves 32, spaced apart and connected to the operating plate body 31, and each connecting sleeve 32 is fitted onto one of the two operating plate connecting shafts 14. The connecting sleeves 32 should have a clearance fit with the operating plate connecting shafts 14.
[0029] The control panel 3 can be removed simply by holding it and moving it upwards. To reinstall the control panel 3, align the two connecting sleeves 32 with the two control panel connecting shafts 14 and move them downwards. The operation is simple.
[0030] As mentioned earlier, the specimen preparation operations performed on control panel 3 mainly involve injecting formalin into the specimen bag and tying the bag opening tightly with a rubber band. Formalin is volatile, and some formalin will inevitably evaporate during specimen preparation. Although specimen storage rooms usually have air circulation equipment to handle the evaporating formalin, this equipment only circulates the air throughout the entire storage room and cannot handle the evaporating formalin very promptly, resulting in a delay in processing.
[0031] In order to promptly handle the formalin that evaporates during specimen preparation, this invention can be further improved as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the medical specimen cabinet includes an aspiration hood 4, a purifier hood 5, and a connecting tube 6; the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet has a second passage hole 27 and a purifier compartment 26 located above the formalin container cavity 21; the aspiration hood 4 is located above the operating panel 3 and is detachably connected to the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet, the purifier hood 5 is located inside the purifier compartment 26, and the connecting tube 6 passes through the second passage hole 27, with both ends of the connecting tube 6 connected to the aspiration hood 4 and the purifier hood 5 respectively.
[0032] So it is Figure 6 As shown, an existing air purifier with its air intake facing upwards is placed in the purifier compartment 26, and the purifier cover 5 is placed over the air intake. Since the air intake cover 4 is located above the control panel 3, turning on the air purifier will absorb and purify the air above the control panel 3, meaning that the volatile formaldehyde can be absorbed and purified in a timely manner. As shown in the figure, the connecting pipe 6 can be stored in the purifier compartment 26 after being separated from the air intake cover 4. The air intake cover 4 can be removed and stored in a compartment of the medical specimen cabinet or elsewhere.
[0033] Specifically, the preferred medical specimen cabinet includes two vertically arranged first guide structures 7, which are spaced apart on one side of the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet. Each first guide structure 7 includes a first guide rail 71, a first slider 72, and a tightening screw 73. The first guide structure 7 is connected to the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet. The first slider 72 cooperates with the first guide rail 71 and can be removed from the upper end of the first guide rail 71. The tightening screw 73 is threadedly connected to the first slider and can tighten the first guide rail 71. The suction hood 4 is connected to the first slider 72.
[0034] Similar to common guide structures, a dovetail groove or a T-slot can be provided on the first guide rail 71. The lower end of the dovetail groove or T-slot is closed, and the upper end is open. The shape of the first slider 72 matches the dovetail groove or T-slot, allowing it to move up and down within the groove. Since the upper end of the groove is open, the first slider 72 can be removed from the upper end of the groove, thus enabling the suction hood 4 to be detached. The movement of the first slider 72 makes the height of the suction hood 4 adjustable. After adjustment, tightening the locking screw 73 locks the position.
[0035] Specifically, the preferred medical specimen cabinet includes two vertically arranged second guide structures 8, which are respectively set on the left and right side walls of the purifier compartment 26. Each second guide structure 8 includes a second guide rail and a second slider. The second guide rail is connected to the upper part 2 of the specimen cabinet, and the second slider cooperates with the second guide rail. The purifier cover 5 is connected to the second slider through a connecting rod 9.
[0036] Thus, the purifier cover 5 is height-adjustable to accommodate purifiers of different heights. The specific structure of the second guide rail and the second slider can be the same as that of the first guide rail 71 and the first slider 72.
