Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Transport von Gütern bei gleichbleibenden Temperaturen mit einem Aufbewahr-, Transport- und Schutzbehälter für leicht verderbliche Produkte und insbesondere Aufbewahr-, Transport- und Schutzbehälter für Blut- und Medizinprodukte mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a system for transporting goods at constant temperatures with a storage, Transport and protective container for perishable items Products and especially storage, transport and Protective container for blood and medical devices with the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Beim Transport und der Lagerung von Blutprodukten ist es erforderlich eine dauerhafte Kühlkette bei Temperaturen von 2 bis 6 °C, < - 20 °C und 20 bis 24 °C einzuhalten, um eine lebensnotwendige hohe Qualität der Produkte zu gewährleisten. Bei diesen Anforderungen ist es erforderlich die Produkte in temperaturkonditionierten Gefäßen zu transportieren, die sowohl mit passiver Kühlung z. B. mit Kühlakkus als auch mit aktiver Kühltechnik z. B. mit Peltierelementen ausgestattet sein können.
Solche Transportbehältnisse werden bei professionellen Bluttransporten weitgehend ohne Komplikationen eingesetzt. Eine Schwachstelle im Transportsystem ist allerdings die Umladung der Produkte. Dabei werden die Blutprodukte in nur kurzzeitig isolierende Transportbehälter umgeladen und dem Empfänger übergeben. Die Einhaltung der Kühlkette ist in diesem Fall zumeist nicht überprüfbar und die Zeiträume, in denen die vorgeschriebenen Temperaturen eingehalten werden, sind sehr kurz.When transporting and storing blood products, it is necessary to maintain a permanent cold chain at temperatures of 2 to 6 ° C, <- 20 ° C and 20 to 24 ° C in order to ensure the vital quality of the products. With these requirements, it is necessary to transport the products in temperature-conditioned vessels, which can be used with passive cooling, e.g. B. with cold packs as well as with active cooling technology z. B. can be equipped with Peltier elements.
Such transport containers are used largely without complications in professional blood transports. A weak point in the transport system, however, is the reloading of the products. The blood products are reloaded into transport containers that are only briefly insulating and handed over to the recipient. In this case, compliance with the cold chain is usually not verifiable and the periods in which the prescribed temperatures are maintained are very short.

Ein weiteres Problem stellt der hausinterne Transport in Kliniken dar. Blutprodukte, die beispielsweise den Lagerort verlassen haben und für eine Operation bereitgestellt wurden, erfahren keine Temperaturkontrolle, da Sie in einfachen Isolierbehältern transportiert werden. Wenn nun ein Blutprodukt nicht verwendet wurde, ist nicht nachvollziehbar, ob das entsprechende Temperaturintervall überschritten wurde. Damit dieses Blutprodukt aber wieder eingelagert werden kann und nicht wertlos wird, ist ein aufwendiger analytischer Test des Blutproduktes notwendig. Hinzu kommt, daß viele Transportbehältnisse für Blutprodukte keinen ausreichenden Schutz vor mechanischen Zugriffen bieten und eine Versiegelung der meisten Transportbehältnisse nicht möglich ist.Another problem is the in-house transport in Clinics represent. Blood products, for example the storage location have left and deployed for surgery have not experienced temperature control since you are in simple insulated containers can be transported. If so a blood product has not been used is not understandable whether the corresponding temperature interval was exceeded. So that this blood product again can be stored and does not become worthless is a extensive analytical test of the blood product necessary. Add to that many transport containers for blood products insufficient protection against mechanical access offer and seal most Transport containers are not possible.

Bekannt ist es, zum Bilden eines Gliedes in einer Kette von nur bei vorgeschriebenen Temperaturintervallen ihre Güteeigenschaften bewahrenden Gütern eine Isoliereinheit mit einer Isolierschicht und einen mit einer Flüssigkeit hoher spezifischer Wärme gefüllten Hohlkörper zu verwenden. Nachteilig bei diesem Stand der Technik ist es aber, daß die Flüssigkeit hoher spezifischer Wärmekapazität direkt mit der Umhüllung des Blutproduktes in Kontakt kommt und für die Einhaltung der vorgeschriebenen Temperaturintervalle nach außen nicht sichtbar ist. Hinzu kommt, daß die Wärmespeicherkapazität der Flüssigkeit nicht ausreichend effektiv sein kann.It is known to form a link in a chain of only at prescribed temperature intervals An insulation unit with goods that preserve quality properties an insulating layer and one with a liquid high specific heat filled hollow body to use. A disadvantage of this prior art is that Liquid with a high specific heat capacity directly with the Wrapping the blood product comes in contact and for that Compliance with the prescribed temperature intervals is not visible from the outside. In addition, the Insufficient heat storage capacity of the liquid can be effective.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein System zum Transport von Gütern bei gleichbleibenden Temperaturen, insbesondere zum temperierten Transport von Blut- und Medizinprodukten, zu schaffen, das einzelne oder mehrere Blutprodukte komplett mechanisch schützt und diese in einem vorgeschriebenen Temperaturintervall hält. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es zudem, am Behälter sichtbar zu machen, ob Temperaturintervalle eingehalten wurden.The object of the invention is to provide a system for transporting Goods at constant temperatures, especially for tempered transport of blood and medical devices, too create the single or multiple blood products completely mechanically protects and this in a prescribed Temperature interval holds. Another object of the invention it is also to make visible on the container whether Temperature intervals were observed.
