As described above, the medical device that is used repeatedly is sterilized. There are multiple types of sterilization processes with different sterilization methods. Further, when sterilizing a medical device, there is an optimum sterilization type depending on the type of the medical device. In addition, the sterilizer used when sterilizing medical equipment has a sterilization type that can be used depending on the model. Conventionally, the operator specifies which sterilizer is used and which sterilization type is used for sterilizing a medical device. Therefore, since the sterilization type for the medical device is determined based on the empirical rule of the operator, there is a possibility that the sterilization type for the medical device is not sterilized.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to control the sterilization of a medical device, which can be managed so as to sterilize the medical device with the optimum sterilization type. To provide equipment and sterilization control systems.

The sterilization control device for a medical device according to the present invention includes a memory and at least one processor. The sterilization management device is a set sterilization type that is a sterilization type when sterilizing a set ID attached to an instrument set in which one or a plurality of medical instruments are put together and the instrument set corresponding to the set ID. Memorizes the equipment set information associated with. Further, the sterilization management device stores sterilizer information associated with the device ID attached to the sterilizer and the device sterilization type which is a sterilization type that can be sterilized by the sterilizer corresponding to the device ID. There is. The sterilization management device is configured to be able to execute an instrument set acquisition process, a sterilizer acquisition process, a first type acquisition process, a second type acquisition process, and a first determination process. In the instrument set acquisition process, the target set ID attached to the instrument set designated by the operator is acquired. In the sterilizer acquisition process, the target device ID attached to the sterilizer designated by the operator is acquired. In the first type acquisition process, the target set sterilization type corresponding to the target set ID is acquired from the set sterilization type based on the instrument set information. In the second type acquisition process, the target device sterilization type corresponding to the target device ID is acquired from the device sterilization type based on the sterilizer information. In the first determination process, it is determined whether or not the target set sterilization type and the target device sterilization type are the same.

According to the sterilization control device for medical devices according to the present invention, for example, an appropriate sterilization type for an instrument set is stored in the instrument set information as a set sterilization type, and a sterilization type that can be used with a sterilizer is sterilizer information as an instrument sterilization type. It is remembered in. Therefore, for example, after acquiring the target set ID of the instrument set designated by the operator, the target set sterilization type can be acquired from the set sterilization type of the instrument set information based on the instrument set information. Further, for example, after acquiring the target device ID of the sterilizer designated by the operator, the target device sterilization type can be obtained from the device sterilization type of the sterilizer information based on the sterilizer information. Here, the difference between the target set sterilization type and the target device sterilization type means that sterilization is not performed with the optimum sterilization type for the instrument set corresponding to the target set ID. Therefore, when it is determined in the first determination process that the target set sterilization type and the target device sterilization type are different, the operator can reselect the sterilizer before the sterilization process is started. Therefore, the sterilization control device can be managed so as to perform sterilization with the optimum sterilization type when performing the sterilization process on the medical device included in the device set.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sterilization management device and a sterilization management system for a medical device, which can be managed so as to perform sterilization with the optimum sterilization type when sterilizing the medical device.

Such a medical device 5 includes a plurality of components, for example, is recovered after surgery and disassembled into a plurality of components. Here, the parts constituting the medical device 5 are referred to as component parts. Further, the component may be further composed of a plurality of components, and in such a case, all of them are referred to as components.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the circulation cycle 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the medical device 5 can be used repeatedly in a predetermined circulation cycle 10. The number of repetitions in the circulation cycle 10 with respect to the medical device 5 is not particularly limited, and varies depending on the type of the medical device 5 and the types of the components constituting the medical device 5. In the present embodiment, the circulation cycle 10 is composed of an operation / examination step 11, a recovery step 12, a cleaning step 13, an assembly step 14, a sterilization step 15, and a storage step 16.

The surgery / examination step 11 is a step of performing an operation or a medical examination, which is an example of medical practice, using the medical instrument 5. In the operation / examination step 11, the medical device 5 stored in the predetermined place is taken out from the predetermined place, and the operation or the medical examination is performed using the medical device 5.

The recovery step 12 is a step performed after the surgery / examination step 11. The recovery step 12 is a step of recovering the medical device 5 used in surgery or medical examination. When the medical device 5 is composed of a plurality of components, the recovery step 12 may include a work of disassembling the medical device 5 into individual components.

The cleaning step 13 is a step performed after the recovery step 12. The cleaning step 13 is a step of cleaning the medical device 5 recovered in the recovery step 12 or individual components of the medical device 5. In the cleaning step 13, cleaning of the medical device 5 is performed using, for example, a cleaning device (not shown).

The assembly step 14 is a step performed after the cleaning step 13. The assembly step 14 is a step of assembling the components of the medical device 5 washed in the washing step 13 to complete one medical device 5. The assembly step 14 is a step of assembling the medical device 5 composed of a plurality of constituent parts. For example, in the case of the medical device 5 composed of one component or the medical device 5 not disassembled in the recovery step 12, the assembly step 14 may be omitted.

The sterilization step 15 is a step performed after the assembly step 14. The sterilization step 15 is a step of sterilizing the medical device 5 assembled in the assembly step 14. In the sterilization step 15, the medical device 5 is sterilized using the sterilizer 40 (see FIG. 1) described later. Hereinafter, the sterilization process is also simply referred to as sterilization.

The storage step 16 is a step performed after the sterilization step 15. The storage step 16 is a step of storing the sterilized medical device 5 in a predetermined place. After the storage step 16, the surgery / examination step 11 is performed.

The sterilization management system 100 according to the present embodiment is a system used in the sterilization step 15. Hereinafter, the sterilization management system 100 will be described in detail. The sterilization management system 100 is a system that manages the usage status and usage history of one or more sterilizers 40.

By the way, in a medical field such as a hospital, a patient is operated on or examined by using a plurality of medical instruments 5. In the sterilization step 15, a plurality of medical devices 5 are sterilized. Here, in the sterilization process, there are a plurality of sterilization types having different sterilization methods. The sterilization type will be described later. In addition, there are optimal sterilization types depending on the type of medical device 5. As for the sterilizer 40, there is a sterilizer type that can be used depending on the model. The operator specifies which sterilizer 40 is used and which sterilization type is used to sterilize any medical device 5. Therefore, conventionally, which sterilization type is used to sterilize an arbitrary medical device 5 has been determined by an operator's rule of thumb. As a result, the medical device 5 may not be sterilized with the optimum sterilization type.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sterilization management system 100 notifies an alert when the optimum sterilization type for the medical device 5 to be sterilized is not specified by the operator before the start of sterilization. As a result, the operator can know that the optimum sterilization type has not been specified for the medical device 5 to be sterilized by being notified of the alert before the start of sterilization.

In the present embodiment, the sterilization process in the sterilization step 15 is performed in units of the instrument set 8 shown in FIG. Here, the device set 8 is a collection of one or a plurality of medical devices 5. The method of dividing the plurality of medical devices 5 into the plurality of device sets 8 is not particularly limited. For example, the instrument set 8 is a collection of one or more medical devices 5 used in a single operation or examination. One or more medical devices 5 used in a single operation or examination are housed, for example, in a tray (not shown) and stored in storage step 16 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, one device set 8 is, for example, a collection of one or more medical devices 5 housed in one of the toilets.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an identification mark 6 is attached to each instrument set 8. The identification mark 6 is for distinguishing one instrument set 8 from another instrument set 8. For example, one or more medical devices 5 included in the device set 8 are covered with a packaging material when sterilization is performed. That is, one or more medical devices 5 included in the device set 8 are collectively housed in the packaging material. The identification mark 6 is attached to, for example, a packaging material. The type of the identification mark 6 is not particularly limited. For example, the identification mark 6 may be a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, or an IC tag.

For example, set ID 81 is recorded on the identification mark 6. The set ID 81 is for distinguishing one instrument set 8 from another instrument set 8. The set ID 81 is a character string composed of numbers, alphabets, and the like. The set ID 81 is different for each instrument set 8. A set ID 81 is attached to each instrument set 8. In the present embodiment, the set ID 81 of the instrument set 8 can be obtained by reading the identification mark 6 by the reading device 30 described later.

In the sterilization management system 100 according to the present embodiment, the set ID 81 is read from the identification mark 6 attached to the instrument set 8. Then, based on the set ID 81 read from the identification mark 6, it is determined whether or not an appropriate sterilization type is specified for the instrument set 8, and an alert is notified according to the determination result. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the sterilization management system 100 includes a reading device 30, a sterilizer 40, a display device 50, an operating device 55, and a sterilization management device 60.

The reading device 30 is operated by an operator and reads the set ID 81 attached to the instrument set 8. Although not shown, the reading device 30 is provided with a handle that allows the operator's hand to be grasped. The reading device 30 reads the set ID 81 recorded on the identification mark 6, and transmits the set ID 81 read by the reading device 30 to the sterilization management device 60. The type of the reading device 30 is not particularly limited as long as it can read the set ID 81 of the identification mark 6. For example, when the identification mark 6 is a two-dimensional code, the reading device 30 may be a two-dimensional code reader capable of reading the two-dimensional code. For example, when the identification mark 6 is an IC tag, the reading device 30 may be an IC tag reader. In this embodiment, the reading device 30 is a non-contact device. However, the reading device 30 may be a contact type device. The number of reading devices 30 used in the sterilization step 15 may be one or a plurality. The installation location of the reading device 30 is, for example, a work space where the sterilization process is performed in the sterilization step 15.

The sterilizer 40 is a device for sterilizing one or more medical devices 5 included in the device set 8. Although detailed description is omitted, the sterilizer 40 has, for example, a sterilization space inside. By arranging the instrument set 8 in this sterilization space and operating the sterilizer 40, one or more medical instruments 5 included in the instrument set 8 can be sterilized. In the present embodiment, one sterilizer 40 can sterilize a plurality of instrument sets 8 at the same time, but even one sterilizer 40 can sterilize one instrument set 8. good. The number of sterilizers 40 in the sterilization management system 100 according to this embodiment is not particularly limited. For example, the number of sterilizers 40 may be one or plural. In other words, the number of sterilizers 40 that can be managed by the sterilization management system 100 according to the present embodiment may be one or a plurality.

In this embodiment, there is a sterilization type that can be used for each sterilizer 40. This sterilization type is a method of sterilization. The sterilization type includes, for example, AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, and PL sterilization. However, the sterilization type may include sterilization types other than AC sterilization, EOG sterilization and PL sterilization. Here, AC sterilization is so-called high-pressure steam sterilization. AC is an abbreviation for Autoclave. In AC sterilization, microorganisms are sterilized by heating in saturated steam at an appropriate humidity and pressure. AC sterilization is used, for example, for medical devices 5 that can withstand high temperatures.

EOG sterilization is a method of sterilizing microorganisms by directly circulating ethylene oxide gas. EOG is ethylene oxide gas. EOG sterilization can be sterilized at a lower temperature than AC sterilization, and is therefore used, for example, for medical devices 5 that do not have heat resistance. PL sterilization is plasma sterilization. In PL sterilization, vaporized hydrogen peroxide gas is injected into the main body in a high vacuum state and a high frequency is applied to turn the hydrogen peroxide gas into plasma. Microorganisms can be sterilized by this plasmaized hydrogen peroxide gas.

In this embodiment, each sterilization type may be further subdivided. The sterilization type may have one or more sterilization courses. For example, when the sterilization type is AC sterilization, the sterilization course includes a 121 ° C course in which the sterilization space of the sterilizer 40 is set to 121 ° C and sterilization, and 135 in which the sterilization space of the sterilizer 40 is set to 135 ° C for sterilization. There are ℃ courses and so on. For example, when the sterilization type is EOG sterilization, the sterilization course includes a 30 ° C course in which the sterilization space of the sterilizer 40 is set to 30 ° C and sterilization, and a 50 ° C course in which the sterilization space is set to 50 ° C and sterilization is performed. , There is a 60 ° C course in which the space is set to 60 ° C and sterilization is performed. For example, when the sterilization type is PL sterilization, there are standard courses and high-speed courses with different sterilization speeds as sterilization courses. However, these sterilization courses are only examples, and any sterilization course can be set by the operator.

The display device 50 displays the status of the sterilizer 40 and the notification of the alert. The type of display device 50 is not particularly limited. For example, the display device 50 may be a display of a portable terminal. The display device 50 may be a display of a desktop type or notebook type personal computer.

The operation device 55 is used when the operator operates what is displayed on the display device 50. For example, the operator can switch the screen displayed on the display device 50 by operating the operation device 55. Further, the operator can select the sterilizer 40 to be used by operating the operation device 55. The type of the operating device 55 is not particularly limited. For example, the operating device 55 is a keyboard and mouse of a personal computer. However, the operating device 55 may be a touch panel provided on the screen (not shown) of the display device 50. Here, the number of the display device 50 and the number of the operation device 55 is one, but each of them may be plural.

Next, the sterilization control device 60 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the sterilization control device 60. The sterilization control device 60 determines whether or not the sterilization type corresponding to the instrument set 8 selected by the operator is included in the sterilization type corresponding to the sterilizer 40 selected by the operator, and determines whether or not the sterilization type corresponding to the instrument set 8 is included in the sterilization type of the instrument set 8. Is a device that notifies an alert when is not included in the sterilization type of the sterilizer 40. The sterilization control device 60 is a computer control device. As shown in FIG. 3, the sterilization control device 60 includes a memory 60a and at least one processor 60b. The number of processors 60b may be one or may be plural. For example, the processor 60b can execute the process by using the program stored in the memory 60a. The sterilization control device 60 may be realized by a dedicated computer or may be realized by a general-purpose computer.

In this embodiment, the sterilization control device 60 is communicably connected to the reader 30 as shown in FIG. The sterilization control device 60 may be connected to the reading device 30 by wire or wirelessly. Further, in the present embodiment, the sterilization control device 60 is communicably connected to the display device 50 and the operation device 55. The sterilization control device 60, the display device 50, and the operation device 55 may be realized by one personal computer. The sterilization control device 60 may not be communicably connected to the sterilizer 40, or may be communicably connected to the sterilizer 40.

Here, the sterilization management system 100 may be realized by a so-called client-server system or may be realized by cloud computing. Further, the sterilization management system 100 may be realized by a so-called stand-alone system.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the sterilization management device 60 includes a storage unit 61, a display unit 63, a sterilizer acquisition unit 64, an instrument set acquisition unit 65, a first type acquisition unit 66, and the like. The second type acquisition unit 68, the sterilization list addition unit 70, the first determination unit 71, the first alert notification unit 73, the count unit 75, the upper limit number of times acquisition unit 76, the second determination unit 78, and the second 2 It is provided with an alert notification unit 79.

The unit 75, the upper limit number acquisition unit 76, the second determination unit 78, and the second alert notification unit 79 can be executed by the processor 60b.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the instrument set information table T11. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the sterilizer information table T13. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the sterilization list table T15. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the sterilization history table T17. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 61 realized by the memory 60a has an instrument set information table T11 (see FIG. 4), a sterilizer information table T13 (see FIG. 5), and a sterilization list. The table T15 (see FIG. 6) and the sterilization history table T17 (see FIG. 7) are stored in advance.

As shown in FIG. 4, the instrument set information table T11 is a table in which the instrument set information 80 is stored. The instrument set information 80 is, for example, information in which the set ID 81, the set name 82, the set sterilization type 83, the set sterilization course 85, and the upper limit sterilization number 87 are at least associated with each other. The instrument set information table T11 is a table in which the set ID 81, the set name 82, the set sterilization type 83, the set sterilization course 85, and the upper limit sterilization number 87 are at least associated with each other. In other words, the instrument set information table T11 has at least items such as a set ID 81, a set name 82, a set sterilization type 83, a set sterilization course 85, and an upper limit sterilization number 87.

Here, "associated" means items described in the same row of the table. "Associated" can be rephrased as "corresponding".

The set ID 81 is a unique ID assigned to each instrument set 8. The set ID 81 is a character string composed of numbers, alphabets, and the like, and is different for each instrument set 8. The set ID 81 may be the name of the instrument set 8 assigned to each instrument set 8. The set name 82 is the name of the instrument set 8. The set name 82 may be arbitrarily attached to the instrument set 8 by the operator. When the set ID 81 is managed by the name of the instrument set 8, the set name 82 may be omitted.

The set sterilization type 83 is a sterilization type for sterilizing the medical device 5 constituting the device set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81. This set sterilization type 83 is the optimum sterilization type for the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81. The set sterilization type 83 includes, for example, AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, PL sterilization and the like. For the set sterilization type 83 associated with the set ID 81, one sterilization type selected from AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, PL sterilization, and the like is specified.

The set sterilization course 85 is a sterilization type sterilization course for sterilizing the medical device 5 constituting the device set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81. As mentioned above, there may be multiple sterilization courses depending on the sterilization type. Therefore, in the instrument set information table T11, the optimum sterilization course for sterilizing the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 is designated as the set sterilization course 85.

In the present embodiment, the set sterilization type 83, which is the optimum sterilization type corresponding to the set ID 81, is set, but the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 is sterilized with the sterilization type not specified by the set sterilization type 83. It is possible to do. Here, the sterilization type not specified in the set sterilization type 83 is referred to as an "excluded sterilization type". For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when AC sterilization is specified for the set sterilization type 83 for the instrument set 8 whose set ID 81 is “id1000”, for the instrument set 8 whose set ID 81 is “id1000”. Therefore, it is possible to sterilize by EOG sterilization or PL sterilization. The excluded sterilization types when the set ID 81 is "id1000" are EOG sterilization and PL sterilization.

When sterilization is performed by the exclusion sterilization type, since the sterilization is not the optimum sterilization type, the burden on the medical device 5 constituting the device set 8 is large, which may cause deterioration to be accelerated. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the upper limit sterilization number 87 when sterilizing with the exclusion sterilization type is set for the instrument set 8. The upper limit sterilization number 87 is the upper limit number of times when the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 is sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type. In other words, the upper limit sterilization number 87 is the upper limit number of times that can be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type.

In the present embodiment, the instrument set information 80 of the instrument set information table T11, that is, the set ID 81, the set name 82, the set sterilization type 83, the set sterilization course 85, and the upper limit sterilization number 87 are displayed on the display device 50, for example. When the operator inputs the information on the master screen (not shown) via the operating device 55, the information is recorded in each item of the instrument set information table T11.

As shown in FIG. 5, the sterilizer information table T13 is a table in which the sterilizer information 90 is stored. The sterilizer information 90 is, for example, information in which the device ID 91, the device name 92, the device sterilization type 93, the device sterilization course 95, and the state 97 are at least associated with each other. The sterilizer information table T13 is a table in which the device ID 91, the device name 92, the device sterilization type 93, the device sterilization course 95, and the state 97 are at least associated with each other. In other words, the sterilizer information table T13 has at least items such as device ID 91, device name 92, device sterilization type 93, device sterilization course 95, and state 97.

The device ID 91 is a unique ID assigned to each sterilizer 40. The device ID 91 is for distinguishing one sterilizer 40 from another sterilizer 40, and is different for each sterilizer 40. The device ID 91 is a character string composed of, for example, numbers and alphabets. The device ID 91 may be the name of the sterilizer 40 assigned to each sterilizer 40. The device name 92 is the name of the sterilizer 40. The device name 92 may be arbitrarily attached to the sterilizer 40 by the operator. When the device ID 91 is managed by the name of the sterilizer 40, the device name 92 may be omitted.

The device sterilization type 93 is a sterilization type that can be used in the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91. Instrument sterilization type 93 includes AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, PL sterilization and the like. The device sterilization type 93 associated with the device ID 91 specifies one sterilization type selected from AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, PL sterilization, and the like.

In this embodiment, one device sterilization type 93 can be specified for one sterilizer 40. However, the sterilizer information table T13 may be able to specify a plurality of instrument sterilization types 93 for one sterilizer 40. When a plurality of equipment sterilization types 93 are specified for one sterilizer 40, it is preferable to prepare a plurality of rows in which the same equipment ID 91 is specified in the sterilizer information table T13 and specify different equipment sterilization types 93 for each row. .. Alternatively, in the sterilizer information table T13, a plurality of sterilization types may be specified in the cell of the device sterilization type 93.

The instrument sterilization course 95 is an instrument sterilization type 93 sterilization course in which the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the instrument ID 91 can be used. As mentioned above, there may be multiple sterilization courses depending on the sterilization type. Therefore, in the sterilizer information table T13, the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91 is designated as the device sterilizer course 95.

In this embodiment, it is possible to specify a plurality of instrument sterilization courses 95 for one sterilizer 40. When a plurality of equipment sterilization courses 95 are specified for one sterilizer 40, it is preferable to prepare a plurality of rows in which the same equipment ID 91 is specified in the sterilizer information table T13 and specify different equipment sterilization courses 95 for each row. .. Alternatively, in the sterilizer information table T13, a plurality of sterilization courses may be designated in the cell of the device sterilization course 95 corresponding to the device ID 91.

The state 97 indicates the operating state of the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91. The state 97 is set to any of the operating state S11, the non-operating state S12, and the standby state S13 (see FIG. 8), which will be described later.

The device ID 172 is the device ID of the sterilizer 40 used for the sterilization started at the sterilization start date and time 171. The number of instruments 173 is the number of times the sterilizer 40 used for the sterilization started at the sterilization start date and time 171 within a predetermined period. The device ID 172 and the number of devices 173 are obtained from the device ID 125 used in the sterilization history table T17 and the number 115 devices in the sterilization list table T15, respectively.

The set name 175 is a set name of the instrument set 8 to be sterilized, which was started on the sterilization start date and time 171. The sterilization result 174 is a sterilization result of whether or not the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set name 175 was properly sterilized. The set name 175 is obtained from the set name 82 of the instrument set information table T11 based on the sterilization set ID 123 of the sterilization history table T17. The set name 175 may be a set ID. In that case, the set ID of the sterilization history list L3 is acquired from the sterilization set ID 123 of the sterilization history table T17. The sterilization result 174 is obtained from the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history table T17. Comment 176 is for describing the contents of the sterilization result 128 and the like. Comment 176 is obtained from comment 129 of the sterilization history table T17.

The comment 176 may be registered on the sterilization history screen DP5. In this case, the comment 176 is configured to be inputtable via the operating device 55. The operator inputs characters into the comment 176 via the operating device 55 and presses an OK button (not shown). As a result, the characters entered in the comment 176 are registered in the comment 129 of the sterilization history table T17.

In the present embodiment, the sterilization history screen DP5 has a search function for searching the contents displayed in the sterilization history list L3. Specifically, the sterilization history screen DP5 has a start date input field 181, an end date input field 182, a sterilizer input field 183, a sterilization result input field 184, and a search button BT41 as search functions. ..

In the start date input field 181, the first date of the sterilization history period to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input. In the end date input field 182, the last date of the sterilization history period to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input. In the sterilizer input field 183, the sterilizer 40 to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input. In the sterilization result input field 184, the sterilization result (for example, OK or NG) to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input. The start date input field 181, the end date input field 182, the sterilizer input field 183, and the sterilization result input field 184 may be blank.

When the operator presses the search button BT41 via the operating device 55, the corresponding information is extracted from the sterilization history table T17 based on the input contents of the input fields 181 to 184. Then, the information extracted from the sterilization history table T17 is displayed in the sterilization history list L3.

The screens DP1 to DP5 displayed on the display device 50 of the sterilization management system 100 have been described above. Next, the procedure for performing sterilization in the sterilization step 15 using the sterilization management system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 13A and 13B.

First, in step S101 of FIG. 13A, the sterilizer acquisition unit 64 acquires the device ID attached to the sterilizer 40 used for the sterilization process. Here, the device ID of the sterilizer 40 acquired by the sterilizer acquisition unit 64 is referred to as a target device ID 91A. In the present embodiment, the sterilizer acquisition unit 64 acquires the target device ID 91A of the sterilizer 40 designated by the operator.

In step S101, the display device 50 displays the sterilizer operation screen DP1 shown in FIG. 8 by the display unit 63. The operator selects one sterilizer 40 from the plurality of sterilizers 40 displayed on the sterilizer operation screen DP1 by operating the operation device 55. The sterilizer acquisition unit 64 acquires the device ID 150 of the sterilizer 40 selected on the sterilizer operation screen DP1 as the target device ID 91A. The target device ID 91A acquired by the sterilizer acquisition unit 64 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S103 of FIG. 13A, the instrument set acquisition unit 65 acquires the set ID of the instrument set 8 to be sterilized. Here, the set ID acquired by the instrument set acquisition unit 65 is referred to as a target set ID 81A. In the present embodiment, the instrument set acquisition unit 65 acquires the set ID read by the reading device 30 as the target set ID 81A.

In the present embodiment, in step S101, after the operator specifies the sterilizer 40 to be used for sterilization on the sterilizer operation screen DP1 (see FIG. 8), the sterilization list start screen DP2 (FIG. 9) for the designated sterilizer 40. See) is displayed on the display device 50. In step S103 of FIG. 13A, the operator holds the reading device 30 over the identification mark 6 (see FIG. 1) attached to the instrument set 8 while the sterilization list start screen DP2 is displayed on the display device 50. The reading device 30 reads the set ID 81 recorded on the identification mark 6. The instrument set acquisition unit 65 acquires the set ID 81 read by the reading device 30 and recorded on the identification mark 6 as the target set ID 81A. The target set ID 81A acquired by the instrument set acquisition unit 65 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S105 of FIG. 13A, the first type acquisition unit 66 acquires the set sterilization type 83 corresponding to the target set ID 81A from the instrument set information 80 (see FIG. 5). Here, the set sterilization type 83 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is referred to as a target set sterilization type 83A. In the present embodiment, the instrument set information 80 is stored in the instrument set information table T11 stored in the storage unit 61. Therefore, the first type acquisition unit 66 acquires the target set sterilization type 83A based on the instrument set information table T11.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the first type acquisition unit 66 extracts the row of the set ID 81 corresponding to the target set ID 81A from the instrument set information table T11. Then, the first type acquisition unit 66 extracts the set sterilization type 83 associated with the target set ID 81A, and sets the extracted set sterilization type 83 as the target set sterilization type 83A. The target set sterilization type 83A acquired by the first type acquisition unit 66 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S107 of FIG. 13A, the second type acquisition unit 68 acquires the device sterilization type 93 corresponding to the target device ID 91A from the sterilizer information 90 (see FIG. 5). Here, the device sterilization type 93 corresponding to the target device ID 91A is referred to as the target device sterilization type 93A. In the present embodiment, the sterilizer information 90 is stored in the sterilizer information table T13 (see FIG. 5) stored in the storage unit 61. Therefore, the second type acquisition unit 68 acquires the target device sterilization type 93A based on the sterilizer information table T13.

Specifically, the second type acquisition unit 68 extracts the row of the device ID 91 corresponding to the target device ID 91A from the sterilizer information table T13. Then, the second type acquisition unit 68 extracts the device sterilization type 93 associated with the target device ID 91A, and sets the extracted device sterilization type 93 as the target device sterilization type 93A. The target device sterilization type 93A acquired by the second type acquisition unit 68 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S109, the first determination unit 71 determines whether or not the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are the same. Here, it is determined whether or not the target set sterilization type 83A acquired in step S105 and the target equipment sterilization type 93A acquired in step S107 are the same. Here, when the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are the same, the determination result is set to YES, and then the process proceeds to step S110.

In step S110, the sterilization list addition unit 70 adds information about the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list information 110 of the sterilization list table T15 shown in FIG. 6, for example. Here, the device ID 161 shown in FIG. 9, the number of devices 162, and the target set ID 81A are added to the sterilization list information 110 in a state of being related to each other. By being added to the sterilization list information 110 in this way, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is added to the sterilization list L2 on the sterilization list start screen DP2. The instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is managed so as to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the instrument ID 161.

On the other hand, in step S109 of FIG. 13A, when the first determination unit 71 determines that the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are not the same, the determination result is set to NO, and then in step S111. move on.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the sterilization type difference alert A10. In step S111, the first alert notification unit 73 notifies the sterilization type difference alert A10 as shown in FIG. Here, the sterilization type difference alert A10 is an alert notifying the operator that the sterilization type of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID81A and the sterilization type of the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target device ID91A are different.

In the present embodiment, the first alert notification unit 73 displays the first alert message screen DP61 on which the sterilization type difference alert A10 is displayed on the display device 50. In the present embodiment, the first alert message screen DP61 is displayed so as to overlap, for example, the sterilization list start screen DP2 (see FIG. 9) from above. However, after hiding the sterilization list start screen DP2, the alert message screen DP61 may be displayed on the display device 50. After the sterilization type difference alert A10 is notified by the first alert notification unit 73, the process proceeds to step S113 in FIG. 13B.

The method by which the first alert notification unit 73 notifies an alert that the sterilization type is different is not limited to the alert message screen DP61. The first alert notification unit 73 may display, for example, the sterilization type difference alert A10 directly on the sterilization list start screen DP2.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, a YES button BT51 and a NO button BT52 are arranged on the alert message screen DP61. The YES button BT51 is a button that allows the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type. On the other hand, the NO button BT52 is a button that does not allow the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type.

Here, in step S113 of FIG. 13B, it is determined whether or not the operator has pressed the YES button BT51 via the operating device 55. Here, when it is determined that the operator has not pressed the YES button BT51 via the operating device 55, that is, the NO button BT52 has been pressed, the determination result in step S113 is set to NO, and then the process proceeds to step S114.

In step S114, the sterilization list addition unit 70 does not add information about the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list information 110 of the sterilization list table T15. In other words, the sterilization list addition unit 70 does not add the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. That is, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is managed so as not to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target device ID 91A.

On the other hand, in step S113, when the operator presses the YES button BT51 via the operating device 55, the determination result in step S113 is set to YES, and then the process proceeds to step S115. In step S115, the counting unit 75 counts the number of times the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A has been sterilized with a sterilization type other than the target set sterilization type 83A. Here, the sterilization type other than the target set sterilization type 83A is the above-mentioned exclusion sterilization type. For example, if the target set sterilization type 83A is AC sterilized, the excluded sterilization type is EOG sterilization or PL sterilization. The counting unit 75 counts the number of times the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type. Here, the number of times of sterilization by the exclusion sterilization type is referred to as the number of times of exclusion sterilization.

Next, in step S117, the upper limit number acquisition unit 76 acquires the upper limit sterilization number 87 corresponding to the target set ID 81A. Here, the upper limit sterilization number 87 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is referred to as the target upper limit sterilization number 87A. The upper limit number acquisition unit 76 acquires the target upper limit sterilization number 87A based on the instrument set information 80 of the instrument set information table T11 shown in FIG. Specifically, the upper limit number of times acquisition unit 76 first extracts the row of the set ID 81 corresponding to the target set ID 81A from the instrument set information table T11. Then, the upper limit number acquisition unit 76 extracts the upper limit sterilization number 87 associated with the target set ID 81A, and sets the extracted upper limit sterilization number 87 as the target upper limit sterilization number 87A. The target upper limit sterilization number 87A acquired by the upper limit number acquisition unit 76 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S119, the second determination unit 78 determines whether or not the number of exclusion sterilizations counted by the counting unit 75 is equal to or greater than the target upper limit sterilization number of 87A. In step S119, when the second determination unit 78 determines that the number of exclusion sterilizations is 87A or more of the target upper limit sterilization number, the determination result is set to YES, and then the process proceeds to step S121.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the upper limit number of times over alert A11. In step S121, the second alert notification unit 79 notifies the upper limit number of times over alert A11 as shown in FIG. Here, the upper limit number of times over alert A11 is an alert notifying the operator that the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A cannot be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type.

In the present embodiment, the second alert notification unit 79 displays the second alert message screen DP62 on which the upper limit number of times over-alert A11 is displayed on the display device 50. In the present embodiment, the second alert message screen DP62 is displayed so as to overlap the sterilization list start screen DP2 (see FIG. 9) from above, for example. However, after hiding the sterilization list start screen DP2, the second alert message screen DP62 may be displayed on the display device 50.

In the present embodiment, the YES button BT61 is arranged on the second alert message screen DP62. The operator presses the YES button BT61 via the operating device 55 to hide the second alert message screen DP62.

As described above, when the number of exclusion sterilizations is 87A or more, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A cannot be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type. In this case, in step S123, the sterilization list addition unit 70 does not add information about the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list information 110 of the sterilization list table T15. In other words, the sterilization list addition unit 70 does not add the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. That is, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is managed so as not to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target device ID 91A.

In step S119, when the second determination unit 78 determines that the number of exclusion sterilizations is less than the target upper limit sterilization number 87A, the determination result is set to NO, and then the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, the sterilization list addition unit 70 adds information about the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list information 110 of the sterilization list table T15 shown in FIG. 6, for example. Here, the device ID 161 shown in FIG. 9, the number of devices 162, and the target set ID 81A are added to the sterilization list information 110 in a state of being related to each other. By being added to the sterilization list information 110 in this way, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is added to the sterilization list L2 on the sterilization list start screen DP2. The instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is managed so as to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the instrument ID 161.

In the present embodiment, the processes of steps S103 to S125 can be repeated. Therefore, it is possible to add a plurality of instrument sets 8 to the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. In other words, the sterilizer 40 can sterilize a plurality of instrument sets 8 together. Here, the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. 9 is sterilized together.

In the present embodiment, the operator presses the start button BT11 (see FIG. 9) of the sterilization list start screen DP2 via the operating device 55 to sterilize the device ID 161 shown on the sterilization list start screen DP2. The vessel 40 is activated and it is controlled that the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 is sterilized. At this time, the date and time when the start button BT11 is pressed is displayed on the sterilization start date and time 164 such as the sterilization list start screen DP2.

Here, when the start button BT11 is pressed, the target set ID 81A and the target device ID 91A are recorded in association with the sterilization set ID 123 and the device ID 125 used in the sterilization history information 120, respectively, and the sterilization start date and time 121 is set. The date and time when the button BT11 is operated is recorded in association with each other. In the present embodiment, the processing of steps S103 to S125 may be repeated, so that a plurality of target set IDs 81A may exist. Therefore, the information for the target set ID 81A of the number of instrument sets 8 added to the sterilization list L2 (in other words, the sterilization list information 110) is recorded in the sterilization history information 120. When the start button BT11 is pressed, the sterilization list start screen DP2 is switched to the sterilization list end screen DP3 shown in FIG.

When the sterilization by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 is completed, the operator presses the end button BT21 (see FIG. 10) via the operating device 55. When the end button BT21 is pressed, the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 shown on the sterilization list end screen DP3 is stopped, and it is managed that the sterilization of the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 is completed. .. At this time, the date and time when the end button BT21 is pressed is displayed on the sterilization end date and time 165 such as the sterilization list end screen DP3. Then, the date and time when the end button BT21 is operated is recorded in association with the sterilization end date and time 122 (see FIG. 7) of the sterilization history information 120. When the end button BT21 is pressed, the sterilization list end screen DP3 is switched to the sterilization list determination screen DP4 shown in FIG.

In this way, after the sterilization of the instrument set 8 in the sterilization list L2 is completed, the operator determines whether or not the instrument set 8 has been properly sterilized. Here, the instrument set 8 contains an indicator. This indicator is a conventionally known indicator, for example, which changes color when properly sterilized. By checking the indicator for each instrument set 8, the operator can determine whether or not the instrument set 8 has been properly sterilized.

Here, when all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are properly sterilized, the operator selects the sterilizer abnormality selection button BT32 and the instrument set abnormality selection button BT33 via the operating device 55. Instead, press the determination button BT31. This ensures that all instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are properly sterilized. In this case, the target sterilization results for all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are set as sterilization normal, and are recorded in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. In other words, OK indicating normal sterilization is recorded in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID123) corresponding to all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2.

In the present embodiment, if an abnormality occurs in the sterilizer 40 itself and all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are not properly sterilized, the operator first goes through the operating device 55. Select the sterilizer abnormality selection button BT32. After that, the operator presses the determination button BT31 via the operating device 55. As a result, all instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are managed as not properly sterilized. In this case, the target sterilization results for all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are recorded as sterilization abnormalities in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. In other words, NG indicating a sterilization abnormality is recorded in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID123) corresponding to all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2.

When some of the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 are not properly sterilized, the operator first selects the instrument set abnormality selection button BT33 via the operating device 55. The operator then selects the instrument set 8 that has not been properly sterilized from the sterilization list L2 via the operating device 55. A plurality of selections can be made for the selection of the instrument set 8. After that, the operator presses the determination button BT31 via the operating device 55.

As a result, among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2, the instrument set 8 selected by the operator is managed as not being properly sterilized. On the other hand, among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2, the instrument set 8 not selected by the operator is managed to be properly sterilized. At this time, among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2, the target sterilization result for the instrument set 8 selected by the operator is recorded as a sterilization abnormality in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. In other words, NG indicating a sterilization abnormality is recorded in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID123) corresponding to the instrument set 8 selected by the operator in the sterilization list L2. On the other hand, among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2, the target sterilization result for the instrument set 8 not selected by the operator is regarded as sterilization normal, and is recorded in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. In other words, OK indicating normal sterilization is recorded in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID123) corresponding to the instrument set 8 not selected by the operator in the sterilization list L2. In this way, the result of sterilization of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is recorded in the sterilization history information 120, so that a series of processes in the sterilization step 15 is completed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the sterilization control device 60 includes a memory 60a and at least one processor 60b, as shown in FIG. The memory 60a stores the instrument set information 80 (see FIG. 4) and the sterilizer information 90 (see FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 4, the instrument set information 80 is used when sterilizing the set ID 81 attached to the instrument set 8 in which one or a plurality of medical instruments 5 are assembled and the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81. Is associated with a set sterilization type 83, which is a sterilization type of. As shown in FIG. 5, the sterilizer information 90 is associated with the device ID 91 attached to the sterilizer 40 and the device sterilization type 93 which is a sterilizer type that can be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91. ..

At least one processor 60b is configured to be able to execute an instrument set acquisition process, a sterilizer acquisition process, a first type acquisition process, a second type acquisition process, and a first determination process. The instrument set acquisition process is executed by the instrument set acquisition unit 65. In the instrument set acquisition process, the target set ID 81A attached to the instrument set 8 designated by the operator is acquired. The sterilizer acquisition process is executed by the sterilizer acquisition unit 64. In the sterilizer acquisition process, the target device ID 91A attached to the sterilizer 40 designated by the operator is acquired. The first type acquisition process is executed by the first type acquisition unit 66. In the first type acquisition process, the target set sterilization type 83A corresponding to the target set ID 81A is acquired from the set sterilization type 83 based on the instrument set information 80. The second type acquisition process is executed by the second type acquisition unit 68. In the second type acquisition process, the target device sterilization type 93A corresponding to the target device ID 91A is acquired from the device sterilization type 93 based on the sterilizer information 90. The first determination process is executed by the first determination unit 71. In the first determination process, it is determined whether or not the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are the same.

In this embodiment, for example, an appropriate sterilization type for the instrument set 8 is stored in the instrument set information 80 (see FIG. 4) as a set sterilization type 83, and a sterilization type that can be used by the sterilizer 40 is a sterilizer as an instrument sterilization type 93. It is stored in information 90 (see FIG. 5). Therefore, for example, after acquiring the target set ID 81A of the instrument set 8 designated by the operator, the target set sterilization type 83A can be acquired from the set sterilization type 83 of the instrument set information 80 based on the instrument set information 80. .. Further, for example, after acquiring the target device ID 91A of the sterilizer 40 designated by the operator, the target device sterilization type 93A can be obtained from the device sterilization type 93 of the sterilizer information 90 based on the sterilizer information 90. .. Here, the difference between the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A means that sterilization is not performed with the optimum sterilization type for the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A. Therefore, when it is determined in the first determination process that the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are different, the operator can reselect the sterilizer 40 before the sterilization process is started. .. Therefore, the sterilization control device 60 can manage the medical device 5 included in the device set 8 so as to sterilize with the optimum sterilization type when performing the sterilization process.

In the present embodiment, at least one processor 60b notifies the sterilization type difference alert A10 (see FIG. 14) when it is determined in the first determination process that the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are not the same. The first alert notification process is enabled to be executed. This first alert notification process is executed by the first alert notification unit 73. As a result, the sterilization type difference alert A10 is notified, so that the operator can easily know that the instrument set 8 to be sterilized cannot be sterilized with the optimum sterilization type before the start of sterilization.

In the present embodiment, in the first alert notification process, the first alert message screen DP61 (see FIG. 14) showing the message of the sterilization type difference alert A10 is displayed on the display device 50. This makes it easier for the operator to know the sterilization type difference alert A10 by visually observing the display device 50.

In the present embodiment, the memory 60a stores the instrument set information table T11 (see FIG. 4) in which the instrument set information 80 is stored. Further, the memory 60a stores the sterilizer information table T13 (see FIG. 5) in which the sterilizer information 90 is stored. As a result, since the instrument set information 80 and the sterilizer information 90 are managed in the database table, the information can be easily added, deleted, and changed.

In the present embodiment, the exclusion sterilization type is a general term for the types of sterilization types excluding the set sterilization type 83. The instrument set 8 is configured to be sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type. As shown in FIG. 4, the instrument set information 80 stores the set ID 81 and the upper limit sterilization number 87 that can sterilize the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 by the exclusion sterilization type. At least one processor 60b is configured to be able to execute a count process, an upper limit number of times acquisition process, a second determination process, and a second alert notification process. The counting process is executed by the counting unit 75. In the counting process, the number of times of exclusion sterilization, which is the number of times the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is actually sterilized by the exclusion sterilization type, is counted. The upper limit number acquisition process is executed by the upper limit number acquisition unit 76. In the upper limit number acquisition process, the target upper limit sterilization number 87A corresponding to the target set ID 81A is acquired from the upper limit sterilization number 87 based on the instrument set information 80. The second determination process is executed by the second determination unit 78. In the second determination process, it is determined whether or not the number of exclusion sterilizations is the target upper limit sterilization number of 87A or more. The second alert notification process is executed by the second alert notification unit 79. In the second alert notification process, when it is determined in the second determination process that the number of excluded sterilizations is 87 A or more of the target upper limit sterilization number, the upper limit number of times over alert A11 (see FIG. 15) is notified.

For example, in the operation / examination step 11 of FIG. 2, an operation may be performed urgently. In this case, it may be desirable to hurry to sterilize the instrument set 8 including the medical device 5 used in emergency surgery. In this case, it is sufficient that the instrument set 8 can be sterilized with the optimum sterilization type, but it may be possible that only the exclusion sterilization type can be sterilized in a hurry. In this embodiment, it is possible to sterilize the instrument set 8 with the exclusion sterilization type.
