Definitions
- the present patent application relates to a device for rinsing
- Body cavities as can be used for example in hysteroscopy, which determines the amount of flushing fluid that is introduced and discharged using flow sensors. Based on these flow measurements, it can be determined whether a relevant amount of fluid has remained in the patient.
- the hysteroscopy to be mentioned as an example is a trans vaginal mirroring of the inside of the uterus and the fallopian tubes by means of an endoscope.
- hysteroscopy is used for diagnostics, but also for surgical interventions.
- Hysteroscopy can be used, for example, to search for causes of bleeding disorders, fibroids or polyps, but also carcinomas (e.g. endometrial carcinoma or cervical carcinoma). Fibroids and polyps can also be removed, for example.
- uterine lining can also be removed for examination purposes. High-frequency electricity can be used to stop the bleeding.
- a flushing solution can consist, for example, of sodium chloride (saline solution) or sorbitol / manitol (sugar solution).
- the difference between the rinsing solution introduced and the rinsing solution discharged is determined by weighing.
- the storage bag with the rinsing solution is weighed before, during and after the treatment.
- the drained rinsing solution is in a collection container, which is also weighed before, during and after the operation.
- the difference between the incoming and outgoing solution is used to determine the amount of rinsing solution that may have remained in the patient.
- Flow measuring device is based on the fact that the inflowing or outflowing
- Liquid is passed through a vitreous body with a conical inner bore.
- a float inside the cone shows the flow velocity from which the total current is calculated.
- the accuracy of the measurement leaves something to be desired, especially if the liquid contains blood, air bubbles and / or
- ultrasonic flow sensors allows precise measurement of the amount of flushing liquid introduced and discharged as part of the hysteroscopy. As described below, the measurement accuracy can be increased by using such ultrasonic flow sensors compared to the classic weighing technology. This was particularly surprising because it was assumed that the flow sensors were sensitive to Changes in the solution, in particular the addition of tissue residues, blood, air bubbles, etc. would react. However, it has been found that the flow sensors are sufficiently accurate even under practical conditions to be able to determine the difference with sufficient precision.
- the present invention therefore relates to a medical device for
- At least one storage container with rinsing liquid at least one storage container with rinsing liquid
- Hose connection is plugged in from the outside
- ultrasonic flow sensors are connected to an evaluation unit that measures the flow rates of both ultrasonic flow sensors and displays the difference between the flow rates.
- the device according to the invention is basically constructed as follows:
- a storage container contains the necessary rinsing liquid. From the reservoir, the liquid is through a first hose connection to a medical pump, for. B. a roller pump. The outlet of the medical pump leads to the body cavity (e.g. uterus of the
- One of the hose connections is equipped with an ultrasonic flow sensor.
- the first and the second hose connection can be formed by a single hose.
- the ultrasonic flow sensor can be arranged upstream or downstream of the roller pump in the flow direction.
- a third hose connection leads out of the body cavity (eg uterus) to a second medical pump, eg another roller wheel pump.
- a vacuum pump can be connected to the collecting container, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the vacuum pump can be integrated in a roller pump or an external pump.
- the second medical pump draws fluid out of the uterus.
- the outlet of the second medical pump leads into a collecting container.
- the third or fourth hose connection is also provided with an ultrasonic flow sensor.
- the third and fourth hose connections can be formed by a single hose.
- the ultrasonic flow sensor can be arranged in the flow direction before or after the roller wheel pump.
- the ultrasonic flow sensors are connected to an evaluation unit by cable or wirelessly (eg Bluetooth ® or Wi-Fi).
- This evaluation unit determines the amount of rinsing solution introduced and the amount of rinsing solution discharged and displays the difference between the amounts.
- the absolute amounts of the flushing liquid introduced and the flushing liquid discharged can also be displayed.
- the threshold can be, for example, 2500 ml
- Hoses are plugged on.
- the sensors can be used several times, e.g. with several examinations per day without having to be sterilized in the meantime. In this case there is no risk of any contamination.
- the tubes are customary tube materials used in medical technology, especially flysteroscopy.
- the hoses used are usually designed for single use and are disposed of after use so that there is no risk of contamination.
- the two roller wheel / vacuum pumps and the evaluation unit can be accommodated in a single housing.
- a preheating of the two roller wheel / vacuum pumps and the evaluation unit can be accommodated in a single housing.
- Flushing liquid for example, can be provided by an appropriate instantaneous water heater.
- An example of such a flow temperature control device is described in WO 2018/019317 A1.
- the ultrasonic flow sensors suitable for the purpose according to the invention are known from other technical fields and are commercially available (for example Sonoflow Clamp-on Sensor from Sonotec GmbH, SonoTT Clamp-on Transducer from Em-tec GmbH, BioPro TT from Em-tec GmbH or Sonoc from CeramTec GmbH ) and therefore need no further explanation at this point. Experiments have shown that the accuracy of the measurement is significantly better than the use of the systems described at the outset, especially with
- the device according to the invention can be used in various clinical applications: in addition to the hysteroscopy shown by way of example, urological applications (for example transurethral resection of the bladder or prostate (TUR) or in uretal enucleation) are also particularly suitable.
- urological applications for example transurethral resection of the bladder or prostate (TUR) or in uretal enucleation
- the invention is illustrated schematically by way of example in FIG. 1.
- Evaluation unit 13 Cable connections from the flow sensors to the evaluation unit
- the two black triangles on the hose connections 4 and 7 show the direction of flow of the rinsing liquid.
