Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sterile container for sterilizable medical-technical goods, with a receiving space for the medical-technical goods and a data acquisition unit for acquiring parameter data of influencing variables acting on the sterile container. It also relates to a method for monitoring such a sterile container.
  • Sterilizable medical-technical goods such as medical-technical instrument sets are usually repeatedly subjected to a usage cycle that includes sterilization, storage and use, for example in the context of an operating theater.
  • a usage cycle that includes sterilization, storage and use, for example in the context of an operating theater.
  • the actual sterilization must be monitored, i.e. it must be determined whether it was carried out successfully and how often it was sterilized.
  • transports and storage must also be monitored to ensure, for example, that no (invisible or barely visible) damage has occurred to the goods during transport and / or that temperature limits were observed at all times during the storage of temperature-critical goods.
  • Known systems and methods for monitoring / documenting sterile containers have a number of disadvantages.
  • there is no complete monitoring of complete usage cycles / sterile goods cycles i.e. that both transport, storage and sterilization are not monitored and documented by means of a system / method.
  • Another disadvantage is that there are no individual and, in particular, offline, complete data collections available on the transport, storage and sterilization of certain sterile containers or instrument sets.
  • the monitoring is not specific to the container, i.e. it is assigned to a very specific container.
  • a disadvantage associated with complete monitoring is also that no automatic detection of sterilization cycles and correct parameter curves (such as of pressure and / or temperature) is possible, and that no programmable parameter limit values or courses can be used.
  • the present invention is based on the object of reducing the mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, in particular to enable complete, safe, simple, sterile container-specific and automatic monitoring of sterile containers such as sterile containers, sieve baskets or outer packaging during entire usage cycles, i.e. automatic monitoring Monitoring of transport, storage, sterilization, etc.
  • a sterile container that is to say a sterile container for sterilizable medical-technical goods, with a receiving space for the medical-technical goods and a data acquisition unit for acquiring parameter data of influencing variables acting on the sterile container, the sterile container having an NFC module with at least one sensor for recording sterility-relevant and / or sterilization-relevant data and a data logger for recording and storing data from the sensor in a recording interval.
  • the object is also achieved by a method according to claim 10.
  • the general idea of the invention lies in the use of an NFC module for data acquisition and preferably for data transfer to readout units such as smart devices. Since the sterile container, which can in particular be a sterile container, a sieve basket or outer packaging, has the NFC module, the sterile container and the NFC module are permanently, steadily and permanently assigned. As a result, the invention can advantageously bring about a complete, sterile container-specific and automatic monitoring of sterile containers such as sterile containers, sieve baskets or outer packaging during entire usage cycles. This means that this monitoring takes place during transport as well as storage and sterilization / cleaning.
  • the sensor or the sensors of the NFC module are set up to record data / parameters relevant for sterility and / or for sterilization continuously / permanently or at certain measuring times or intervals (recording interval), in particular stimulated by the data logger. In particular, they are used to record the currently prevailing conditions to which the sterile container is exposed.
  • data / parameters are, in addition to the data / parameters available during the sterilization, also those that are available during transport and / or storage of the sterile container.
  • Such data / parameters include, for example, temperature values and / or pressure values and / or humidity values and / or pH values and / or acceleration values and / or position values.
  • the evaluation of the recorded sensor data / parameters can provide information about the environment and / or conditions to which the sterile container is / was exposed both currently and over a long period of time. The following table lists various parameters and their influence:
  • the invention encompasses various embodiments in which different numbers of different data / parameters are collected.
  • a basic variant for example, only temperature data and acceleration data can be recorded in order to be able to count sterilizations and record falls.
  • the possibility of acquiring further data can be preinstalled within the scope of the invention, but their acquisition and processing can first have to be enabled.
  • the temperatures recorded / measured within the scope of the invention to which the sterile container is exposed can on the one hand be outside temperatures, i.e. those in the vicinity of the sterile container, such as in a sterilization device, autoclave, etc.
  • temperatures inside the sterile container can be recorded / be measured.
  • the invention also includes such embodiments in which external temperatures and internal temperatures are detected / measured.
  • data / parameters can be measured either continuously or at specific intervals.
  • limit values / limit parameters for an acceleration range that demonstrably does not lead to any significant damage to the sterile container or the instruments it contains. Any deviation from such limit values / limit parameters, caused for example by a rapid rollover or a fall with high acceleration, is detected in a simple and reliable manner by the invention and signaled as possible damage.
  • limit values / limit parameters for temperature and / or humidity and / or pressure can be set which should not be exceeded or fallen below.
  • a cleaning / sterilization in a cleaning and disinfection device can be monitored in a simple and reliable manner according to the invention by recording at least the temperature.
  • Humidity and / or pressure and / or pH are additional data that can be evaluated within the scope of the invention.
  • the measured values can be compared with parameter curves for comparison. If these correspond to a specified tolerance, the process can be confirmed. After confirmation, the number of sterilizations carried out can be saved. It is a special feature of the invention that an automatic detection of cleaning and sterilization processes is possible within the framework of the monitoring of the entire usage cycle.
  • the NFC module can be set up for automatic and sterile container-specific detection of sterilization cycles carried out by means of a sterile container, by detecting a temperature acting on the sterile container with a temperature measuring device assigned to the sterile container, and the temperature measuring device the temperature at defined first time intervals recorded, after exceeding a predetermined first limit temperature recorded temperature values are stored in a memory, after falling below a predetermined second limit temperature or after expiry of a predetermined period of time after exceeding the first limit temperature the storage of recorded temperature values is set, the stored temperature values are compared with reference temperature values, whereby a Deviation of the temperature values from the reference temperature values is determined, and in the event of a deviation within A counting device and / or a display device is or are actuated after a predetermined tolerance range.
  • the first limit temperature and / or the second limit temperature can be adapted according to a need in order to cover and take into account different environmental conditions. By choosing the A range can be defined for both limit temperatures in which the
  • the NFC module can also be set up to also compare the stored temperature values with reference temperature values within the scope of the cleaning / sterilization monitoring and to determine a deviation of the temperature values from the reference temperature values. This can take place in real time continuously while the temperature is being measured or only after the temperature falls below the second temperature limit or a time limit. In particular, the recorded values can be compared with a predetermined temperature-time curve and evaluated within a tolerance range.
  • the cleaning / sterilization monitoring offers on the one hand the possibility of a kind of basic monitoring / rough monitoring and on the other hand the possibility of a sterilization monitoring / fine monitoring.
  • the temperature is recorded at the first time intervals, i.e. at time intervals determined / defined by the first time intervals.
  • the sterilization monitoring / fine monitoring the temperature is recorded at the second time intervals, that is to say at time intervals determined / defined by the second time intervals.
  • the sterile container can be monitored for an entire period between two test cycles.
  • the first time intervals can be selected to be relatively long, so that even if the temperature values recorded are stored, for example in the context of quality assurance, the recorded data volumes do not become too large with continuous monitoring over a long period of time.
  • Continuous, complete monitoring over the entire operating time and / or service life of the sterile container is possible, as it were.
  • a particularly fine monitoring of a cleaning / sterilization cycle or a possibly existing cleaning / sterilization cycle can take place.
  • the second time intervals can be selected to be relatively short, that is to say shorter than the first time intervals, so that particularly fine / fine-meshed monitoring of the sterile container is possible after the first limit temperature has been exceeded.
  • the large amounts of data resulting from fine-meshed monitoring are relatively uncritical, since fine-tuning usually only takes place over relatively short periods of time until the temperature falls below the second limit temperature and the recording of the temperature values is stopped. A particularly fine monitoring of a cleaning / sterilization process is thus possible.
  • a particular advantage is that the change from coarse monitoring to fine monitoring takes place automatically, triggered when the first limit temperature is exceeded.
  • the change from fine monitoring to coarse monitoring also takes place automatically, triggered by the temperature falling below the second limit temperature.
  • This advantageously enables the automatic detection of sterilization cycles and / or the detection of temperature profiles, a measurement at defined time intervals and a comparison with predetermined temperatures / temperature profiles.
  • the change between the measuring intervals can take place automatically.
  • a deviation of the temperature values from the reference temperature values can also be determined. If the deviation is within the predetermined tolerance range, an actual sterilization process / sterilization cycle is assumed and a counter, in particular in the form of an incrementable cycle counter, is used to document the sterilization processes carried out with the sterile container. This can advantageously bring about an automatic detection and display of sterilization cycles carried out with the sterile container.
  • the NFC module has an energy store. This energy storage unit can in particular be rechargeable by means of NFC or energy harvesting. Alternatively or additionally, the NFC module can have an energy store in the form of a battery or a rechargeable battery, in particular a high-temperature button cell.
