Abstract
Description
A device for measuring the injection speed of an ICT smart regulator with a photo sensor drip container
[0001] The present invention relates to a fluid management device, and more particularly, to a smart regulator capable of checking the fluid injection speed, and to a fluid injection speed measuring device of an ICT smart regulator having a photo sensor drip bottle that transmits information on the amount of fluid being injected into a patient in real time in a hospital, so that a nurse caring for the patient can remotely check the information on the amount of fluid injected using a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or server.
[0002] Typically, intravenous fluids or blood are administered continuously to patients using an intravenous drip set, which contains a Ringer's bottle or pack. The intravenous drip set functions to continuously infuse the fluid into the patient's body based on the difference in blood pressure or the pressure of the fluid, and consists of an introducer tube, a control valve, or a catheter. The intravenous drip set allows the fluid contained in the Ringer's bottle or pack to drip into the introducer tube at a rate controlled by the control valve, and the fluid initially stored in the introducer tube is then infused through the tube and catheter into a vein or blood vessel. This infusion process is time-consuming, and when the amount of fluid administered per unit time is large, it is difficult to manage the amount of fluid.
[0003] When caring for a patient in a hospital or at home, in order to continuously monitor the patient's condition, separate resident staff must use various measuring devices to measure the patient's fluid intake information and vital information to determine the patient's condition. In addition, in order to continuously monitor and manage the condition of the hospital room, separate resident staff must also use various measuring devices to measure and manage the condition of the patient's living space. Therefore, there is a problem that a lot of manpower is required for patient care, which reduces economic efficiency. In addition, if the patient moves while receiving the fluid, such as turning around or going to the bathroom, the catheter may come out, the IV set may turn off, or the connecting tube may become disconnected, which can cause problems in managing the amount of fluid.
[0004] This is especially true for critically ill patients who have difficulty moving from bed. In these cases, the aforementioned incidents are particularly problematic due to limited fluid volume management. Consequently, nurses may miss the point at which the IV fluid is completed or replaced, increasing the risk of medical accidents and increasing their workload.
[0005] Existing flow controllers for IV sets only control the amount of IV fluid that falls, making it impossible to determine how much fluid remains in the IV bag. For this reason, nurses had to frequently visit hospitals or livestock sheds to visually inspect the remaining amount of IV fluid in the bag. On the other hand, there was a problem that guardians or third parties could arbitrarily adjust the flow controller for the IV set in a rule-of-thumb manner, preventing the animal from receiving the appropriate amount of fluid. Therefore, there has been a persistent need for a safer, more reliable flow controller for the IV set that enables accurate flow checks and for remote real-time monitoring of the injection status. Furthermore, prior art has not been able to manage the status of IV fluids administered to multiple individuals or animals in real time or remotely.

[0030] Referring to the overall configuration diagram of the device for measuring the speed of fluid injection of an ICT smart regulator having a photosensor drip container according to the embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 1, it can be seen that it comprises a smart regulator module (100) that obtains the amount of change in the amount of fluid injected into an animal and transmits it to an external terminal (210) using a Bluetooth BLE 5.0 wireless transmission method, a repeater (230) that receives the amount of change in the amount of fluid injected from the smart regulator module (100) and the syringe status information from the syringe module (210), displays the information, and transmits it to the external terminal (210), and a terminal (210) that executes an application that receives the transmission information of the repeater (230) and can remotely monitor the status of the repeater in real time.
[0031] Additionally, the intravenous fluid supply device (10) can generally be located near the patient's bed and can be configured to include a stand (17), an intravenous fluid bag (10), a first tube (18), a smart regulator (11), a second tube (12), and an intravenous fluid inlet (13).
[0032] The stand (17) is generally positioned adjacent to the patient's bed, and an IV bag (10) can be placed on the stand (17). The IV bag (10) and the smart regulator (100) can be connected by a first tube (18), and the smart regulator (100) and the syringe module (220) for injecting the IV can be connected by a second tube (12).
[0033] The smart regulator module (Smart Resister Module; 100) is configured to obtain electrical information on the flow rate that matches the rotation amount according to the amount of solution injected by the regulator interposed between the ringer's solution bag (10) and the solution syringe module (220) and transmit the information to a repeater (230) using a BLE 5.0 wireless communication transmission method, and the repeater (230), which operates as a monitoring device, transmits the received information to an external terminal (210) using a BLE 5.0 2.4GHz Bluetooth short-range wireless communication method.
[0034] Another feature of the present invention is that the smart regulator module (100) measures the fluid injection speed and accurately transmits information on the amount of fluid being injected to the patient in real time.
[0035] Referring to the internal block diagram of the regulator module of FIG. 2, the regulator module includes a BLE module (132f) that operates as a BLE 5.0 Bluetooth module, an MCU (132g) that controls the frequency and communication speed and the entire regulator system, a charger (charger; 132b) that charges a lithium-ion battery through a USB C-type connector, and an IR Photo Sensor (132a) that converts the amount of the injection amount of the smart regulator into an electrical signal in accordance with the amount of the injection amount of the smart regulator.
[0036] Additionally, the smart regulator module (100) may further include a power supply unit (BAT&power;132d) composed of a lithium-ion battery and an LED as a status display device.
[0037] The IR Photo Sensor unit (132a) is operated to extract an electrical signal value, i.e., light quantity information, that matches the injection quantity scale of the regulator and transmit it to the MCU (132g).
[0038] The MCU (132g) operates to transmit electrical information received from the IR Photo Sensor (132a) according to the amount of fluid to the repeater (230) through the BLE module (132f) and antenna.
[0039] Below, the hard configuration of the smart regulator is described using drawings.
[0040] FIG. 3 is a layout diagram of a regulator PCB module according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a structural diagram of a smart regulator of a drip tank according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0041] As illustrated, the regulator module of the present invention comprises a regulator upper module (110), a dripping module (120), and a regulator lower module (130).
[0042] The regulator upper module (110) is composed of an upper cap (112) having a fluid injection tube (111) at the top, an upper regulator part (113) in which the upper cap is inserted and formed as a hole, and a lower regulator part (115) having a protruding tube in the center through which the fluid injected into the fluid injection tube (111) passes, which are connected by a sealing member (114).
[0043] That is, the upper module of the regulator (110) is configured such that the upper fluid injection tube (111) injects fluid through the hole in the upper part of the regulator (113), and the injected fluid is sealed by a sealing member (114) in which the upper and lower parts of the regulator are compressed.
[0044] The drip module (120) is equipped with a drip container (122) in the shape of a semicircular column and a drip container cap (121) on the upper part of the drip container (122), and a fluid discharge tube (123) for discharging fluid is coupled to the lower part of the drip container (122), so that fluid in the lower part of the regulator (115) falls as fluid drops into the drip container (122), and the falling fluid flows into the fluid discharge tube (123) and is connected to a syringe.
[0045] The regulator lower module (130) is assembled by inserting a regulator body cap (131) in which a drip container (122) is connected to the front, and a regulator PCB module (132) in which a photo sensor is connected, into a case regulator (134), and a power button (133) is provided on one side of the case regulator (134).
[0046] The regulator PCB module (132) is configured to accurately measure the amount of Ringer's fluid by measuring the fluid injection speed and to analyze the time of fluid injection.
[0047] To this end, referring to the layout diagram of the regulator PCB module according to the embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 3, the regulator PCB module (132) is electrically connected to a lithium ion battery (132d) so as to be able to charge the battery via a USB connector (132b), and the MCU (132g) checks the liquid dripping onto the IR photo sensor (132a) to calculate the flow rate, and transmits the information to a repeater (230) via a BLE module (132f) and operates to transmit it to a terminal (210).
[0048] A USB connector (132b) is provided on the upper front side of the PCB (132c), and an IR photo sensor (132a) is arranged below it, and an MCU (132g) and a lithium-ion battery (132d) are arranged in order below it, and a power connector (132h) is formed on the upper surface of the lithium-ion battery (132d) so that they are electrically connected to each other.
[0049] A power button (132e) is provided on the back of the PCB (132c) that is electrically connected to the power connector (132h) on the front, and a BLE module (132f) is configured to be electrically connected to the back of the lithium-ion battery (132d).
[0050] The BLE module (132f) can transmit the fluid amount information to a nurse or administrator terminal (210) caring for the patient, for example, using the BLE 5.0 Long Range method.
[0051] A timing diagram of a photosensor according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 9.
[0052] In the drip container (122) inside the regulator of Fig. 4, the MCU (132g) controls the light-emitting sensor (1) and the light-receiving sensor (2) of the IR photo sensor (132a) to output an electrical signal capable of measuring the time of T1 and T2. By calculating the time difference between T1 and T2, the speed of the sap droplets can be calculated. When the MCU (132g) calculates the speed of the sap droplets, it transmits this information to the terminal app via wireless communication using BLE 5.0 Long Range Mode.
[0053] That is, another feature of the present invention is that the amount of change in the animal fluid injection amount of the regulator module (100) is information of a photo sensor value that matches the scale corresponding to the rotation amount of the smart regulator according to the change in the animal fluid injection amount.
[0054] The smart regulator (100) according to this embodiment can inform the patient in real time via this network system whether the amount of fluid set by the nurse is being infused. Through this system, information related to the amount of fluid can be displayed on the nurse's terminal.
[0055] The relay (230) is configured to collect and monitor the status and speed of the fluid injection from the regulator module (100) and the status of the syringe needle being removed from the syringe module (220) so that the data can be displayed on the screen using an application.
[0056] Referring to the internal block diagram of the syringe module according to one embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 5, the syringe module (220) includes a BLE module (223) that operates with BLE 5.0 Bluetooth, an MCU (226) that controls the communication speed and the entire system of the syringe module, a charger (charger; 225) that charges a lithium-ion battery through a USB C-type connector, and an electrostatic touch sensor (222) that can recognize the attachment or detachment state of the syringe needle.
[0057] Additionally, the syringe module (220) may further include a power supply unit (BAT&power;224) composed of a lithium-ion battery and an LED as a status display device.
[0058] The Touch Sensor unit (222) is configured to detect whether the injection needle is removed and transmit information on the detected removal status of the syringe to the MCU (226).
[0059] The MCU (226) operates to transmit information on whether the syringe needle has been removed, received from the Touch Sensor unit (222), to the repeater (230) via the BLE module (223) and antenna.
[0060] That is, the syringe module (220) detects the detachment status of the animal's intravenous fluid injection needle in real time using an electrostatic touch type touch sensor (222), and transmits the information of the detected sensor as data using a BLE 5.0 wireless transmission method.
[0061] In addition, the repeater (230) receives status information of the regulator module (100) and the syringe module (220) from the BLE module (231) using the BLE 5.0 wireless communication transmission method so that it can operate as a monitoring module, and transmits it from the BLE module (233) to a terminal (210) such as a smartphone or tablet using the BLE 5.0 2.4GHz Bluetooth short-range wireless communication method.
[0062] The present invention describes using Bluetooth to automatically search for a terminal in close proximity.
[0063] The application screen related to the sap management monitoring of the present invention displayed on the display unit (232) of the relay (230) and the display unit of the terminal (210) is configured to enable monitoring of the sap management device by displaying the sap treatment information including the injection status of each livestock, the status of the syringe, and livestock house information for each livestock and livestock house.
[0064] Referring to the internal block diagram of the repeater monitor according to the embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 6, the repeater (230) receives status information of the regulator module (100) and the syringe module (220) from the BLE module (231) in a BLE 5.0 wireless communication transmission method so that it can operate as a monitoring module, and transmits it to a terminal (210) such as a smartphone or tablet in a BLE 5.0 2.4GHz Bluetooth short-range wireless communication method BLE module (233).
[0065] In addition, it may further include a display unit (232) using a 7-inch LCD that operates as a touch sensor to monitor the amount of fluid injected by the regulator (100) and the status of the injection needle of the syringe module (220), an MCU (234) that controls the entire inside of the wireless communication and repeater, an alarm unit (236) that warns of abnormal conditions such as the needle, and a power supply unit (BAT&power;235) configured to charge a lithium-ion battery through a USB C-type connector.
[0066] The BLE module (233) is a means for short-range wireless communication such as NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, and beacon, and is configured to enable short-range communication with the short-range communication unit of the terminal.
[0067] In particular, short-range wireless communication provides the sap information related to the present invention to the terminal when the terminal is close to the repeater (230), thereby enabling the monitoring of sap injection management using the application of the present invention.
[0068] In particular, beacons can be used to identify locations at a lower cost than other short-range wireless communication technologies because they can operate by transmitting a small amount of packets, do not require pairing to connect two devices, and communicate using low power.
[0069] Beacons support contactless, long-distance communication up to 50m.
[0070] Additionally, it can identify the location of the device within a margin of error of 5 cm, and can provide various active services because it supports both one-to-many and many-to-many services.
[0071] The beacon itself acts as a reference point to indicate location, and the actual information transmission is based on short-range communication technologies such as Bluetooth and infrared. It is recommended to use a Bluetooth beacon that combines Bluetooth.
[0072] The MCU (234) activates the application, receives information on the variable resistance value for the amount of fluid injected from the BLE module (132f) of the regulator module (100) and information on whether the syringe is attached or detached from the BLE module (223) of the syringe module (220), and displays the information on the display unit (232). If an abnormality occurs, that is, an event occurs, the MCU (234) notifies the manager of the occurrence of the abnormal situation through the terminal (210) and alarm unit (236) held by the manager, thereby preventing an abnormal accident in advance.
[0073] The application screen related to the sap management monitoring of the present invention displayed on the display unit (232) of the relay and the terminal display unit is configured to enable monitoring of the sap management device by displaying sap treatment information including the injection status of each livestock, the status of the syringe, and livestock house information for each livestock and livestock house.
[0074] An example of such an application screen is illustrated in Figure 8.
[0075] FIG. 8 is a Display Monitor GUI for an application according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown, the application screen of the present invention is configured so that, for the convenience of users, there is an embedded monitor system in the livestock farm and the manager can remotely monitor the sap status of the livestock farm anytime, anywhere.
[0076] Referring to the drawing, the top part of the screen is configured to include a display section (50) for the number of livestock to be treated with sap, a display section for the version of the application, and a display section for the name of the company that provided the application.
[0077] The screen shows 24 pigs, the IV management system is version 1.0, and the system is provided by Sungwon Medical. Below this, information about IV injections and the status of the syringes is displayed for each livestock.
[0078] That is, various ID numbers required for livestock management, such as livestock ID (50), corresponding livestock house ID (51), and sap ID (52), are displayed, and the sap injection speed (ml / h) (53), injection start time (hour: min), remaining time (54) (hour: min), and the syringe dropout status (55) are displayed.
[0079] Additionally, a settings button can be displayed that allows the user to set settings by touching the screen for each livestock. Therefore, the administrator can configure a UI that allows the user to set the livestock ID, barn ID, sap injection speed, injection start time, and remaining injection time using the settings button.
[0080] In addition, the relay (230) stores information related to sap administration (sap injection speed, sap injection time, etc.) stored by livestock ID, and when a livestock with the corresponding ID is registered, information related to sap administration previously performed is automatically displayed, allowing convenient setting.
[0081] In addition, in order to increase the legibility of the screen, eight livestock are displayed on one screen by ID, and when the number of livestock exceeds one page, the number of pages can be increased according to the number of livestock by displaying them on the next page screen.
[0082] For example, on the application screen, livestock with pig ID 1 is managed in barn ID 12, the fluid ID is 102567, the fluid information shows that the injection speed is 250 ml / h, started at 15:30, and currently 2 hours and 40 minutes remain, and the syringe discharge status is displayed as normal.
[0083] In contrast, livestock with pig ID 2 is managed in barn ID 12, the fluid ID is 102567, the fluid information shows that the injection speed is 200 ml / h, the injection started at 15:30, and there are currently 3 hours and 20 minutes left, and the syringe is displayed as being removed.
[0084] In this case, the repeater (230) can warn through the alarm unit that the syringe of pig number 2 in barn number 12 is missing, and the screen can also blink to quickly recognize that an emergency has occurred.
[0085] In addition, the relay (230) can transmit the event situation to a registered manager or terminal (210) so that it can be quickly resolved.
[0086] The terminal (210) is a terminal carried by a manager, nurse, or medical staff, and is equipped with an application for performing the fluid management function of the present invention. It displays information received through the BLE 5.0 2.4GHz Bluetooth short-range wireless communication method of the BLE module (233) with the repeater (230), or, if necessary, outputs voice data such as warning sounds and guidance broadcasts to alert the user.
[0087] FIG. 7 is a flowchart regarding a program of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the method for managing the injection of fluids according to the present invention initializes a BLE module (132f, 223, 233) operating as a BLE 5.0 2.4GHz Bluetooth short-range wireless communication driver when the program is executed (S110).
[0088] When the BLE module is initialized in step S110, it searches and scans whether there are any Bluetooth terminals that can be connected in the vicinity (S120).
[0089] After scanning Bluetooth in step S120, pair the IV device with the ID set to establish communication (S120 to S130).
[0090] When communication is connected in step S140 (S140), intravenous fluid treatment information such as the number of patients treated, ID, regulator injection amount information, and syringe status information is received (S150).
[0091] In step S150, the number of livestock to be treated, livestock ID, and livestock house ID are obtained using the sap treatment information, and in step S160, the obtained sap treatment information is analyzed to calculate the sap injection speed and remaining time, etc.
[0092] At this stage, if an error occurs, i.e. an alarm occurs from the alarm unit, the error is checked to see what error occurred in the syringe and the treatment is completed (S170).
[0093] If the alarm state is maintained again despite the error handling in step S170 (S180), a warning sound is emitted through the alarm unit (176), or a vibration sound is emitted, or the display unit (173) is blinked so that the administrator can check the alarm state (S190).
[0094] That is, the status of the syringe is checked in real time and repeated.
[0095] When the alarm state is processed by repeating this process, the repeater (230) extracts and displays the injection speed, start time, remaining time, etc. using the fluid treatment information received from the regulator (100) through the BLE module (231), and also receives information on whether the syringe is detached from the syringe module (220) and displays the syringe status as normal or detached (S200).
[0096] The remaining time can be displayed by receiving the information on the injection speed and calculating the remaining amount.
[0097] After displaying the information on the fluid treatment using the application, the information update cycle of the regulator is repeated at 10-second intervals (S210), and additionally, in the setting screen, the screen is changed using the previous and next page buttons, and the user can input the ID information such as the regulator and syringe needle module, the total amount of fluid injection, and the number of pigs (S220).
[0098] If there is user input in step S220, the communication connection is disconnected and then reconnected, and on / off is performed so that information can be updated on the previous and next pages as well (S230).
[0099] As described above, this invention uses a smart regulator to recognize the injection needle using a photo sensor value that exactly matches the markings on the IV syringe and an electrostatic touch sensor in the syringe module, so that the injection speed and remaining amount of the IV injection can be remotely recognized, and thus the injection and replacement of the IV injection amount can be performed accurately, and since the information on the attachment and detachment status of the IV syringe can be checked in real time, it is expected to have a great economic and industrial effect of preventing abnormal accidents in advance and establishing a safe, efficient, and economical livestock management system for farms.
[0100] According to the ICT smart regulator having a photo sensor drip container of the present invention, the injection speed measuring device of the fluid injection amount can be remotely recognized, so that accurate information for injection and replacement of the fluid amount can be received.
