Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a sterile goods container and a device structure for documenting a content and a location of a sterile goods container.
- the recording of the sterile goods cycle for medical products, devices, tools and the like is based on written documentation or controls at the end of the reprocessing cycle.
- the problem with this is that it cannot be said with certainty how pre-cleaning, cleaning and disinfection, maintenance and sterilization were carried out.
- Valid data is generated by handwritten notes, but this procedure is very error-prone.
- the removal of a medical product from a sterile goods container is not recorded manually, especially by hand.
- the usage times of electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic tools cannot be documented in relation to the individual tool.
- Another problem is the lack of identification of individual instruments and tools and the recording of their lifespan.
- WO2005048 041 describes a container which is provided with an RFID element.
- the contents of the container and other relevant information are stored on this RFID element using a writing device.
- the content is manually documented by a person when the container is filled and stored on the RFID element.
- the container is equipped with an RFID reader, which reads out the RFID elements provided on the contents (instruments, tools, etc.) of the container and then writes the information to the RFID element of the container about the contents it carries/accommodates .
- sterile goods are stored and transported in holding devices provided for this purpose in sterile goods containers.
- a manually created packing list can be viewed, whereby the products are usually listed there without a serial number, which makes it impossible to track individual products.
- products can be removed from the sterile goods container during transport or storage. This can go unnoticed. However, the previously removed product is required at the latest when it is used in the operation. Completeness cannot be checked in advance without comparing the contents of the sterile goods container with a packing plan.
- the object of the disclosure is therefore to avoid or at least alleviate the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the documentation and traceability of the content and location of a sterile goods container should be improved.
- the medical sterile goods container contains a holding device that can be inserted into the sterile goods container in the form of a perforated basket or a perforated plate or a sterilization cassette designed to hold medical products.

- the holding device 14 preferably has sensors that detect which medical products are stored in the holding device 14 .
- the medical products detected by the sensors of the holding device 14 are linked in the second control unit 18 with the identifier of the second detection element 12 of the sterile goods container 2 .
- the information obtained in this way, which sterile goods container 2 contains which medical products, is communicated from the second control unit 18, preferably directly to the first control unit 28 of the storage and transport device 22 and to further second control units 18 of the holding device 14 by means of the communication module, with the Communication preferably takes place wirelessly, in particular by means of Bluetooth, by means of IEE 802.11, by means of mobile radio or the like.
- the information read out by the first control unit 28, in particular at which storage location 24 of the transport or storage device 22 the sterile goods container 2 is located is also transmitted to an external device 32, with the transmission preferably being wireless, in particular using Bluetooth, using IEE 802.11, via cellular or the like.
- the information from the at least one first control unit 28 and the at least one second control unit 18 can be called up via the external device 32 .
- the information can preferably be called up via a user interface, in particular via a web interface.
- access to this user interface is preferably encrypted in order to prevent unauthorized access.
- the user interface preferably includes a search function, in particular a search function that allows a targeted search for the storage location 24 of a sterile goods container 2 or a medical product.
- the search function also preferably allows a storage location 24 to be entered directly, so that the contents of the sterile goods container 2 stored there can be queried.
- the disclosure relates to a device structure for documenting a content and a location of a sterile goods container with a sterile goods container, a transport or storage device and a holding device that can be inserted into the sterile goods container.
- the sterile goods container is provided with at least one identification element, which can be identified by an identifier and can be read digitally, on an outside of the sterile goods container, and with at least one second identification element, which can be identified by an identifier and can be read digitally, on an inside of the sterile goods container, with the identifier of the first identification element of the sterile goods container being the identifier of the second identification element of the sterile goods container.
- the transport or storage device has at least one storage location, which is provided with at least one first reading device, which is connected to a first control unit of the transport or storage device and is provided and designed to read a first identification element.
- the holding device that can be inserted into the sterile goods container is provided with a second control unit and at least one second reading device, which is provided and designed to read a second identification element.
