Solution Overview
Problem
Current vascular calcification treatment devices lack an effective mechanism to distinguish and manage consumables, leading to potential safety hazards from incorrect reuse and incomplete sterilization of disposable consumables.
Innovation Solution
A consumable management system with a control circuit and consumable circuit, including a processing module, first and second power supply modules, and a fusing module, to identify and prevent secondary use of disposable consumables by ensuring proper connection and disconnection states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual control and distinction of consumables is performed by operators, then operation flexibility is maintained, but safety hazards increase due to human errors in distinguishing and managing consumables
Solution Approach 1:
The consumable automatically identifies itself through the unique identifier and fusing module mechanism. The system performs self-determination of whether the consumable has been used, eliminating the need for manual distinction by operators and reducing human error-related safety hazards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates a feedback mechanism where the control circuit detects the state of the fusing module through the unique identifier and provides feedback to determine whether the consumable should be reused or discarded. This automated feedback loop ensures safe consumable management without manual intervention.
2Productivity
If consumables are reused without proper distinction mechanisms, then resource utilization increases, but patient safety is compromised due to incomplete sterilization and internal reliability issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the consumable's usage state through the unique identifier and fusing module before allowing reuse. This preliminary action prevents unsafe reuse by automatically identifying when a consumable should be discarded, thus maintaining patient safety while enabling legitimate reuse of safe consumables.
3Reliability
If a distinction mechanism for consumables is implemented, then patient safety is improved by preventing secondary use, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential function of consumable distinction into a simple unique identifier and fusing module mechanism. By separating this function from the main device, the patent achieves patient safety without significantly increasing overall device complexity, as only the consumable itself contains the additional identification components.
