Beispielsweise gibt es Systeme, die als relevanten Blutparameter den Glukosewert des Blutes über- wachen, um nach erfolgter Berechnung eines Insulinwertes eine entsprechende Insulinmenge als Medikament dem Patienten in Reaktion auf den ermittelten Glukosewert zuzuführen. Systems for collecting blood and for monitoring at least one blood parameter of the blood from a predetermined patient are known in many ways. For example, there are systems which monitor the glucose value of the blood as relevant blood parameters in order to supply a corresponding amount of insulin as a medicament to the patient in response to the determined glucose value after calculation of an insulin value.
Herkömmlicherweise werden Patienten, insbesondere auf der Intensivstation, mit Medikamenten und gegebenenfalls künstlicher Nahrung mittels einer oder mehrerer Zuführeinrich- tungen, beispielsweise intravenös oder mittels Magensonde, versorgt. Beispielsweise kann die Zuführeinrichtung eine Insulinzuführeinrichtung bzw. eine Infusionspumpe sein, die den innerhalb des Blutkreislaufes des Patienten vorhandenen Insulinwert auf ein vorbestimmba- res Niveau in Reaktion auf einen zuvor gemessenen Blutglukosewert im Blutkreislauf des Patienten hält. Ebenso können Zuführeinrichtungen für mindestens einen Nahrungswert einer mit mindestens einer Nahrungszuführeinrichtung im Blutkreislauf direkt oder indirekt zugeführten Nahrung dem Patienten verabreicht werden. Conventionally, patients, in particular in the intensive care unit, are supplied with medicaments and possibly artificial food by means of one or more delivery devices, for example intravenously or by means of a stomach tube. For example, the delivery device may be an insulin delivery device or an infusion pump which adjusts the insulin value present within the bloodstream of the patient to a predefined value. res in response to a previously measured blood glucose level in the patient's bloodstream. Likewise, feeding devices for at least one nutritional value of a food directly or indirectly supplied with at least one food supply device in the bloodstream can be administered to the patient.
Sämtliche derartige Zuführeinrichtungen, auch wenn sie in ein System zur Verabreichung von Medikamenten und/oder Nahrungswerten integriert sind, erfordern bisher die durch einen Arzt oder ein weiteres klinisches Personal zu erfolgender Eingabe von Werten, die der Zuführung mittels der Zuführungseinrichtung zugrunde liegen. Beispielsweise können hier Mengenwerte, Zeitabstände, in welchen die Zuführung erfolgen soll, intervallartige Zuführung etc. als Basis für die anschließend zu erfolgende Zuführung von beispielsweise Insulin eingegeben werden. All such delivery devices, even when incorporated into a drug and / or nutritional delivery system, heretofore require the entry of values by a physician or other clinician based on delivery by the delivery device. For example, quantity values, time intervals in which the supply should take place, interval-type delivery, etc., can be entered as the basis for the subsequent delivery of, for example, insulin.
Dieser Zuführung vorausgehend ist eine von Hand durchgeführte Blutentnahme bei dem Patienten, welche die Zwischenschaltung von klinischem Personal erfordert. Ebenso ist weiteres klinisches Personal erforderlich, welches die notwendigen Fachkenntnisse zu den Eingabefunktionen der Zuführeinrichtung, wie der Infusionspumpe, hat, um anschließend diese Zuführung durchzuführen. Eine derartige Entnahme von Blut durch das klinische Personal weist den Nachteil auf, dass entnommene Blutproben verwechselt werden können. Dies be- deutet, dass falsche Blutproben den jeweiligen Patienten zugeordnet werden, wobei zu berücksichtigen ist, dass Blutanalyseeinrichtungen häufig für eine große Anzahl von Blutproben verschiedenster Patienten gemeinsam verwendet werden. This delivery is preceded by a hand-drawn blood sample in the patient, which requires the interposition of clinical personnel. Likewise, additional clinical personnel are required who have the necessary expertise in the input functions of the delivery device, such as the infusion pump, to subsequently perform this delivery. Such removal of blood by the clinical staff has the disadvantage that taken blood samples can be confused. This means that wrong blood samples are assigned to the respective patient, bearing in mind that blood analyzers are commonly used together for a large number of blood samples from a wide variety of patients.
Demzufolge liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein System und ein Ver- fahren zur Überwachung von mindestens einem Blutparameter des Blutes von einem vorbestimmten Patienten zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei denen ein hoher Automatisierungsgrad und eine Vermeidung von Fehlern bedingt durch das klinische Personal vorliegt. Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a system and a method for monitoring at least one blood parameter of the blood from a predetermined patient, in which there is a high degree of automation and avoidance of errors due to the clinical staff.
Diese Aufgabe wird systemseitig durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 und verfahrenseitig durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 9 gelöst. This object is achieved by the system side by the features of claim 1 and method side by the features of claim 9.
Kerngedanke der Erfindung ist, dass bei einem System zur Überwachung von mindestens einem Blutparameter des Bluts von einem vorbestimmten Patienten mit den nachfolgenden Einrichtungen eine Zugangseinrichtung zum Aufbau eines Zugangs zum Blut des Patienten durch dessen Haut; The central idea of the invention is that in a system for monitoring at least one blood parameter of the blood from a predetermined patient with the following devices access means for establishing access to the patient's blood through the skin thereof;
eine Entnahmeeinrichtung zum Entnehmen einer Blutmenge zum Erhalten einer Blutprobe;  a sampling device for taking a quantity of blood to obtain a blood sample;
eine für eine Mehrzahl an Blutproben von verschiedenen Patienten verwendbare Blutanalyseeinrichtung zum Analysieren der Blutprobe hinsichtlich vorbestimmbarer Parameter des Blutes;  a blood analyzer useful for a plurality of blood samples from different patients for analyzing the blood sample for predeterminable parameters of the blood;
eine erste Berechnungseinrichtung zum Berechnen von Medikamentenparametern eines dem Patienten zu verabreichenden Medikamentes auf Basis der ermittelten Parameter des analysierten Blutes und  a first calculation device for calculating drug parameters of a drug to be administered to the patient on the basis of the determined parameters of the analyzed blood and
eine Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen des Medikamentes mit den berechneten a feeder for supplying the medicament with the calculated
Medikamentenparametern; Medications parameters;
eine Zuordnung stattfindet, nämlich zwischen der Blutprobe, unmittelbar nach dem Entnehmen der Blutmenge und vor dem Zuführen zu der Blutanalyseeinrichtung, und mindestens einem Identifikationselement mit personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten, um ein automatisches Identifizieren durchzuführen. Hierfür wird eine Identifikationselementen- Erzeugungseinrichtung verwendet, die die Funktion hat, das Identifikationselement, welches beispielsweise ein Barcode oder ein Datamatrix-Code in zweidimensionaler oder dreidimensionaler Form, oder ein Transponder ist, zu erzeugen, um diesen anschließend auf der Entnahmeeinrichtung anzuordnen. there is an association, namely between the blood sample, immediately after the blood quantity has been withdrawn and before being supplied to the blood analyzer, and at least one personal and treatment-related data identification element to perform an automatic identification. For this purpose, an identification element generating device is used which has the function of generating the identification element, which is, for example, a barcode or a data matrix code in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form, or a transponder, in order subsequently to arrange this on the removal device.
Da Blutanalyseeinrichtungen häufig für eine Vielzahl von verschiedensten Blutproben von verschiedenen Patienten zentral verwendet werden, besteht grundsätzlich die Gefahr des Verwechselns von Blutproben bei der Übergabe von dem Ort des Entnehmens der Blutmen- ge aus dem menschlichen Körper bzw. dem Patienten zu dem Einführen bzw. Zuführen der Blutprobe in die Blutanalyseeinrichtung. Dies kann durch das erfindungsgemäße System und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren vermieden werden. Zudem ist es durch das erfindungsgemäße System und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren möglich, dass Patienten spezifische bzw. personen- und behandlungsbezogene Daten zusammen mit der Entnahmeeinrichtung, welches eine Spritze sein kann, an die Blutanalyseeinrichtung geliefert werden. Parallel können zu Vergleichszwecken Daten, die ebenso patienten- bzw. personenbezogen sind und auch behandlungsbezogene Daten darstellen können, mittels einer Ermittlungs- oder Berechnungseinrichtung, wie beispielsweise einem PC mit einer Eingabetastatur oder ein PC mit einem daran angeschlossenen Lesegerät, für einen Barcode-Scanner in die Blutanalyse- einrichtung eingegeben werden und mit den Daten des Identifikationselementes, welches beispielsweise ein Barcode ist, und mittels der Blutanalyseeinrichtung ausgelesen wird, verglichen werden. Ein derartiger Vergleich hat zur Folge, dass eine Fehlerfreiheit bei der Zuordnung des zu analysierenden Blutes zu dem jeweiligen Patienten erreicht werden kann, da eine sich anschließende Blutanalyse nur dann stattfindet, wenn die Vergleichseinheit und anschließend die Zuordnungseinheit ein Freigabesignal an die Analyseeinheit weitergeben. Dies geschieht nur dann, wenn die Vergleichseinheit übereinstimmende Daten feststellt. Because blood analyzers are often used centrally for a variety of different blood samples from different patients, there is a general risk of confusing blood samples when transferring from the site of withdrawal of the amount of blood from the human body or patient to the delivery the blood sample into the blood analyzer. This can be avoided by the system according to the invention and the method according to the invention. In addition, it is possible by the system according to the invention and the inventive method that patient specific or personal and treatment-related data together with the sampling device, which may be an injection, are delivered to the blood analysis device. In parallel, for comparison purposes, data which is also patient or personal and may also represent treatment-related data, by means of a determination or calculation device, such as a PC with an input keyboard or a PC with a reader connected thereto, for a barcode scanner in the blood analysis be input device and compared with the data of the identification element, which is for example a bar code, and is read out by means of the blood analyzer. Such a comparison has the consequence that freedom from errors in the assignment of the blood to be analyzed to the respective patient can be achieved, since a subsequent blood analysis only takes place when the comparison unit and then the allocation unit pass an enable signal to the analysis unit. This happens only if the comparison unit finds matching data.
Vorteilhaft kann eine derartige Ermittlung bzw. ein derartiges Einlesen der personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten mittels eines Barcode-Scanners geschehen, der das Armband eines Patienten, welches einen derartigen Barcode aufweist, abscannt und den Barcode einliest. Der eingelesene Barcode wird dann anschließend mittels einer Druckeinrich- tung bzw. der Identifikationselementen-Erzeugungseinrichtung ausgedruckt und auf der Spritze oder am anderen Behältnis angebracht. Such a determination or reading of the personal and treatment-related data can advantageously take place by means of a barcode scanner, which scans the bracelet of a patient who has such a barcode and reads in the barcode. The scanned barcode is then subsequently printed out by means of a printing device or the identification element generating device and mounted on the syringe or on the other container.
Die Anbringung findet besonders bevorzugt auf dem Blutaufnahmebehälter der Spritze außenseitig mittels einer Klebefläche oder einem damit verbundenen Blutaufnahmebehälter statt. The attachment particularly preferably takes place on the blood receptacle of the syringe on the outside by means of an adhesive surface or a blood receptacle connected thereto.
Zugleich wird der eingelesene Barcode mittels einer zweiten Berechnungseinrichtung als personen- und behandlungsbezogene Daten umgewandelt und entsprechend ermittelt, um diese Daten anschließend an die Blutanalyseeinrichtung zu Vergleichszwecken weiterzuge- ben. Wie bereits erwähnt, handelt es sich bei den in der zweiten Berechnungseinrichtung eingegangenen Daten um die gescannten Daten eines weiteren Identifikationselementes oder die mittels einer Tastatur eingegebenen Daten zu der Person und der Behandlung des Patienten. Vorteilhaft sind die personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten auf dem Identifikationselement verschlüsselt. Die Daten können Angaben zum vorbestimmbaren Zeitpunkt der zu erfolgenden Blutentnahme, zum Namen des Patienten und des Medikamentes, zu der zu verabreichenden Medikamentendosis und dergleichen Daten enthalten. Die zu ermittelnden Blutparameter des zu analysierenden Blutes hingegen können At the same time, the read-in barcode is converted by means of a second calculation device as personal and treatment-related data and determined accordingly in order subsequently to pass on this data to the blood analysis device for comparison purposes. As already mentioned, the data received in the second calculation device are the scanned data of another identification element or the data entered by means of a keyboard for the person and the treatment of the patient. Advantageously, the personal and treatment-related data are encrypted on the identification element. The data may include information at the predeterminable time of the blood sample to be taken, the name of the patient and the drug, the dose of medicament to be administered, and the like data. On the other hand, the blood parameters to be determined for the blood to be analyzed can
Glukosewerte, pH-Werte, Gerinnungsfaktoren des Blutes und weitere Blutgasdaten, wie beispielsweise C02-Werte, P02-Werte, Kaliumwerte, Bicarbonat-Werte, Glucose levels, pH values, coagulation factors of the blood and other blood gas data, such as C0 2 values, P0 2 values, potassium values, bicarbonate values,
Basenabweichungswerte und dergleichen enthalten. Base deviation values and the like.
Außerdem ist aufgrund der Verschlüsselung der auf oder in dem Identifikationselement enthaltenen Daten ein gegen unbefugtes Auslesen sicherer Transport der Blutproben und auch das sichere Herumtragen des Identifikationselementes, welches an dem Patienten angebracht ist, möglich. In addition, due to the encryption of the data contained on or in the identification element, a secure transport of the blood samples against unauthorized reading and also the safe carrying around of the identification element which is attached to the patient is possible.
Weitere Daten, die auf oder in dem Identifikationsmerkmal enthalten sein können, welches auf der Blutprobe angebracht wird, bzw. auf der Spritze angebracht wird, können Angaben zu der Uhrzeit der Blutentnahme, zu dem Datum der Blutentnahme, zu der Sommer- oder Winterzeit und dergleichen sein. Ebenso können Daten zur Art des Blutes mit in das Identifi- kationselement der Blutprobe eingebracht werden. Hierdurch werden umfassend sämtliche Daten an die Blutanalyseeinrichtung weitergegeben, wobei Daten, wie Angaben zu der Uhrzeit, dem Datum und der Sommer- oder Winterzeit, auch mittels der zweiten Berechnungseinrichtung bei Eingang der personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten erzeugt und an die Blutanalyseeinrichtung weitergegeben werden können. Other data that may be included on or in the identifier attached to the blood sample or attached to the syringe may include blood collection time, blood collection date, summer or winter time, and the like be. Likewise, data on the type of blood can be introduced into the identification element of the blood sample. As a result, all the data are passed on to the blood analysis device comprehensively, with data such as information about the time of day, the date and the summer or winter time also being able to be generated by means of the second calculation device on receipt of the personal and treatment-related data and forwarded to the blood analysis device.
Die Blutanalyseeinrichtung ist mit der ersten Berechnungseinrichtung und diese mit der Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen des Medikamentes derart verbunden, dass ein Datentransfer stattfinden kann. Dies kann sowohl drahtgebunden als auch drahtlos geschehen. Somit können die verschiedenen Einrichtungen an verschiedenen Orten angeordnet sein und es wird ein hoher Grad an Automatisierung bei der automatischen Verabreichung von Medikamenten, selbst bei Patienten, die sich auf der Intensivstation befinden, auf Basis von Messwerten und patienteninduzierten Parametern erhalten. The blood analysis device is connected to the first calculation device and this with the supply device for supplying the drug such that a data transfer can take place. This can be done both wired and wireless. Thus, the various devices may be located at different locations, and a high degree of automation in the automatic delivery of medication, even in ICU patients, will be obtained based on measurements and patient-induced parameters.
Vorteilhaft ist bei einem Verfahren zur Überwachung von mindestens einem Blutparameter des Blutes von einem vorbestimmten Patienten und zur Verabreichung eines Medikamentes an dem Patienten folgende Schrittabfolge erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, wobei es sich bei dem zu bestimmenden Blutparameter um Glukose und bei dem zu verabreichenden Medikament um Insulin handeln kann und die Zufuhreinrichtung eine Insulinpumpe sein kann: - Aufbauen eines Zugangs zum Blut des Patienten durch dessen Haut mittels der Zugangseinrichtung; Advantageously, in a method for monitoring at least one blood parameter of the blood from a predetermined patient and administering a drug to the patient, the following sequence of steps is provided, wherein the blood parameter to be determined may be glucose and the drug to be administered may be insulin and the delivery means may be an insulin pump: - establishing access to the patient's blood through the skin thereof by means of the access device;

Die Blutprobe wird unmittelbar nach dem Entnehmen der Blutmenge und vor dem Zuführen von der Blutanalyseeinrichtung mittels einer Identifikationselementen-Erzeugungseinrichtung mindestens einem Identifikationselement mit personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten zugeordnet, um ein automatisiertes Identifizieren zu erhalten. The blood sample is assigned to at least one identification element with personal and treatment-related data immediately after removal of the blood quantity and before delivery from the blood analysis device by means of an identification element generating device in order to obtain an automated identification.
Das Verfahren umfasst ebenso das Lesen von personen- und behandlungsbezogenen Daten des Identifikationselementes mittels einer Leseinheit, die vorzugsweise mit der Blutanalyseeinrichtung verbunden oder innerhalb dieser angeordnet ist, und das Zuordnen der ausgelesenen Daten zu dem zu analysierenden Blut innerhalb der Blutanalyseeinrichtung mittels einer Zuordnungseinheit. Weitere Vorteile und Zweckmäßigkeiten ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. Hierbei zeigen: The method also comprises reading personal and treatment-related data of the identification element by means of a reading unit, which is preferably connected to or arranged within the blood analysis device, and associating the read-out data with the blood to be analyzed within the blood analysis device by means of an allocation unit. Further advantages and expediencies will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings. Hereby show:
Fig. 1 in einer schematischen Darstellung das System und seine Funktionsweise in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung; Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the system and its operation in an embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2a und 2b ein Flussdiagramm, welches das Verfahren gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeigt. In Fig. 1 ist in einer schematischen Darstellung das erfindungsgemäße System gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wiedergegeben. Dieser Darstellung ist zu entnehmen, dass bei einem Patienten 1 , von dem eine Hand und ein Arm dargestellt sind, eine Nadel 2 als Zugangseinrichtung durch eine Haut dringt, um Blut zu entnehmen. FIGS. 2a and 2b are a flowchart showing the method according to an embodiment of the invention. In Fig. 1, the system of the invention according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in a schematic representation. It can be seen from this illustration that in a patient 1, of whom a hand and an arm are shown, a needle 2 as an access device penetrates through a skin in order to draw blood.
Die Blutentnahme findet zum Beispiel mittels einer Spritze 3 als Entnahmeeinrichtung in üblicher bekannter Weise statt. The blood collection takes place, for example, by means of a syringe 3 as a removal device in the usual manner known.
Mittels eines Barcode-Scanners 5, der mit einer Leseeinrichtung 6 verbunden ist, wird ein Armband 4, auf welchem ein Barcode angebracht ist, gescannt. Dieser Barcode enthält personen- und behandlungsspezifische Daten des Patienten, welcher dieses Armband trägt. Beispielsweise kann dieses den Namen des Patienten, den Namen des zu verabreichenden Medikamentes, das Alter und weitere personenspezifische Daten enthalten. Nach erfolgtem Abscannen des Barcodes an dem Armband 4 sendet die Leseeinrichtung 6 ein entsprechendes Barcodesignal an eine Berechnungseinrichtung 7, welche die Aufgabe besitzt, aus dem eingelesenen Barcode die relevanten personen- und behandlungsspezifischen Daten, wozu auch der Zeitpunkt der Blutentnahme gehört, zu ermitteln und diese Daten an eine Identifikationselement-Erzeugungseinrichtung 9, die ein Barcode-Drucker dar- stellen kann, weiterzusenden. Dieser Drucker 9 druckt einen Barcode mit den personen- und behandlungsspezifischen Daten aus und dieser Barcode wird beispielsweise in Form eines Barcodeetiketts 10 auf den Blutprobenaufnahmebehälter der Spritze 3 aufgeklebt. By means of a barcode scanner 5, which is connected to a reading device 6, a bracelet 4, on which a barcode is mounted, is scanned. This barcode contains personal and treatment-specific data of the patient wearing this bracelet. For example, this may include the name of the patient, the name of the drug to be administered, age, and other personal information. After the barcode has been scanned on the wristband 4, the reading device 6 sends a corresponding barcode signal to a calculation device 7, which has the task of determining the relevant personal and treatment-specific data, including the time of the blood withdrawal, from the barcode read in, and this Data to an identification element generating device 9, which can represent a bar code printer, continue to send. This printer 9 prints out a barcode with the personal and treatment-specific data and this barcode is glued, for example in the form of a barcode label 10, onto the blood sample receptacle of the syringe 3.
Zugleich sendet die Berechnungseinrichtung 7 die ermittelten personenspezifischen und behandlungsspezifischen Daten an eine Vergleichseinheit 15 innerhalb einer Blutanalyseeinrichtung 12. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können mittels einer Tastatur 8 personenspezifische und behandlungsspezifische Daten in die Berechnungseinrichtung 7 eingegeben werden, um diese in den auszudruckenden Barcode mitaufzunehmen oder in der Vergleichseinheit 15 mit zu berücksichtigen. At the same time, the calculation device 7 sends the ascertained person-specific and treatment-specific data to a comparison unit 15 within a blood analysis device 12. Alternatively or additionally, person-specific and treatment-specific data can be entered into the calculation device 7 by means of a keyboard 8 in order to include these in the barcode to be printed or in the comparison unit 15 with to consider.
Nachdem die Spritze 3 mit dem darauf angebrachten Barcode 10 in eine der vorhandenen Blutaufnahmeeinrichtungen 1 1 , 1 1 a der Blutanalyseeinrichtung 12 eingesetzt worden ist, wird das in der Spritze 7 vorliegende Blut von der Blutanalyseeinrichtung 12 zu Analysezwecken aufgenommen. Zugleich findet ein Abscannen des Barcodes 10 durch einen weiteren Barcode-Scanner 13 statt, welcher mit einer Leseeinheit 14 innerhalb der Blutanalyseeinrichtung 12 verbunden ist. Die ausgelesenen Barcodedaten werden wiederum zu personenspezifische und behandlungsspezifische elektronische Daten umgewandelt und an die Vergleichseinheit 15 weitergegeben. After the syringe 3 with the barcode 10 mounted thereon has been inserted into one of the existing blood collection devices 11, 11a of the blood analyzer 12, the blood present in the syringe 7 is taken up by the blood analyzer 12 for analysis. At the same time there is a scanning of the barcode 10 by another Barcode scanner 13 instead, which is connected to a reading unit 14 within the blood analyzer 12. The read barcode data are in turn converted into person-specific and treatment-specific electronic data and forwarded to the comparison unit 15.
Innerhalb der Vergleichseinheit 15 werden nun die Daten, welche von dem Barcode-Scanner 13 an dem Barcode 10 ausgelesen wurden, mit den Daten, wie sie von der Berechnungseinrichtung 7 herrühren, miteinander verglichen. Sobald bei einem derartigen Vergleich Übereinstimmungen in den Daten festgestellt werden, findet eine Zuordnung dieser personenbe- zogenen und behandlungsbezogenen Daten zu der Blutprobe 3 statt. Dies wird von einer Zuordnungseinheit 16 durchgeführt. Within the comparison unit 15, the data which has been read out by the barcode scanner 13 at the barcode 10 are compared with the data resulting from the calculation device 7. As soon as such a comparison identifies similarities in the data, an assignment of these personal and treatment-related data to the blood sample 3 takes place. This is done by an allocation unit 16.
Nach erfolgter Zuordnung durch die Zuordnungseinheit 16 findet innerhalb einer Analyseeinheit 17 die eigentliche Analyse des zu analysierenden Blutes und anschließend die Feststel- lung eines oder mehrerer gewünschter Blutparameterwerte statt. Beispielsweise kann hierbei der Glukosewert innerhalb des entnommenen Blutes festgestellt werden, um anschließend als Medikament Insulin in der gewünschten Höhe, welches den Medikamentenparametern entspricht, zu verabreichen. Nach erfolgter Analyse innerhalb der Analyseeinheit 17 werden Daten, die die Analysemesswerte wiedergeben und beispielsweise die Höhe eines Glukosewertes beinhalten, an eine Berechnungseinrichtung 18 übertragen, die zur Aufgabe hat, mittels einer internen Datenbank und einer entsprechenden Speichereinheit das zugehörige Medikament mit einer entsprechenden Dosis zu dem Glukosewert zu ermitteln. In diesem Fall wird mittels der Berechungseinrichtung 18 eine Höhe des zu verabreichenden Insulins ermittelt. After the assignment by the allocation unit 16, the actual analysis of the blood to be analyzed and then the determination of one or more desired blood parameter values take place within an analysis unit 17. For example, in this case, the glucose value can be determined within the blood taken to then administer insulin as the drug in the desired level, which corresponds to the drug parameters. After analysis within the analysis unit 17, data representing the analysis measurement values and containing, for example, the level of a glucose value are transmitted to a calculation device 18, which has the task of using an internal database and a corresponding memory unit to add the corresponding medication to the corresponding dose To determine glucose value. In this case, a height of the insulin to be administered is determined by means of the calculation device 18.
Anschließend findet eine Übertragung von Daten, welche die Höhe des Insulinwertes und die Menge des Insulinwertes wiedergeben, an eine Zuführeinrichtung 19 statt, die in diesem Fall als Insulinpumpe ausgebildet ist. Diese Insulinpumpe 19 führt über einen Katheter 20 Insulin dem Patienten 1 in gewünschter Menge und in der gewünschten Zeit zu. Subsequently, a transfer of data representing the amount of the insulin value and the amount of the insulin value takes place to a delivery device 19, which in this case is designed as an insulin pump. This insulin pump 19 leads via a catheter 20 insulin to the patient 1 in the desired amount and in the desired time.
In Fig. 2a und 2b ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung gezeigt. Dieser Darstellung ist zu entnehmen, dass in einem Schritt 21 das Scan- nen eines Barcodes am Armband des Patienten mittels eines Barcode-Scanners und das Ermitteln von Daten mittels der zweiten Berechnungseinrichtung 7 stattfindet. In Fig. 2a and 2b, the inventive method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. From this representation it can be seen that in a step 21 the scanning NEN of a barcode on the bracelet of the patient by means of a barcode scanner and the determination of data by means of the second calculation device 7 takes place.
In einem Schritt 22 wird das Drucken eines Barcode-Labels mittels des Druckers 9 durchge- führt. Ein anschließendes Aufbringen des Barcode-Labels auf das Blutprobengefäß findet in einem Schritt 23 statt. In a step 22, the printing of a barcode label is carried out by means of the printer 9. Subsequent application of the barcode label to the blood sample vessel takes place in a step 23.
Die Blutprobe wird dann in einem Schritt 24 in eine Blutanalyseeinrichtung eingebracht, woraufhin das Barcode-Label in einem Schritt 25 von einem Barcode-Scanner der Blutanalyse- einrichtung gelesen wird. The blood sample is then introduced into a blood analysis device in a step 24, whereupon the bar code label is read in step 25 by a barcode scanner of the blood analysis device.
Nachdem in der Vergleichseinheit 15 gemäß dem Schritt 26 die Daten des Barcode-Labels und der ermittelten Daten verglichen werden, wird in einer Abfrage 27 festgestellt, ob diese identisch sind. Falls dies nicht der Fall ist, ist gemäß dem Schritt 28 keine Analyse möglich und der Vorgang ist beendet. After the data of the bar code label and the determined data are compared in the comparison unit 15 according to step 26, it is determined in a query 27 whether these are identical. If this is not the case, according to step 28, no analysis is possible and the process is finished.
Falls dies bejaht wird, findet in einem Schritt 29 und in einem Schritt 30 das Zuordnen der Daten der zu analysierenden Blutprobe und das Analysieren der Blutprobe statt. Nachdem gemäß dem Schritt 31 die ermittelten Parameter des Blutes der analysierten Blutprobe an eine erste Berechnungseinrichtung gesendet worden ist, werden in einem Schritt 32 von dieser Berechnungseinrichtung die Medikamentenparameter berechnet. Hierbei handelt es sich zum Beispiel um die Höhe und die Dauer der Verabreichung des Medikaments Insulin. If so, in step 29 and step 30, the data of the blood sample to be analyzed and the blood sample are analyzed. After, according to step 31, the determined parameters of the blood of the analyzed blood sample have been sent to a first calculation device, in a step 32 the drug parameters are calculated by this calculation device. These are, for example, the amount and duration of administration of the drug insulin.
In einem Schritt 33 wird dann auf Basis des ermittelten Medikamentparameters ein Signal an die Pumpe 19 gesendet, die in einem Schritt 34 das Medikament in der gewünschten Menge und der gewünschten Zeitspanne an den Patienten verabreicht. Sämtliche in den Anmeldungsunterlagen offenbarten Merkmale werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, sofern sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind. Bezugszeichenliste In a step 33, a signal is then sent to the pump 19 on the basis of the determined drug parameter, which in a step 34 administers the drug in the desired amount and the desired time interval to the patient. All disclosed in the application documents features are claimed as essential to the invention, provided they are new individually or in combination over the prior art. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
