Description

A mixed oxygen nitric oxide therapeutic device and flow control system Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to a mixed oxygen nitric oxide therapeutic device and a flow control system. Background Art

[0002] Cardiovascular disease is a serious health hazard and one of the leading causes of death. It also causes disability in tens of thousands of people each year. Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication in patients with critical cardiovascular disease and remains a major challenge in its treatment.

[0003] In 1991, Fratacci et al. demonstrated in an animal model of pulmonary hypertension that inhaled low-concentration nitric oxide (NO) could reduce pulmonary artery pressure. Because of its highly selective pulmonary vasodilation, NO is becoming an increasingly important treatment for patients with combined respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and PH. Inhaled NO therapy can reduce the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) by 80% and significantly reduce mortality. Despite the inherent risks of low-concentration NO therapy, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its use in the clinical treatment of patients with combined PH and RDS in 1999, after more than seven years of research.

[0004] At present, the risks of inhaled nitric oxide therapy include: the safe concentration range of NO is very small, it is easy to combine with hemoglobin to produce methemoglobin, it is very easy to be oxidized into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and cause pulmonary edema, sudden interruption of inhalation will produce withdrawal reaction, and NO is harmful to the environment and medical staff. In general, reasonable control of the relative concentrations of oxygen and nitric oxide is one of the very important indicators of mixed oxygen nitric oxide therapy devices.

[0005] However, existing mixed oxygen flow control systems are all used in connection with a ventilator and cannot be used in connection with a nasal cannula or mask alone. In addition, it is difficult to accurately control the gas flow rate, and it is difficult to evenly mix oxygen and nitric oxide, detect the gas content, and provide safety protection functions, thereby reducing the stability and reliability of treatment, resulting in difficulty in ensuring that patients obtain accurate gas concentrations, thereby reducing the operability of the system.

When the content of each component of O2, NO and NO2 is less than or equal to the threshold, the switch of the output component will be started to ensure that the gas concentration is within a safe range, which can effectively provide additional safety protection to prevent patients from being harmed by abnormal gas concentrations;

[0042] In summary, the flow control system of the mixed oxygen nitric oxide therapy device can improve the stability and reliability of treatment by accurately controlling the gas flow rate, evenly mixing the gas, detecting the gas content and providing safety protection functions, ensuring that the patient obtains the accurate gas concentration, while ensuring the patient's safety and improving the operability of the system.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1, the gas content sensing module includes an O2 content sensing component, a NO content sensing component, and a NO2 content sensing component. The gas content sensing module can monitor gas content in real time. Through the measurement of the sensing component, the concentration of O2, NO, and NO2 can be timely understood to ensure that the gas concentration during treatment meets the requirements and provide accurate content data to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment. Based on the content data provided by the sensing component, the operator can adjust the treatment parameters in a timely manner, such as adjusting the gas flow rate or concentration, to meet the specific needs of the patient.

When the gas content exceeds the threshold, the alarm component can emit a sound or light signal to alert the operator or patient to the abnormal gas content. This allows timely detection of problems and avoidance of potential dangers. Since gas content exceeding the threshold may cause harm to patients or equipment, activating the alarm component can immediately stop the gas supply to ensure the safety of patients and equipment. When the gas content exceeds the threshold, the triggering of the alarm component can also remind the operator to perform maintenance work. For example, it may be necessary to replace the sensor component or check the gas supply system to restore normal gas content. In addition, activating the alarm component can record the abnormal gas content event and associate it with other data. This data can be used for analysis and research to help improve treatment equipment and processes and enhance the quality and safety of treatment.

[0047] In summary, by connecting the output end of the gas content sensor module to the alarm component and setting a threshold, the alarm component is activated when the gas content exceeds the threshold. This can provide timely warnings, safety protection, prevention of excessive concentration, maintenance reminders, and data recording and analysis functions; these functions help ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

The O2 and NO in the O2 tank and the NO tank enter the interior of the O2 inlet pipe 3 and the NO inlet pipe 4 respectively. Among them, O2 passes through the second gas filter 11 and the first flow rate controller 5 in sequence and enters the three-way pipe 2, while NO passes through the first gas filter 10 and the second flow rate controller 6 in sequence and enters the three-way pipe 2. They are uniformly mixed inside the three-way pipe 2, and the mixed O2, NO and NO2 are output through the output pipe 13 to play a therapeutic role for the patient.

[0056] It is worth noting that when the content of each component of O2, NO and NO2 is less than or equal to the threshold value, it can be output through the output tube 13. When the content of any component among O2, NO and NO2 is greater than the threshold value, the buzzer set on the shell is used to serve as a warning alarm to monitor and remind of the abnormal content of O2, NO and NO2 components.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
