Description

本発明は、内視鏡を除菌および乾燥する内視鏡除菌乾燥装置およびそれを備えた内視鏡保管庫に関する。   The present invention relates to an endoscope sterilization drying apparatus for sterilizing and drying an endoscope, and an endoscope storage provided with the endoscope sterilization drying apparatus.

内視鏡を使用すると、血液、粘液、分泌液、組織片、消化物、薬剤などが付着するため、使用された内視鏡は速やかに洗浄、消毒、除菌および乾燥して次の患者が使用するまで保管する必要がある。   When an endoscope is used, blood, mucus, secretions, tissue fragments, digests, drugs, etc. will adhere to it, so the endoscope used should be promptly washed, disinfected, disinfected, and dried before the next patient. It must be stored until use.

しかし、洗浄および消毒をしても、内視鏡の内腔を除菌および乾燥させることは困難であり、この除菌および乾燥が不十分であると内腔に残存したバクテリア等が繁殖して院内感染を発症させるため、内腔まで除菌および乾燥させなければならない。   However, even after cleaning and disinfection, it is difficult to disinfect and dry the endoscope lumen. If this disinfection and drying is insufficient, bacteria remaining in the lumen will propagate. In order to develop a nosocomial infection, the lumen must be sterilized and dried.

本発明の内視鏡除菌乾燥装置を図１ないし図３に示した一実施例を用いて説明する。
この実施例の内視鏡除菌乾燥装置１は、吸気口２と吹出口３とを連通する通気路４と、通気路４内に設けられプラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを発生させるためのイオン発生手段５と、吹出口３に連結されプラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気を分岐させる分岐部６と、分岐部６の第１分岐口７に基端部が取り付けられると共に先端部が内視鏡３０の吸引チャンネル口３１に取り付けられる第１チューブ１０と、分岐部６の第２分岐口８に基端部が取り付けられると共に先端部が内視鏡３０の鉗子挿入口３２に取り付けられる第２チューブ１１と、分岐部６の第３分岐口９に基端部が取り付けられると共に先端部が内視鏡３０の送気・送水チャンネル口３３に取り付けられる第３チューブ１２と、プラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気を、通気路４、分岐部６および第１ないし第３チューブ１０，１１，１２を介して内視鏡３０の吸引チャンネル口３１、鉗子挿入口３２および送気・送水チャンネル口３３内に送風するための送風手段１３を有している。以下、各構成について順次詳述する。 The endoscope sterilization / drying apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to one embodiment shown in FIGS.
An endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1 according to this embodiment includes an air passage 4 that communicates an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 3, and an ion generator that is provided in the air passage 4 and generates positive ions and negative ions. 5, a branch part 6 that is connected to the outlet 3 and branches air containing positive ions and negative ions, a base end part is attached to the first branch port 7 of the branch part 6, and a distal end part is the endoscope 30. The first tube 10 attached to the suction channel port 31 and the second tube 11 whose proximal end portion is attached to the second branch port 8 of the branch portion 6 and whose distal end portion is attached to the forceps insertion port 32 of the endoscope 30. And a third tube 12 having a proximal end portion attached to the third branch port 9 of the branch portion 6 and a distal end portion attached to the air / water feed channel port 33 of the endoscope 30, plus ions and minus Air containing ON is supplied to the suction channel port 31, forceps insertion port 32, and air / water supply channel port of the endoscope 30 through the air passage 4, the branch portion 6 and the first to third tubes 10, 11, 12. The air blowing means 13 for blowing air into the air 33 is provided. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

吸気口２は、外気を内視鏡除菌乾燥装置１のハウジング本体１ａ内に取り込むための部位であり、図２に示すように、ハウジング本体１ａの背面側に設けられている。   The intake port 2 is a part for taking outside air into the housing body 1a of the endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1, and is provided on the back side of the housing body 1a as shown in FIG.

吹出口３は、プラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有させた空気をハウジング本体１ａから吹き出させる部位であり、図１または図２に示すように、ハウジング本体１ａの正面側の略全面に渡って設けられている。   The air outlet 3 is a part for blowing out air containing positive ions and negative ions from the housing body 1a, and is provided over substantially the entire front surface of the housing body 1a as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. ing.

通気路４は、吸気口２と吹出口３を連通する通路であり、この通気路内でプラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンが空気内に混入される。   The air passage 4 is a passage that connects the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3, and positive ions and negative ions are mixed in the air in the air passage.

イオン発生手段５は、通気路４を流通する空気内にプラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを混入させるためのものであり、図２に示すように、通気路４内に設けられている。   The ion generating means 5 is for mixing positive ions and negative ions into the air flowing through the air passage 4, and is provided in the air passage 4 as shown in FIG.

このイオン発生手段５は、針状や平面状の複数の放電電極（図示しない）を有しており、これら複数の放電電極に高電圧がそれぞれ印加されることによりプラズマ放電が生起されるように構成されている。具体的には、一の放電電極では正電圧が印加されることで、電離により発生するイオンが空気中の水分と結合してＨ＋（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｍからなる電荷によってプラスイオンが発生する。他の放電電極では負電圧が印加されることで、電離により発生するイオンが空気中の水分と結合してＯ２−（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｎからなる電荷によってマイナスイオンが発生する。なお、ｍ、ｎは任意の自然数である。 The ion generating means 5 has a plurality of needle-like or planar discharge electrodes (not shown), and plasma discharge is generated by applying a high voltage to each of the plurality of discharge electrodes. It is configured. Specifically, when a positive voltage is applied to one discharge electrode, ions generated by ionization are combined with moisture in the air, and positive ions are generated by charges composed of H + (H 2 O) m. By applying a negative voltage to the other discharge electrodes, ions generated by ionization are combined with moisture in the air, and negative ions are generated by the charge made of O 2 — (H 2 O) n. Note that m and n are arbitrary natural numbers.

そして、Ｈ＋（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｍおよびＯ２−（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｎはバクテリア等の表面に凝集しこれらを取り囲み、さらに衝突によって活性種である［・ＯＨ］（水酸基ラジカル）やＨ２Ｏ２（過酸化水素）を生成してバクテクア等を破壊分解する。このような作用により、プラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気は除菌作用を発揮する。 Then, H + (H 2 O) m and O 2 − (H 2 O) n aggregate on and surround the surface of bacteria and the like, and further, by collision, active species [.OH] (hydroxyl radical) and H 2 O 2 (hydrogen peroxide) is generated to break down and decompose bakuchia and the like. By such an action, air containing positive ions and negative ions exerts a sterilizing action.

分岐部６は、プラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気を分岐させる部位であり、図１または図２に示すように、吹出口３の上半分を覆うように連結されている。分岐部６の内部には、吹出口３と第１分岐口７、第２分岐口８および第３分岐口９とをそれぞれ連通させる分岐通路６Ａが設けられており、この実施例の分岐部６はこの分岐通路６Ａを内部に３本有した分岐ブロック６Ｂが水平方向に５つ並設され構成されている。   The branch part 6 is a part for branching air containing positive ions and negative ions, and is connected so as to cover the upper half of the air outlet 3 as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. A branch passage 6A that connects the air outlet 3 with the first branch port 7, the second branch port 8, and the third branch port 9 is provided inside the branch portion 6, and the branch portion 6 of this embodiment is provided. The five branch blocks 6B having three branch passages 6A therein are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction.

It is intended for injection.

具体的には、第１チューブ１０は、図１に示すように、基端部が、分岐部６の第１分岐口７に取り付けられると共に、図３に示すように、その先端部が除菌乾燥する内視鏡３０の吸引チャンネル口３１に取り付けられる。また、第２チューブ１１は、図１に示すように、基端部が、分岐部６の第２分岐口８に取り付けられると共に、図３に示すように、その先端部が除菌乾燥する内視鏡３０の鉗子挿入口３２に取り付けられる。さらに、第３チューブ１２は、図１に示すように、基端部が、分岐部６の第３分岐口９に取り付けられると共に、図３に示すように、その先端部が除菌乾燥する内視鏡３０の送気・送水チャンネル口３３に取り付けられる。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first tube 10 has a base end attached to the first branch port 7 of the branch portion 6, and a distal end portion thereof is sterilized as shown in FIG. 3. It is attached to the suction channel port 31 of the endoscope 30 to be dried.

It has been.

内視鏡収納空間２２の上部には、図４または図５に示すように、前述した内視鏡除菌乾燥装置１が固定されている。これにより、懸架部２３に掛架された内視鏡の内腔内にプラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気を流通させて除菌および乾燥させることができ、次の使用者が使用するまで内腔内を除菌乾燥させた状態で保管することができる。また、内視鏡除菌乾燥装置１の分岐部６は吹出口３の一部（上半分）に連結され、プラスイオンおよびマイナスイオンを含有した空気は、吹出口３の下半分から収納部２２にも流通可能に構成されているため、内視鏡の外部も確実に除菌および乾燥させると共に保管庫内部も除菌および乾燥させることができるように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 4 or 5, the endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1 described above is fixed to the upper part of the endoscope storage space 22. As a result, air containing positive ions and negative ions can be circulated in the lumen of the endoscope hung on the suspension part 23 to be sterilized and dried. The inside of the cavity can be stored in a sterilized and dried state. Moreover, the branch part 6 of the endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1 is connected to a part (upper half) of the air outlet 3, and air containing positive ions and negative ions is stored in the storage part 22 from the lower half of the air outlet 3. In addition, since the outside of the endoscope can be surely sterilized and dried, the inside of the storage can be sterilized and dried.

なお、前述した内視鏡除菌乾燥装置１およびそれを備えた内視鏡保管庫２０は、除菌促進手段としてイオン発生手段を有するものであるが、内視鏡の内腔に送風して乾燥させることにより除菌することができるため、除菌促進手段を有しないものも本発明の範疇に包含される。また、除菌促進手段はイオン発生手段に限定されるものではなく、内視鏡の内腔に流通させる空気に除菌を促進する作用を付与できる手段を備えたものは広く本発明の範疇に包含される。   The endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1 and the endoscope storage 20 provided with the endoscope sterilization drying apparatus 1 have ion generation means as sterilization promotion means. Since the bacteria can be sterilized by drying, those having no means for promoting sterilization are also included in the scope of the present invention. Further, the sterilization promoting means is not limited to the ion generating means, and those equipped with means capable of imparting the action of promoting sterilization to the air circulated in the lumen of the endoscope are widely within the scope of the present invention.
