Description

Field of the invention

Product device and product method, in particular for medical product cleaning and for the product logistics of medical instruments. Can also be used for products that are cleaned and stored in the home, in the laboratory and in industry.

Background of the invention

The preparation of medical products is a product process and includes in detail the following steps: 1 the product transport from the OR to the treatment center, 2 the pre- and main cleaning and drying in a cleaning machine, 3 the product care and product testing with subsequent product packaging and 4 the product sterilization and - storage. An integral part of this process is product purification. This cleaning and disinfection machines from the manufacturers Miele, Belimed, Steelco, Ken, MMM and other well-known manufacturers are used. The state of the art here includes cleaning machine trolleys (eg shelf trolleys) which are provided in particular for defined product groups. For example, for instruments from the eye, ENT or dental surgery, just to name a few. Furthermore, cleaning lines are used to increase the degree of automation of the rinsing technology. The state of the art is also flexible cleaning machine inserts as in DE 10 2008 011 743 A1 used. The machine insert described here is flexible by attaching rinsing pipes to a main channel and thereby usable for cleaning medical product channels. Recent developments also allow the removal of rotating arms and / or the removal of rinsing levels. Next are technical cleaning operations by DE 10 2013 001 874 A1 known, be used in the cleaning inserts with removable function grids for storing baskets. These functional grids also allow a divisible storage level in a cleaning machine cart. By and large, the cleaning of dishwashing products in the household goods sector is aimed at a precisely coordinated dishwashing cycle constellation. Either the items to be washed themselves (eg in the case of dishwashers) or the items to be washed are in screen baskets and are introduced, for example, in a shelf trolley. After product sorting and inspection, the products are sterilized in sterile containers or with baskets with a soft-wrap casing in steam sterilizers and then stored. The state of storage technology, in particular of medical goods z. B. storage shelves used in the storage baskets.

The products in the known treatment process have the disadvantage that they have to be repackaged several times and consuming. Despite a continuous development of the treatment processes, there is no integrated and automated process management between the product transport, the pre-cleaning, the main cleaning up to the storage of medical steep products. Human error or lack of knowledge and sloppy behavior always leads to expensive rework. The usable cleaning roads are technically vulnerable and therefore not always economical. OR related instrument preparation for larger operations is not process related.

Summary of the invention

The invention has the object to optimize the disadvantage of the known product devices in the field of product preparation with regard to a continuous usability so that a machine-independent use is possible. This is currently prevented by technical measures of the manufacturers as far as possible. The innovation should also enable the logistical use of robots, especially in medical cleaning and subsequent sterilization to storage.

In the first place, a product device for product cleaning and logistics is provided, the flexibility in particular in the loading and functionality of cleaning machines with ware z. B. improved in baskets. The preferred field of application of the innovation is the reprocessing of medical instruments of all types and sizes, including product logistics with the support of automated systems. For clarification, reprocessing and rinsing products are products that are subjected to at least one cleaning. These include baskets, racks or storage aids. These can in turn be arranged to instrument or surgical sets.

This object is achieved by a product device, in particular for product cleaning and for the product logistics of medical instruments according to claim 1 and with a product process for product purification and for product logistics according to claim 11. The following claims relate to the advantageous embodiments of the invention.

The innovation solves the task by a product device, in particular for product cleaning and for the product logistics of medical Products that is used in a cleaning machine and contains the products, characterized in that it is introduced with spaced storage levels as storage system for products as a cleaning device in a cleaning chamber or in a cleaning machine cart a cleaning machine without product storage systems to at least their media-carrying parts (such as rotating arms and / or their rinsing modules and / or main media lines) between the spaced storage levels to use at least for cleaning.

The preferably standing, independently and machine-independent usable product device for product cleaning and for product logistics may alternatively be partially or completely open on all sides. The proposed opening areas or open sides are needed for a Dreharmreinigung and lie between spaced storage levels, which are in particular storage grid or storage baskets and are arranged below a storage grid or a storage basket. These opening areas are defined as turning arm levels and may have spaced grid areas or other visible boundaries. Demarcation grids can be used after cleaning as an additional storage level.

It is intended to use the product device in particular as a product cleaning device for product purification. In addition, the device should also be usable as a sterilization device or as a transport device and thereby a continuous system for product logistics, at least as a storage system, be used. Preferably, the device is inserted or placed in a suitable storage-free cleaning machine cart or a cleaning chamber laterally or from the front (alternatively also introduce from above) or hung. Alternatively, the product device for product cleaning and logistics is stored independently standing on a receiving grid or a receiving rail or hung on hooks on the machine car. Essentially with the aim of not having to repackage the baskets, rinsing racks, items to be washed or reprocessing goods (eg sterile items) stored on the storage levels. The innovation allows a compact and tiered storage of products and thus an optimal use of space, especially if formations are available to accommodate media-carrying parts (rotating arms, flushing modules or main media lines and media connections in the cleaning machine) to save space.

The proposed independently usable and movable product devices for product cleaning and for product logistics are defined in the narrower sense as a storage system and can be used throughout the treatment process. The product device for product cleaning and for product logistics preferably has no fixed rotating arms, which does not mean that no rotating arms can be additionally installed. This limits the use and structure of the device of existing systems z. B. in dishwashers or special cleaning machines in medical technology.

The upper and / or lower storage levels or storage grids of the product device are formed, for example, by flat and / or inclined grid surfaces or grid baskets or, alternatively, can also be arranged individually (eg if required) at an angle and / or can form at least on one side exhibit. The corners of the device form L, U or tube profiles. The latter can also serve to bring in at least from below cleaning solution. Furthermore, at the corners adapter for cleaning cavities between the storage levels may be present.

Also conceivable is a combination of the lateral product device surfaces with additional gratings and / or closed surfaces. Grid surfaces are consistent for cleaning media. Closed surfaces, on the other hand, have the advantage that the cleaning solution is distributed more spatially and thus supports the cleaning performance, insofar as it can run downwards. At least laterally closed surfaces, which may also be transparent, have the further advantage that the storage of the items to be washed are already secured with the exception of the open areas during cleaning.

It may be provided that before cleaning a surface (eg., An area with a filter window) can be opened and after cleaning again with a surface z. B. is closed with a filter window and a peripheral seal at least until further processing or removal. Such a usable product device for product purification and logistics would, in conjunction with a sterile filter surface, deliver a usable sterile container and be sterilizable in a sterilizer. Again, the containing products would not be repackaged in the treatment process. It is even conceivable that ultrasonic vibrators are mounted on these surfaces in a surrounding watertight space.

For identification, the product device has, for example, in the interior, between the storage levels on which the products are located and spaced from these are preferably a defined and a clearly visible partitioned space for receiving a rotating arm. This rotating arm room without a rotary arm is freely accessible at least from one side for an external supplied rotary arm. Alternatively, it is conceivable that a Dreharmelement is used consisting of a rotary arm and at least one supply line with a connection adapter. This element can be introduced into the rotating arm of the product device (eg by hand) and removed again here. It is envisaged that in this case the adapter will couple to a suitable port in the chamber or on the machine cart for media delivery.

For reasons of space and weight as well as hygiene reasons, the product device has no additional large-scale media or main supply line. Nevertheless, additional components such as rinse modules or rotary arm devices may be employed inside the product device as a cleaning device to assist at least the cleaning process or to allow void cleaning in the planes.

The innovation is characterized in that over an open straight or shaped side without obstacles, a machine rotary arm of a machine chamber or a machine tool cart is introduced into the interior of the product device. The Dreharmraum may have for spatial delimitation lateral and circumferential connecting struts and / or a lattice plane which is at least spaced from the stored screen baskets or rinsing racks and / or the items to be cleaned, have. Preferably, the Dreharmraum is defined as a rotating arm level by a side opening window-like visible or divided. It is important that no items to be washed are allowed to protrude in this room. The Dreharmraum can be formed at least by a coarse grid to clearly define or demarcate this space. If the rotating arm space in the product device has a lower and suitable grid surface, then further products can be stored here after cleaning to the items already being washed. Thus, the storage capacity of the product device is substantially increased.

The product device has the task of facilitating the processing without repacking the containing products (baskets and / or items to be cleaned ect.) And / or to enable a hollow product cleaning. A process part in the treatment chain may provide for product pre-cleaning in ultrasonic baths or sterilization in a sterilizer. To meet these tasks meaningful, components such. As storage aids, screen baskets, inner mesh walls, mounting parts or rinsing modules (media distributor for cleaning cavity instruments) supplement the product device structure. If additional flushing distributors are introduced into the storage levels, these can be coupled to a main distributor in a cleaning chamber or a machine carriage in order to introduce the cleaning solution directly. For this purpose, the cleaning chamber or the machine carriage on the main media pipe has suitable, preferably self-closing coupling valves or coupling openings. Alternatively, only one hose line for forwarding cleaning solution can be used here. In addition, a filter cylinder or a planar surface filter can be used in the main media line, which can be removed from above or laterally.

This type of use is not possible with the known cleaning machine manufacturers, because the storage systems for products are always part of a cleaning machine car or a cleaning machine. Removable cleaning machine storage parts and rotating arms are known at 3mach, Belimed, Ken or MMM, but these are always matched to the design of the cleaning machine.

The usable for cleaning rotary arms are preferably set by a pump in motion brought cleaning solution in the washer-disinfector in rotation. It is also conceivable, however, a mechanically executed rotation by a motor. The rotary arm can also be removed together with the supply line to change the place for product devices for receiving larger and bulky items in the chamber.

The innovation makes it possible to use novel cleaning machine insert carriages or cleaning chambers in cleaning machines, which at least do not have to contain any storage systems or storage holders for items to be washed. The novel cleaning trolleys contain at least one vertically extending main media line, into which cleaning solution is supplied from below or from the side. To use the machine-independent and stand-alone product devices for cleaning and logistics of products only a suitable support in the chamber or on the cleaning cart must be present. This support is preferably a continuous or split support plane, which may also include further fluid line media connections to the product device to receive a single or multiple product devices for product purification and logistics.

Conceivable are thus divisible cleaning machine wagons, which may also have separately usable main media lines and media connections with or without an internal filter and on this the rotary arms are driven inside a cleaning chamber. The main media lines are preferably at the corners and / or positioned on one side of the cart. For cleaning, the product devices for product cleaning and for product logistics are introduced into cleaning trolleys or can be removed from them again. This embodiment improves the possibilities of using the machine chambers of cleaning machines, because the chamber is free of any rigid storage systems.

The self-supporting product devices for product cleaning and logistics are primarily storage and transport systems in a design of a frame with lattice planes, which can also accommodate bulky products by design. It is therefore possible to use the product device after cleaning without repacking the containing products for product control and product care or for sorting the products at table height.

The product device may be as large as a cleaning chamber or fill only a portion of space in the cleaning chamber. In this case, the product device is stable and lightweight and substantially free of all unimportant and heavy rinse feed parts, which improves handling and transportation. For practical reasons, the product device can be composed of independently usable components, each with a lattice plane or be collapsible and / or carry handles for carrying or storage aids for storing screen baskets or larger items to be washed (eg., Dräger ventilators ect.) Have.

The storage levels themselves may be removable or flush spreaders, adapters or other flushing aids for void products may be attached to the storage spars. Meaningful way z. B. also be provided that the individual storage levels for better removal of products as drawers (eg., Grid baskets) are executed. Alternatively, the product device may be in the form of a mesh box with side grilles and may have only one open side for internally receiving an externally supplied rotary arm of a cleaning machine cart or cleaning chamber. The open straight or shaped side, z. B. with a molding for a main media line, can be closed with an additional grid surface, whereby the internal items to be washed or baskets are secured during transport. However, the device may also preferably provide one or more media couplings from below or from the side.

Conceivable is a product device for product cleaning and for the product logistics which is closed on three sides and at the bottom has a fluid outlet valve or a closable opening. The open side has a seal with a wall that can accommodate a large sterile filter to make a sterile container. The product device can thus be designed as a closable box. Closed side surfaces have the advantage that the acting cleaning solution in the product device, which is introduced via the rotating arms into the interior of the device, higher densified inside. This in turn improves the cleaning performance and cleaning can be better standardized. In this embodiment can be dispensed with additional sterile container. Preferably, however, the inner screen baskets z. B. packed with a soft packaging vapor permeable and stored again in the product device.

An advantage of the innovation is that complex and multi-part surgical sets (several baskets) throughout the treatment process remain together and located electronic components or barcodes on the product device allow an optimized and consistent monitoring process control.

The innovation is further impressive in that the product device for product cleaning and for product logistics can be used independently as a storage and transport module and this can also be stackable, which in turn reduces the storage space on the shelf.

For stackability of the product device, this can have pluggable parts or fixed elements, whereby the product device receives a segment-like structure. Preferably, the product device can be assembled according to the Lego principle to a multi-storey storage device and produce a stand-alone storage shelf. As an alternative to stacking, the product device can be hung on a rack or in a cleaning chamber or in a machine cart. The product devices can have flat rack bottoms with spacers, but also suspendable storage baskets for soft packaging.

In order to transport bulky items to be stored safely and to store them without repacking in the product device, lattice boxes or racks with sliding holding strips are proposed. The novel retaining strips have shock-damped or resilient pins. Due to the mobility to the front and / or to the rear, these are optimally placed on bulky dishwashing surfaces. This configuration thus contributes to the storage security and the storage stability is further z. B. improved by laterally and vertically displaceable mounting rails.

The idea of the innovation is to eliminate as far as possible the known rigid storage devices in cleaning machine devices in cleaning chambers and cleaning insert cars and to use them by means of independent movable product devices that can be used throughout the processing process. As a logistics module, it is intended to use them as far as possible throughout the treatment process, ie during transport, during cleaning, sterilization, storage and during use in the surgical area. The storage levels required for this purpose in the product device can have vertically or vertically and / or vertically or laterally displaceably arranged storage levels or rails for suspending or inserting storage baskets.

In a further development of the innovation, the product device for medical treatment products can be equipped manually, but alternatively also moved by a robot arm or a roller transport system. The proposed product device for product cleaning and logistics, in particular as a storage system, substantially improves the use of robot technology and secures the rinses stored in the product devices without repackaging up to use in the operating room.

It can be provided that the product logistics is in particular support the product movement by robotic arms or by automatic and mobile rolling systems. After cleaning, the cleaning products can remain on the product device and be moved together with them. The introduced cleaning products receive a soft packaging or packaging in the form of a hard sterile container. Subsequently, the loaded product device is sterilized and z. B. stored in a high-bay warehouse. This is possible because the product device as a storage system exerts an additional protective effect and / or allows additional stacking.

In order for the innovation to be economically and standardisable, the structure is multi-part, flexible and modular. In addition, rinsing or rinsing cylinder are set as a media distributor in the product device or removably used or the structure of the device allows itself a media line z. B. via pipes at the corners. This design ensures, in particular by the replacement of the internal parts, the highest possible flexibility.

Furthermore, it is intended to use the product device process-related and as a connecting element. A product method for product purification and for product logistics is proposed, in which the product device described above is used in particular for medical product preparation, characterized in that in the first step a movable product device with storage levels loaded with treatment products and a feed device and / or robot arms is introduced into one or more cleaning machines to clean them at least outside and then to remove the product device via an executing device or robotic arms from the cleaning machine or the cleaning cart in a second step, then the containing items to be washed outside a cleaning machine for use in OP to edit and finally at least store the product device with the products or sterilize.

It is conceivable that pre-cleaning takes place in a separate ultrasonic bath before the cleaning process. Here, the product device is dipped for product purification with the containing products in the ultrasonic basin and pre-cleaned. After removal, the product device is placed on a feeder or passed through a robotic arm to a washer-disinfector as described above. Suitable delivery systems have z. B. Rolls to move the product device for product cleaning in a cleaning machine in and out. By this efficient pre-cleaning, the pre-cleaning step can be omitted in the cleaning machine. If the cleaning solution in the cleaning machine is consistently maintained at a temperature between approximately 40 and 70 ° C, the cleaning time in the washer-disinfector is significantly reduced.

It can further be provided to sterilize the product device at least with packed baskets in sterile containers or in a soft packaging in a sterilizer. Subsequently, the product devices sterilized in this way are stored in a sterile goods store or a sterile goods storage rack is produced with the devices and the sterile goods contained. The product device used here ensures a secure storage, especially if the product device itself is designed as a mesh basket or even a box.

However, it is also conceivable that in the product device, at least during the cleaning, sorted medical instruments are placed in screen baskets or on cleaning racks in order to subject them to a cleaning process. Subsequently, the so purified products are stored in large quantities in a central warehouse largely sorted and removed only after an OP request again and OR-related or according to the requirements and type of surgery to be performed in one Sieve basket assembled and then sterilized. Again, the product device improves the use of robotic systems and storage in a high-bay warehouse. This type of use significantly reduces the amount of instrumentation required for surgical use and thus also reduces instrument repairs.

If the product device for product purification and logistics spent in the OP, the sterile goods contained here (baskets with instruments or bulky items) removed and removed after surgery, the contaminated instruments back into the product device z. B. be stored on screen baskets. The subsequent transport to the central sterilization can be done secured without additional disposal container. Again, the advantage of the product device shows again.

As stated above, the product device can incorporate flushing modules to aid in the voiding of medical void products (motor handles, MIS instruments, aspirators, trocars, etc.) within the product device without repacking these instruments. The introduction of these components can be further supported by suitable fastening systems. In addition, storage aids in the bottom area of the storage level can improve the positioning of baskets in the product device, so that these z. B. can be connected to plug adapters. This together expands the possibilities of using the product device for product cleaning and for product logistics in the preparation process.

12. 12. Product device as a modular cleaning technology device for cavity products, which enables the cleaning solution supply via at least one plug-in connection adapter on the media distributor.

The preferred embodiment is a product device, which can be introduced as a cleaning device with at least two storage levels from two sides and that of left and right in a suitable machine insert car. Between the storage levels, a circumferential framing is mounted on the side, which produces a lateral window for the introduction of a rotating arm. For safety, there may be a ceiling grid in this area, so that instrument parts can not easily penetrate from below into the space free from rotating arm.

In a further embodiment, the product device as a cleaning and Sterilization device sterilizable and constructed as a storage system segmental. At least two independent product devices form the storage system and the cleaning device that can be used in a washer-disinfector. The proposed storage systems in turn are multiply stackable and may have rails over which the storage levels are mobile. After cleaning, these can in turn be put together or built into a larger storage rack. For better removal of the multi-storey storage system as a shelf unit serve the Schubebenen. These are secured against falling out and can each for z. B. be set via a bolt or a lock.

In another technically complex embodiment, the product device contains, at least in one plane, a media distribution pipe with an adapter, to which holroom instrument channels are connected directly or via a hose and thus can be flushed through in a cleaning machine. This product device can also be immersed as a grid box or as an ultrasonic device in an ultrasonic bath to allow in this bath a flushing of channels and at the same time an external cleaning. It is advantageous if the stored screen baskets or items to be cleaned are arranged ultrasonically and protected against lateral falling out. This storage unit can then be transported either by muscle power or via an automatic transport system to the washer-disinfector.

Also conceivable are product devices for product purification and logistics that contain electronic dataloggers or holders for this purpose are provided at a suitable location, so that the entire preparation process (cleaning, sterilization and transport) is documented separately and independently of the machine and monitored in terms of time. Suitable parameters for analysis are the pressures and temperatures prevailing in the process, which must be documented in chronological order.
