It is generally known to thaw frozen plasma stored in a plurality of frozen plasma bags by heating the plate and the lower melting plate and swinging the upper lid around the horizontal axis (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

JP2013-252204A

  However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, one upper melting plate is fixedly provided on the upper lid, and one lower melting plate is fixedly provided on the main body. When thawing multiple frozen bags of the same size with different heights (thicknesses) sandwiched between the lower thawing plate and different sizes, the frozen plasma bag should be thawed in a short time. When performed, the melting temperature varied widely among the frozen plasma bags. That is, even if the same size of multiple frozen plasma bags set between the upper melting plate and the lower melting plate are different in thickness, the sliding movement and displacement during melting cannot be completely suppressed, so It affected the temperature variation. In addition, when different sizes (currently 240cc and 480cc) are melted at the same time, there is still a large difference in height, causing slippage movement and displacement during melting, affecting the variation in melting temperature. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and even if there is a variation in height among a plurality of frozen plasma bags of the same size, the present invention does not destroy components or tissues of the plurality of frozen plasma bags. It is an object of the present invention to provide a frozen plasma thawing apparatus that can perform thawing accurately and easily in a short time while suppressing the adhesion of bacteria. In addition to the above-described object, the present invention can easily prevent the attachment of miscellaneous bacteria without destroying the components and tissues of a plurality of frozen plasma bags, even when simultaneously processing frozen plasma bags having different sizes. Another object of the present invention is to provide a frozen plasma thawing apparatus that can accurately perform thawing in a short time.

Each is independently supported by the upper lid or the main body so as to be movable in the vertical direction, and the one melting plate is interposed between each of the one melting plate and the upper lid or the main body. The gist is that a biasing body that biases the plate toward the other melting plate is interposed.
The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 2, wherein the one melting plate is the lower melting plate and the other melting plate is the upper melting plate. .

According to the frozen plasma thawing device of the present invention, since the upper lid and the lower melting plate are each heated, the controller is provided with a control unit that swings the upper lid around a horizontal axis after a predetermined time has elapsed. By only heating each thawing plate for a predetermined time while sandwiching the size of the frozen plasma bag, the surface side of the frozen plasma bag is melted to increase the contact area with each thawing plate. The height variation between them is fully absorbed. Then, by swinging the upper lid after the elapse of a predetermined time only for heating, the plurality of frozen plasma bags of the same size are effectively thawed while being prevented from sliding and shifting. As a result, even if there are variations in height among multiple frozen plasma bags of the same size, thawing can be performed easily in a short period of time while suppressing the attachment of miscellaneous bacteria without destroying the components and tissues of multiple frozen plasma bags. Can be carried out accurately.
In addition, when thawing the frozen plasma bags having different sizes at the same time, in addition to shaking the upper lid after elapse of a predetermined time only in the heat treatment, at least one of the upper melting plate and the lower melting plate is thawed. A plurality of plates are arranged side by side, and each of the plurality of one melting plates is independently supported by the upper lid or the main body so as to be movable in the vertical direction, and each of the plurality of one melting plates and the upper lid or A biasing body that biases one melting plate toward the other melting plate is interposed between the main body and the main body. Then, with a plurality of frozen plasma bags of different sizes sandwiched between the upper melting plate and the lower melting plate in the vertical direction, each melting plate is heated and the upper lid (ie, the upper melting plate) is moved around the horizontal axis. By oscillating, the frozen plasma stored in the plurality of frozen plasma bags is thawed. This ensures that the appropriate thaw plate of one of the thaw plates is energized, even if there are large variations in height between the multiple frozen plasma bags sandwiched between the upper and lower thaw plates. By moving up and down against the urging force of the body, large variations in height among the plurality of frozen plasma bags are absorbed, and sliding movement and deviation of the frozen plasma bags are suppressed. As a result, even if there are large variations in height among multiple frozen plasma bags of different sizes, it is easy and quick to suppress the attachment of miscellaneous bacteria without destroying the components and tissues of multiple frozen plasma bags. Defrosting can be performed accurately.
Further, when the one melting plate is the lower melting plate and the other melting plate is the upper melting plate, each of the plurality of lower melting plates is independent from each other in the vertical direction on the main body. A biasing body that biases the lower melting plate toward the upper melting plate is interposed between each of the plurality of lower melting plates and the main body.

  The controller 40 drives the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, and 35b when the start switch 22d is turned on (see steps S1 and S2 in FIG. 7). The control unit 40 (specifically, the temperature adjusting unit 41) adjusts the power supplied to the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, and 35b by the temperature controller 46 based on the detection values of the temperature sensors 36a, 36b, 37a, and 37b. Then, the temperature of the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b is adjusted to a predetermined temperature within the range of 30 ° C. to 40 ° C. (see step S3 in FIG. 7). Further, the control unit 40 (specifically, the swing command means 42) drives the motor 21 when a predetermined time T1 (for example, 5 minutes) elapses from the start of heating of the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b.

(2) Operation of the frozen plasma thawing device Next, the operation of the frozen plasma thawing device 1 having the above configuration will be described. In the open state of the upper lid 3, a plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b are placed on the recesses 31 of the lower melting plates 6a, 6b. Next, when the upper lid 3 is in a covered state, the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are sandwiched and set between the upper melting plates 5a and 5b and the lower melting plates 6a and 6b.

  Note that the variations in the heights H1 and H2 between the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b described above may occur due to the difference in the frozen state even if the frozen plasma bags have the same size.

  Next, when the start switch 22d is turned on, the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b are driven to heat the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b. Based on the detection values of the temperature sensors 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, the power supplied to the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b is adjusted so that the temperature of the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b is 30 to 40 ° C. (See steps S1 to S3 in FIG. 7). By heating the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b, thawing of the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b is accelerated, and a part of the surface of the frozen bag is thawed, so that the contact area with the melting plate is increased and the contact resistance is increased. Increases, and the variation in the heights H1 and H2 of the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b is sufficiently absorbed.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time T1 has elapsed from the start of heating of the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, and 35b, the motor 21 is driven and the upper lid 3 is swung by raising and lowering the stagnation roller 18 (see steps S4 and S5 in FIG. 7). . At this time, since the upper melting plates 5a and 5b are swung up and down like the seesaw with respect to the lower melting plates 6a and 6b, and the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are swallowed, the dissolved liquid in the bags 7a and 7b Is migrated and thawing is accelerated (see FIG. 5). Next, when a predetermined time T2 has elapsed from the start of heating of the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b, the heaters 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b and the motor 21 are stopped and the thawing process ends (step S6 in FIG. 7). To S8).

  Furthermore, when thawing the frozen plasma bags having different sizes at the same time, it is not possible to deal with only the process of swinging the upper melting plate after the elapse of the predetermined time T1 from the start of the heating. Even if there is a large variation (H1 <H2) in the height (thickness) H1, H2 between the frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b of the size, the appropriate lower melting plate 7b (7a) is the biasing body 27b (27a) The frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are properly sandwiched between the upper melting plates 5a and 5b and the lower melting plates 6a and 6b by moving up and down with respect to the main body 2 against the urging force of . The frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b of different sizes sandwiched are rapidly diffused into the upper melting plates 5a and 5b and the lower melting plates 6a and 6b, and are absorbed and defrosted. Therefore, variations in the heights H1 and H2 of the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b having different sizes are absorbed.

(3) Effect on Example In this example, in the frozen plasma thawing apparatus having the structure shown in FIG. 8A, the upper melting plates 5a and 5b and the lower melting plates 6a and 6b are heated for a predetermined time. A control unit 40 is provided that swings the upper lid 3 about the horizontal axis after T1 has elapsed. Thus, only the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, and 6b are heated for a predetermined time while the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are sandwiched, so that the surface sides of the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are melted and melted. The contact area with the plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b is increased, and variations in the heights H1, H2 between the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b are sufficiently absorbed. Then, by swinging the upper lid 3 after the elapse of a predetermined time T1 only for heating, the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are thawed while effectively preventing sliding movement and displacement. As a result, even if there is a variation in height among the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b of the same size, while suppressing the attachment of miscellaneous bacteria without destroying the components and tissues of the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b. Defrosting can be performed accurately in a short time.

  In addition, when the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b having different sizes are simultaneously thawed, the above-described processing alone is impossible. On the other hand, according to the frozen plasma thaw apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the lower thaw plates 6a and 6b are The plurality of lower melting plates 6a and 6b are supported by the main body 2 so as to be movable in the vertical direction independently of each other, and each of the lower melting plates 6a and 6b and the main body 2, biasing bodies 27 a and 27 b that bias the lower melting plates 6 a and 6 b toward the upper melting plates 5 a and 5 b are interposed. Then, with each of the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b being sandwiched vertically between the upper melting plates 5a, 5b and the lower melting plates 6a, 6b in a plurality of different sizes, By heating and swinging the upper lid 3 (that is, the upper melting plates 5a and 5b) around the horizontal axis, the frozen plasma stored in the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b is thawed. Thereby, even if there is a large variation in the heights H1 and H2 between the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b of different sizes sandwiched between the upper melting plates 5a and 5b and the lower melting plates 6a and 6b, a plurality of The appropriate upper melting plates 6a, 6b of the upper melting plates 6a, 6b move in the vertical direction against the biasing force of the biasing bodies 27a, 27b, so that a plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a, Variations in the heights H1 and H2 between 7b are absorbed, and sliding movement and displacement of the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b are suppressed. As a result, even if there are variations in the large heights H1 and H2 between the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b of different sizes, it is possible to remove miscellaneous bacteria without destroying the components and tissues of the plurality of frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b. Thawing can be performed accurately in a short time while suppressing adhesion.

  Here, each of the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b is provided with a gentle recess 31 so that the frozen plasma bags 7a and 7b do not slide and move, and the contact area is increased to speed up the thawing by heat conduction. To do. However, even if this countermeasure is taken, if the frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b are sandwiched between the melting plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b and the upper melting plates 5a, 5b are immediately shaken like a seesaw, the melting plates Even if 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b are provided with a gentle recess 31, the frozen plasma bags 7a, 7b and the thaw plates 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b are frozen so that they are point-contacted and slippery and completely move. Could not be suppressed.
