Description

  The present invention relates to a lightweight and strong portable insulin case made of plastic that can collectively store insulin administration kits. Furthermore, it can be customized by the tray structure in accordance with the types and configurations of insulin injections, blood collection devices, blood glucose level measurement devices, and garbage generated during insulin administration can be separated and carried as general waste, medical waste, etc. A portable insulin case that can be used.

  A diabetic patient needs to adjust blood glucose level by regularly administering an insulin preparation with a syringe or the like. Many people with diabetes are also active at the forefront of society, and they are not staying at home, so it is necessary to administer insulin preparations on the go. Always carry a complete dosing kit. Insulin preparation kit includes items such as insulin preparation cartridge, blood glucose measuring device, dedicated sensor for blood glucose measuring device, fountain pen type syringe, injection needle, blood collecting device, sensor case (containing blood collecting needle, sensor, etc.), disinfection In addition to cotton, there are notebooks for recording the time of administration, blood glucose level, and the like. Furthermore, a space for storing medical waste (such as an injection needle) and ordinary waste is also required.

  There are various types of insulin preparations, such as a type that is injected immediately before a meal, a type that is injected 30 minutes before a meal, and a type that is injected after waking up or before going to bed. This is because the blood glucose level changes every moment, and it is necessary to adopt an optimal method that takes advantage of the action of the insulin preparation in accordance with the change. That is, it can be said that the timing of administration of the insulin preparation administered by the diabetic patient is very important in order to match the change in blood glucose level of the diabetic patient and the effect of administration of the insulin preparation. That is, it can be said that it is important that many items can be stored in an organized manner without making a mistake in administration timing, and can be stored so as to be easy to use even during work.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a pouch that allows diabetic patients to carry various items necessary for insulin administration into one small piece, and that each item can be fixed and stored inside so as not to fall apart. The back is disclosed. The pouch bag can be closed or opened as a whole, and the storage unit itself can be replaced.If there is a change in the items to be put in, the arrangement of the storage unit itself can be changed. Easy to administer insulin. In addition, the pouch bag is in a state where the inside cannot be seen when it is closed, and when it is open, it is flat, and the entire inside can be looked over. In addition, it is difficult for others to see the contents from outside.

  The pouch bag according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-228650 is certainly gathered into a small one so that various items can be carried, and each item can be fixed and stored so as not to fall apart. However, when administering insulin on the go, the insulin administration work is usually performed in a toilet that is not visible to the public, but it cannot be said that workability in such a small place is considered. However, it cannot cope with the danger that the components of the insulin preparation are denatured due to temperature changes and the effect is not obtained, such as in the severe winter season when it is below freezing or in the car. Furthermore, it is not possible to cope with cracks in the syringe or leakage of the insulin preparation due to the impact of force majeure during the insulin administration work.

  An object of the present invention is that a kit for administering an insulin preparation can be accommodated in a compact manner, and is excellent in portability for a diabetic patient who must administer insulin on a daily basis, and is easy to use even during insulin administration work. It is to provide a good plastic portable insulin case.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention described in claim 1 is a portable insulin case that can collectively store an insulin administration kit, and includes a plastic main body case and a replaceable inner tray. In the main body case, the lid portion and the main body portion are connected by a hinge structure, and the inner tray is provided with a plurality of storage recesses adapted to the shape of the stored item of the insulin administration kit, A plurality of hook-shaped fasteners are provided on the inner side of the lid portion so that the stored items do not fall even when the lid portion is opened, and the main body portion is divided. A storage space is provided.

  The invention described in claim 2 is the portable insulin case according to the invention described in claim 1, wherein the inner tray is lower than the depth of the main body case and has a through-hole. It is characterized by.

  The invention described in claim 3 is the invention described in claim 1 or 2, wherein the length of the storage recess for storing the syringe of the inner tray is the same as that of the syringe with the injection needle removed. It has a length that can be stored.

  The portable insulin case according to claim 1 includes an inner tray replaceable with a plastic main body case. In the main body case, the lid and the main body are connected by a hinge structure. The inner tray has a plurality of storage recesses that match the shape of the items to be stored in the insulin administration kit, so insulin such as blood glucose level measuring device, fountain pen type syringe, sampling device, sensor case, disinfecting cotton, notebook, etc. Various items of the administration kit can be organized and stored. And since there are multiple hook-shaped fasteners on the inside of the lid so that the stored items will not fall even when the lid is open, recording and measuring insulin intake time A notebook for recording the blood glucose level can be stored. Furthermore, since the main body is provided with a separate storage space, it is possible to store waste generated during insulin administration. Moreover, medical trash and regular trash can be separated and carried.

  In the portable insulin case according to claim 2, the inner tray has a height lower than the depth of the main body case and includes a through portion. For example, when the shape of the penetrating part is circular, if a cylindrical sensor case (containing a blood collection needle, sensor, etc.) is inserted through the penetrating part, the inner tray itself can be slid up and down. Become. If it is hot in summer in the space generated by sliding the inner tray up and down, the inner tray can be moved down to put the cold insulation into the space generated in the upper part. On the other hand, when it is cold in winter (below freezing point), the inner tray can be moved upward to put the heat insulating material in the space generated in the lower part. Insulin preparations denature at high temperatures (from 37 ° C. to 40 ° C.), failing to provide the expected effects, and are dangerous for diabetics. Therefore, for example, when carrying around for a long time, such as a trip in summer, it is possible to prevent a high temperature from being added by adding a cooling agent or the like. On the other hand, even when the outdoor temperature is below freezing in the severe winter season, it is possible to prevent denaturation due to freezing by placing a heat insulating material in the space formed in the lower part.

  In the portable insulin case according to claim 3, since the length of the storage recess for storing the syringe of the inner tray is a length that can store the syringe with the syringe needle removed, the syringe needle is removed. Since it cannot be stored unless it is in a state, the once used injection needle will not be used again by mistake. As a result, generation of bubbles inside the cartridge can be suppressed, insulin leakage can be prevented, and contamination inside the cartridge can be prevented.

<Structure of portable insulin case>
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a portable insulin case 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a portable insulin case 1 according to the present invention.

  The portable insulin case 1 is a blood glucose level measuring instrument, syringe, sampler, sensor case (cylindrical shape: like a film case) that is necessary for a diabetic patient to administer an insulin preparation according to various scenes of daily life. A simple form), disinfecting cotton, a notebook (for example, an insulin administration kit) for recording measurement values (dose of blood sugar level) and administration status (ie, insulin administration kit). Such a portable insulin case 1 is considered so as to have good workability, portability, case strength and the like when actually injecting an insulin preparation and hitting an insulin injection. As a material of the portable insulin case 1, hard plastic or the like (specific gravity 1 to 1.3) is adopted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a portable insulin case 1 according to the present invention is a portable insulin case 1 that can accommodate and store an insulin administration kit, and includes an inner tray 3 that can be replaced with a plastic main body case 2. ing. The inner tray 3 according to the present invention is characterized in that it can be replaced. As described in FIG. 1, the inner tray 3 can be replaced as appropriate according to the shape and size of the items of the insulin administration kit. .

  The main body case 2 has a lid portion 4 and a main body portion 5 connected by a hinge structure, and the inner tray 3 is provided with a plurality of storage recesses 6 that match the shape of the object to be stored (insulin administration kit). . A plurality of hook-shaped fasteners 7 are provided on the inner side of the lid part 4 so that the object to be stored does not fall even when the lid part 4 is opened and is standing substantially perpendicular to the main body case 2. Further, the main body 5 is provided with a partitioned storage space 8.

  The inner tray 3 is lower than the depth of the main body case 2 and includes a through-hole 9 (in FIG. 1, a cylindrical sensor case is installed through the through-hole 9). . In the present embodiment, the shape of the penetrating portion 9 is circular, but can be various shapes other than circular. Furthermore, the length of the storage recess 6 for storing the syringe of the inner tray 3 is a length that can be stored just when the syringe is detached from the injection needle.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the portable insulin case 1 according to the present invention as viewed from above the storage space 8. A diabetic patient must ensure that a prescribed amount and type of insulin preparation is administered at a fixed time, even if the person is busy in daily life. For diabetics, it is life-threatening and can be said to be the most important issue. For this reason, the portable insulin case 1 is devised in various ways.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the medicine storage space installed in a part of the storage space 8 of the portable insulin case 1 is divided every day and every hour such as morning, noon, night ( (See enlarged view in FIG. 2). In other words, in order to understand the state of insulin preparation administration at a glance (in short, for administration of medication date and time), the amount and type of insulin preparation determined at a predetermined time in the morning, noon, and night for a week Drugs and the like necessary for administration can be stored separately for each day and for each time such as morning, noon, and night. In addition, the reason for being set as a weekly unit is that a normal person often makes a break in a weekly unit, and often organizes the progress of things and formulates a plan in a weekly unit. is there. The storage space 8 is provided with a partition so that medical waste (used injection needles, sensors, etc.) can be sorted and stored as described in the enlarged view of FIG. 2 (separation space for medical waste).

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the movement of the inner tray 3. One of the features of the portable insulin case 1 is that the height of the inner tray 3 is lower than the depth of the main body case 2, and the penetrating portion 9 is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, after the inner tray 3 is installed in the main body case 2, a cylindrical sensor case or the like is installed in the through portion 9. Then, the inner tray 3 can be moved up and down via a sensor case or the like installed in the penetrating part 9. In short, the main body case 2 can be slid up and down.

<Effect of portable insulin case>
The portable insulin case 1 includes an inner tray 3 that can be replaced with a plastic main body case 2. The main body case 2 has a lid portion 4 and a main body portion 5 connected by a hinge structure, and the inner tray 3 is provided with a plurality of storage recesses 6 adapted to the shape of the stored item of the insulin administration kit. Various items of insulin administration kits such as blood glucose level measuring device, fountain pen type syringe, collection device, sensor case, disinfecting cotton, notebook, etc. can be organized and stored. The inner tray 3 can be appropriately replaced in accordance with the shape and size of the insulin administration kit item. Therefore, it can be freely customized according to personal preferences for syringes, blood collection devices and the like.

  A plurality of hook-shaped fasteners 7 are installed on the inner side of the lid 4 so as to prevent the stored items from falling even when the lid 4 is opened as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to store a notebook for recording insulin administration time, measuring blood glucose level, and the like. Further, the main body 5 is provided with a separated storage space 8, so that dust generated during insulin administration can be stored. Moreover, medical trash and regular trash can be separated and carried.

  The inner tray 3 is lower than the depth of the main body case 2 and includes a through portion 9. For example, when the shape of the penetrating part 9 is circular, if a cylindrical sensor case (containing a blood collection needle, a sensor, etc.) is installed through the penetrating part 9, the inner tray 3 itself can be slid up and down. become able to. If the summer tray is hot in a space generated by sliding the inner tray 3 up and down, the inner tray 3 can be moved downward to put a coolant in the space generated at the top.

  On the other hand, when it is cold in winter (below freezing point), the inner tray 3 can be moved upward to put the heat insulating material in the space generated in the lower part. Insulin preparations denature at high temperatures (from 37 ° C. to 40 ° C.), failing to provide the expected effects, and are dangerous for diabetics. Therefore, for example, when carrying around for a long time, such as a trip in the summer, it is possible to prevent a high temperature from being added by adding a cooling agent or the like. On the other hand, even when the outdoor temperature is below freezing in the severe winter season, it is possible to prevent denaturation due to freezing by placing a heat insulating material in the space formed in the lower part.

  In short, it is said that the quality of insulin preparations is likely to change when the temperature is about 37 ° C. to 40 ° C. When diabetics have to take the insulin administration kit outdoors or in a closed car. When it must be stored, it is necessary to devise a storage method. In the case of the portable insulin case 1, the inner tray 3 can be moved downward, the frozen cold insulating material can be wrapped in a towel in the space generated at that time, and the insulin preparation can be stored in the cold bag. In such a method, the portable insulin case 1 is designed so that it can be stored within 30 ° C. for about 8 hours when 350 g of a frozen material is used.

  On the other hand, if the insulin preparation freezes, the insulin cartridge may be damaged, and floating substances may be formed. This is dangerous for diabetic patients because the components of insulin are denatured and the expected effect cannot be obtained. is there. In the case of the portable insulin case 1, the inner tray 3 is moved upward, and the space generated at that time is placed, for example, a disposable body warmer that does not drop below freezing so as not to drop below freezing. Can be kept warm.

  The length of the storage recess 6 for storing the syringe of the inner tray 3 is a length that can store the syringe with the syringe needle removed (that is, a length that cannot store the syringe with the syringe needle attached). Therefore, it cannot be stored unless the injection needle is removed (the injection needle is stored in the medical garbage storage space 8 for each administration). Therefore, the injection needle once used is not used again by mistake. By properly storing with the injection needle removed, it is possible to suppress the generation of air bubbles inside the cartridge containing the insulin preparation, prevent insulin leakage from the injection needle, and consequently prevent contamination inside the cartridge. .

  In addition, the portable insulin case 1 is a plastic strong case that can collectively store insulin preparation administration kits. By replacing the inner tray 3, the types and configurations of insulin injections, blood collection devices, and pedigree measurement devices can be changed. In addition, it can be customized by the structure of the inner tray 3.

  The medicine storage space installed in a part of the storage space 8 is divided every day and every hour such as morning, noon, and night (refer to the enlarged view of FIG. 2), and the state of insulin preparation administration can be seen at a glance. For the purpose of understanding (in short, for administration of medication date and time), the medicines, etc. required to administer the prescribed amount and type of insulin preparation at a predetermined time in the morning, noon, and night for a week In addition, it can be stored separately by time such as morning, noon, and night. And the storage space 8 can separate and carry the medical garbage at the time of insulin administration. In addition, it is a portable case with syringes, blood collection devices, and measuring instruments set to B5 size, which is made of plastic and can be made durable and lightweight. It also houses exchange needles, notebooks, disinfectant, and head. It can be stored in units of one week's use so that it is easy to use in consideration of organizing and organizing.

  In addition, the portable insulin case 1 is of course supported by diabetics themselves, as well as being devised in various ways as described above. For example, even when a person is first paid at a hospital or the like, it is easy to manage for a diabetic patient or a nurse.

<Change example of portable insulin case>
The portable insulin case according to the present invention is not limited to the aspect of each embodiment described above, and the main body case, the inner tray, the lid portion, the main body portion, the storage recess, the hook-shaped fastener, the storage space, and the penetration The configuration of the units and the like can be changed as necessary within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, a hand-held “handle” can be installed in a portable insulin case, or a belt that can be hung from the shoulder can be installed instead of the hand-held “handle”.

  Since the portable insulin case according to the present invention has excellent effects as described above, it is necessary for a diabetic patient to adjust blood sugar level by regularly administering an insulin preparation with a syringe or the like. Can be suitably used as a portable case for carrying together a large amount of insulin administration kit.
