Note that the embodiments described here are, of course, not intended to particularly limit the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a sterilization management system 100 according to this embodiment. Sterilization management system 100 is a system used when sterilizing medical instruments 5 using sterilizer 40 .

The medical instrument 5 is an instrument used in medical practice performed at a hospital. Medical practice refers to medical practice that a doctor performs for a patient. A medical act is an act performed in a medical setting, for example, a hospital. Medical procedures include, for example, surgeries and medical examinations.

The medical instruments 5 include, for example, trocars, forceps, incision devices, washing and suction devices, scissors, scalpels (for example, laser scalpels and electric scalpels), ultrasonic cutters, scalpel holders, cannulas, forceps, retractors, scales, sondes, elevators, and raspas. , suction tube, thoracotomy device, thoracotomy device, needle holder, syringe, metal ball, pus tray, cup, pin, mirror, file, opening device, cleanser, hand piece, elebatrium, chisel, sharp spoon, peeling Child, mirror, suture needle, Stanze, water receiver, needle, indenter, bougie, ventilation tube, bone fragment driving rod, rewell, radio pliers, hammer, angle meter, thermometer, perforator, dropper, metal swab, enema device , syringes and endoscopes. However, the above example only enumerates some of the medical instruments 5. The medical device 5 is not limited to the above example.

The medical instrument 5 may be composed of one part or a plurality of parts. Examples of the medical instrument 5 composed of a plurality of parts include a trocar, forceps, an incision device, a cleaning suction device, etc. used in laparoscopic surgery. Such a medical instrument 5 includes a plurality of component parts, and is collected after, for example, a surgery and disassembled into the plurality of component parts. Here, the parts that make up the medical instrument 5 are referred to as component parts. Furthermore, there are cases where a component is further composed of a plurality of component parts, and in such a case, all of them are referred to as component parts.

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. Note that the number of repetitions in the circulation cycle 10 for the medical device 5 is not particularly limited, and varies depending on the type of the medical device 5 and the types of components forming the medical device 5. In this embodiment, the circulation cycle 10 includes a surgery/diagnosis process 11, a recovery process 12, a cleaning process 13, an assembly process 14, a sterilization process 15, and a storage process 16.

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

The collection step 12 is a step performed after the surgery/examination step 11. The recovery step 12 is a step of recovering the medical instruments 5 used in surgery or medical examination. Note that when the medical device 5 is composed of a plurality of component parts, the recovery step 12 may include an operation of disassembling the medical device 5 into individual component parts.

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

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

The sterilization process 15 is a process performed after the assembly process 14. The sterilization process 15 is a process of sterilizing the medical device 5 assembled in the assembly process 14. In the sterilization step 15, the medical instrument 5 is sterilized using a sterilizer 40 (see FIG. 1), which will be described later. Hereinafter, sterilization treatment will also be 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 instruments 5 at a predetermined location. Note that after the storage step 16, a surgery/examination step 11 is performed.

The sterilization management system 100 according to this embodiment is a system used in the sterilization process 15. The sterilization management system 100 will be explained in detail below. 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 plurality of medical instruments 5 are used to perform surgery or medical examination on a patient. In the sterilization step 15, the plurality of medical instruments 5 are sterilized. The operator manages the medical instruments 5 to be sterilized by keeping records such as when sterilization started, when sterilization ended, and whether sterilization was performed appropriately. Conventionally, records regarding these sterilization treatments were often kept on paper, for example. It often took time to organize paper records related to sterilization procedures. Furthermore, it often takes time for the operator to appropriately obtain the information needed from the paper-recorded records regarding sterilization. As described above, in the past, records regarding sterilization treatments were often kept, for example, on paper, making management complicated.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the sterilization management system 100 manages the sterilization history regarding the sterilization process performed in the sterilization process 15 shown in FIG. The sterilization management system 100 manages information regarding the sterilization process for the medical instruments 5, such as when sterilization starts, when sterilization ends, and whether or not sterilization was performed appropriately. By acquiring the information on the sterilization process recorded in the sterilization management system 100, the operator can easily know the information on the necessary sterilization process.

In this embodiment, the sterilization process in the sterilization process 15 is performed in units of the instrument set 8 shown in FIG. Here, the instrument set 8 is a collection of one or more medical instruments 5. The method of dividing the plurality of medical instruments 5 into the plurality of instrument sets 8 is not particularly limited. For example, the instrument set 8 is a collection of one or more medical instruments 5 used in one surgery or medical examination. One or more medical instruments 5 used in one surgery or medical examination are stored, for example, in a tray (not shown) in a storage step 16 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, one instrument set 8 is, for example, a collection of one or more medical instruments 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. This identification mark 6 is for distinguishing one instrument set 8 from another instrument set 8. For example, one or more medical instruments 5 included in the instrument set 8 are covered by a packaging material when sterilization is performed. That is, one or more medical instruments 5 included in the instrument set 8 are housed together in the packaging material. The identification mark 6 is attached to the packaging material, for example. Note that the type of 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, a 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 assigned to each instrument set 8. In this embodiment, the set ID 81 of the instrument set 8 can be acquired by reading the identification mark 6 with the reading device 30 described later.

In the sterilization management system 100 according to this embodiment, the set ID 81 is read from the identification mark 6 attached to the instrument set 8. Then, information regarding the sterilization process for the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 read from the identification mark 6 is managed. Here, 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, as shown in FIG.

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 on which the operator's hand can be held. 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. Note that the type of 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 is preferably a two-dimensional code reader capable of reading the two-dimensional code. For example, if 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 type device. However, the reading device 30 may be a contact type device. Note that the number of reading devices 30 used in the sterilization process 15 may be one or more. The installation location of the reading device 30 is, for example, a work space where sterilization processing is performed in the sterilization process 15.

Sterilizer 40 is a device that sterilizes one or more medical instruments 5 included in instrument 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 this embodiment, it is possible to sterilize a plurality of instrument sets 8 at the same time with one sterilizer 40, but even if it is possible to sterilize one instrument set 8 with one sterilizer 40, good. Note that 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 more. In other words, the number of sterilizers 40 that can be managed by the sterilization management system 100 according to this embodiment may be one or more.

In this embodiment, there is a usable sterilization type for each sterilizer 40. This sterilization type refers to the method of sterilization. Sterilization types include, 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 refers to so-called high-pressure steam sterilization. AC is an abbreviation for Autoclave. In AC sterilization, microorganisms are sterilized by heating in saturated steam at appropriate humidity and pressure. AC sterilization is used, for example, for medical instruments 5 that can withstand high temperatures.

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

In this embodiment, each sterilization type may be further subdivided. A sterilization type may have one or more sterilization courses. For example, when the sterilization type is AC sterilization, the sterilization courses include a 121°C course in which the sterilization space of the sterilizer 40 is set to 121°C and sterilization is performed, and a 135 course in which sterilization is performed by setting the sterilization space in the sterilizer 40 to 135°C. There are ℃ courses etc. For example, when the sterilization type is EOG sterilization, the sterilization courses include a 30°C course in which the sterilization space of the sterilizer 40 is set at 30°C and sterilization is performed, and a 50°C course in which the sterilization space is set at 50°C and sterilized. There is a 60°C course in which the space is set at 60°C and sterilized. For example, when the sterilization type is PL sterilization, there are sterilization courses such as a standard course and a high speed course, which differ in the speed of sterilization processing. 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 above-mentioned alert notification. Note that the type of display device 50 is not particularly limited. For example, the display device 50 may be a display of a portable terminal. Display device 50 may be a display of a desktop or notebook personal computer.

The operating device 55 is used by an operator to operate what is displayed on the display device 50. For example, a worker can switch the screen displayed on the display device 50 by operating the operating device 55. Furthermore, by operating the operating device 55, the operator can select the sterilizer 40 to be used. Note that the type of 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. Note that here, the number of display devices 50 and the number of operation devices 55 is one each, but there may be a plurality of each.

Next, the sterilization management device 60 will be explained. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the sterilization management device 60. The sterilization management device 60 manages sterilization history regarding sterilization processing. The sterilization management device 60 manages information regarding the sterilization process for the medical instruments 5, such as when sterilization is started, when sterilization is finished, and whether sterilization has been performed appropriately. The sterilization management device 60 is a computer control device. As shown in FIG. 3, the sterilization management device 60 includes a memory 60a and at least one processor 60b. The number of processors 60b may be one or more. For example, processing can be executed by the processor 60b using a program stored in the memory 60a. The sterilization management device 60 may be realized by a dedicated computer or a general-purpose computer.

In this embodiment, the sterilization management device 60 is communicably connected to the reading device 30, as shown in FIG. The sterilization management device 60 may be connected to the reading device 30 by wire or wirelessly. Further, in this embodiment, the sterilization management device 60 is communicably connected to the display device 50 and the operating device 55. Note that the sterilization management device 60, the display device 50, and the operating device 55 may be realized by one personal computer. Sterilization management device 60 may not be communicably connected to sterilizer 40, or may be communicably connected to 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. Furthermore, the sterilization management system 100 may be implemented as a so-called stand-alone system.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. It includes a management section 67, a termination management section 68, and a determination management section 69. The sterilization management device 60 further includes a first type acquisition section 71, a second type acquisition section 72, a first determination section 73, a first alert notification section 74, a counting section 75, and an upper limit frequency acquisition section 76. , a second determination section 78, and a second alert notification section 79.

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

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

Here, "associated" refers to items listed in the same row of the table. "Associated" can be translated 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, etc., and is different for each instrument set 8. Note that the set ID 81 may be the name of the instrument set 8 given to each instrument set 8. The set name 82 is the name of the instrument set 8. The set name 82 may be arbitrarily given to the instrument set 8 by the operator. Note that 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 used when sterilizing the medical instruments 5 constituting the instrument 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, and PL sterilization. The set sterilization type 83 associated with the set ID 81 specifies one sterilization type selected from AC sterilization, EOG sterilization, PL sterilization, and the like.

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

In this embodiment, set sterilization type 83, which is the optimal sterilization type corresponding to set ID 81, is set, but instrument set 8 corresponding to set ID 81 is sterilized with a sterilization type that is not specified in set sterilization type 83. It is possible to do this. Here, a sterilization type that is not specified in the set sterilization type 83 is referred to as an "excluded sterilization type." For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if AC sterilization is specified in the set sterilization type 83 for instrument set 8 whose set ID 81 is "id1000", for instrument set 8 whose set ID 81 is "id1000", Therefore, sterilization can be performed by EOG sterilization or PL sterilization. The excluded sterilization types when the set ID81 is "id1000" are EOG sterilization and PL sterilization.

When sterilization is performed using the exclusion sterilization type, since the sterilization is not the optimal sterilization type, a heavy burden is placed on the medical instruments 5 constituting the instrument set 8, which may lead to accelerated deterioration. Therefore, in the present embodiment, an upper limit number of sterilization times 87 is set for the instrument set 8 when sterilization is performed using the exclusion sterilization type. The upper limit number of sterilization times 87 is the upper limit number of times when the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set ID 81 is sterilized using the exclusion sterilization type. In other words, the upper limit number of sterilization times 87 is the upper limit number of times that sterilization can be performed using the excluded sterilization type.

In this 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 maximum number of sterilization times 87 are displayed on the display device 50, for example. The information is recorded in each item of the instrument set information table T11 by the operator inputting it via the operating device 55 on the master screen (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 5, the sterilizer information table T13 is a table in which sterilizer information 90 is stored. The sterilizer information 90 is information in which at least a device ID 91, a device name 92, a device sterilization type 93, a device sterilization course 95, and a state 97 are associated. The sterilizer information table T13 is a table in which at least a device ID 91, a device name 92, a device sterilization type 93, a device sterilization course 95, and a state 97 are associated with each other. In other words, the sterilizer information table T13 includes at least items such as device ID 91, device name 92, device sterilization type 93, device sterilization course 95, and status 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 other sterilizers 40, and is different for each sterilizer 40. The device ID 91 is, for example, a character string composed of numbers, alphabets, and the like. Note that the device ID 91 may be the name of the sterilizer 40 given to each sterilizer 40. The device name 92 is the name of the sterilizer 40. The device name 92 may be arbitrarily assigned to the sterilizer 40 by the operator. Note that 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. The device 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.

Note that in this embodiment, it is possible to specify one device sterilization type 93 for one sterilizer 40. However, the sterilizer information table T13 may be able to specify a plurality of device sterilization types 93 for one sterilizer 40. When specifying multiple device sterilization types 93 for one sterilizer 40, it is recommended to prepare multiple rows in which the same device ID 91 is specified in the sterilizer information table T13, and specify a different device sterilization type 93 in 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 device sterilization course 95 is a sterilization course of the device sterilization type 93 in which the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91 can be used. As mentioned above, depending on the sterilization type, there may be multiple sterilization courses. Therefore, in the sterilizer information table T13, a sterilization course in which the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 91 can be used is specified in the device sterilization course 95.

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

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

In this embodiment, the device ID 91, device name 92, device sterilization type 93, and device sterilization course 95 of the sterilizer information 90 of the sterilizer information table T13 are stored in the master screen (not shown) displayed on the display device 50, for example. 1), the information is inputted by the operator via the operating device 55 and recorded in each item of the sterilizer information table T13. The state 97 of the sterilizer information 90 is changed as appropriate, and is changed, for example, by pressing a start button BT11 (see FIG. 9) or an end button BT21 (see FIG. 10), which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 6, the sterilization list table T15 is a table in which sterilization list information 110 regarding the instrument set 8 to be sterilized using the sterilizer 40 is stored. The sterilization list information 110 is information for managing the instrument sets 8 that are collectively sterilized in each sterilizer 40. This sterilization list information 110 is used, for example, when displaying a sterilization list L2 described later in FIG. 9.

The set name 175 is the set name of the instrument set 8 to be sterilized starting at the sterilization start date and time 171. The sterilization result 174 is a sterilization result indicating whether or not the instrument set 8 corresponding to the set name 175 was properly sterilized. The set name 175 is acquired 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. Note that 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. The comment 176 is for writing the contents of the sterilization result 128, etc. Comment 176 is obtained from comment 129 of sterilization history table T17.

Note that the comment 176 may be registered on this 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 input in the comment 176 are registered in the comment 129 of the sterilization history table T17.

In this embodiment, the sterilization history screen DP5 has a search function for searching the contents displayed in the sterilization history list L3. Specifically, as a search function, 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 are arranged on the sterilization history screen DP5. .

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 period of the sterilization history displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input. The sterilizer 40 to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input into the sterilizer input field 183. A sterilization result (for example, OK or NG) to be displayed in the sterilization history list L3 is input into the sterilization result input field 184. Note that the start date input field 181, end date input field 182, sterilizer input field 183, and 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 in the input fields 181 to 184. Information extracted from the sterilization history table T17 is then 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, a procedure for managing sterilization processing in the sterilization process 15 using the sterilization management system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 13A to 13C.

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

In step S101, a sterilizer operation screen DP1 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display device 50 by the display section 63. The operator selects one sterilizer 40 from among the plurality of sterilizers 40 displayed on the sterilizer operation screen DP1 by operating the operating 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. Note that 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 the target set ID 81A. In this embodiment, the instrument set acquisition unit 65 acquires the set ID read by the reading device 30 as the target set ID 81A.

In this 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 for the specified sterilizer 40 (see FIG. 9) ) is displayed on the display device 50. In step S103 of FIG. 13A, while the sterilization list start screen DP2 is displayed on the display device 50, the operator holds the reading device 30 over the identification mark 6 (see FIG. 1) attached to the instrument set 8, The set ID 81 recorded on the identification mark 6 is read by the reading device 30. 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. Note that 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 71 acquires the set sterilization type 83 corresponding to the target set ID 81A from the instrument set information 80 (see FIG. 4). Here, the set sterilization type 83 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is referred to as a target set sterilization type 83A. In this embodiment, the appliance set information 80 is stored in an appliance set information table T11 stored in the storage unit 61. Therefore, the first type acquisition unit 71 acquires the target set sterilization type 83A from the set sterilization type 83 based on the instrument set information table T11.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the first type acquisition unit 71 extracts the row of the set ID81 corresponding to the target set ID81A from the appliance set information table T11. Then, the first type acquisition unit 71 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. Note that the target set sterilization type 83A acquired by the first type acquisition unit 71 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S107 of FIG. 13A, the second type acquisition unit 72 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 this 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 72 acquires the target device sterilization type 93A based on the sterilizer information table T13.

Specifically, the second type acquisition unit 72 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 72 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. Note that the target device sterilization type 93A acquired by the second type acquisition unit 72 is stored in the storage unit 61.

Next, in step S109, the first determination unit 73 determines whether the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are the same. Here, it is determined whether the target set sterilization type 83A acquired in step S105 and the target device sterilization type 93A acquired in step S107 are the same. Here, if the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are the same, the determination result is set as YES and the process then proceeds to step S110.

In step S110, the sterilization list adding unit 66 adds information regarding 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, device count 162, and target set ID 81A shown in FIG. 9 are added to the sterilization list information 110 in a related manner. By being added to the sterilization list information 110 in this manner, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is added to the sterilization list L2 of 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. Note that after the process in step S110 is completed, the process advances to step S131 in FIG. 13C.

On the other hand, in step S109 of FIG. 13A, if the first determination unit 73 determines that the target set sterilization type 83A and the target device sterilization type 93A are not the same, the determination result is set as NO and the process proceeds to 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 notifying unit 74 notifies a sterilization type difference alert A10 as shown in FIG. 14. Here, the sterilization type difference alert A10 is an alert that notifies the operator that the sterilization type of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is different from the sterilization type of the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target equipment ID 91A.

In this embodiment, the first alert notification unit 74 displays on the display device 50 a first alert message screen DP61 on which a sterilization type difference alert A10 is displayed. In this 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, the alert message screen DP61 may be displayed on the display device 50 after the sterilization list start screen DP2 is hidden. After the first alert notification unit 74 notifies the sterilization type difference alert A10, the process advances to step S113 in FIG. 13B.

Note that the method by which the first alert notification unit 74 notifies the alert that the sterilization type is different is not limited to the alert message screen DP61. The first alert notification unit 74 may directly display the sterilization type difference alert A10 on the sterilization list start screen DP2, for example.

In this 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 ID81A to be sterilized using the exclusion sterilization type. On the other hand, the NO button BT52 is a button that does not permit sterilization of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID81A using the excluded sterilization type.

Here, in step S113 of FIG. 13B, it is determined whether 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, has pressed the NO button BT52, the determination result in step S113 is set as NO, and the process proceeds to step S114.

In step S114, the sterilization list adding unit 66 does not add information regarding 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 66 does not add the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. 9. That is, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target device ID 81A is managed so as not to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target device ID 91A. Note that after the process in step S114, the process advances to step S131 in FIG. 13C.

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 as YES, and 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 types other than the target set sterilization type 83A are the above-mentioned excluded sterilization types. For example, if the target set sterilization type 83A is AC sterilization, 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 has been sterilized using the excluded sterilization type. Here, the number of times sterilization is performed using the excluded sterilization type is referred to as the number of excluded sterilizations.

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

Next, in step S119, the second determination unit 78 determines whether the excluded number of sterilizations counted by the counting unit 75 is equal to or greater than the target upper limit number of sterilizations 87A. In step S119, when the second determination unit 78 determines that the excluded sterilization frequency is equal to or greater than the target upper limit sterilization frequency 87A, the determination result is set as YES and the process proceeds to step S121.

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

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

In this embodiment, a YES button BT61 is arranged on the second alert message screen DP62. When the operator presses the YES button BT61 via the operating device 55, the second alert message screen DP62 is hidden.

In this way, when the number of excluded sterilizations is equal to or greater than the target upper limit sterilization number 87A, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A cannot be sterilized with the excluded sterilization type. In this case, in step S123, the sterilization list addition unit 66 does not add information regarding 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 66 does not add the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A to the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. 9. That is, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target device ID 81A is managed so as not to be sterilized by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the target device ID 91A. After the process in step S123, the process advances to step S131 in FIG. 13C.

On the other hand, in step S119, when the second determination unit 78 determines that the excluded sterilization frequency is less than the target upper limit sterilization frequency 87A, the determination result is set as NO and the process proceeds to step S125. In step S125, the sterilization list adding unit 66 adds information regarding 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, device count 162, and target set ID 81A shown in FIG. 9 are added to the sterilization list information 110 in a related manner. By being added to the sterilization list information 110 in this manner, the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is added to the sterilization list L2 of 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. Note that after the process in step S125, the process advances to step S131 in FIG. 13C.

In this embodiment, the processing from step S103 to step 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 at once. Here, the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 shown in FIG. 9 is sterilized all at once.

Next, in step S131 of FIG. 13C, sterilization processing is started. The start management unit 67 manages the start of sterilization processing by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161. Here, when the operator presses the start button BT11 (see FIG. 9) on the sterilization list start screen DP2 via the operating device 55, the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 shown on the sterilization list start screen DP2 is selected. is activated, and it is managed that the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 is being sterilized.

In this embodiment, the start button BT11 is configured to transmit a start signal to the start management section 67 when operated via the operating device 55, that is, when pressed. When the start management unit 67 receives the start signal from the start button BT11, it manages that sterilization of the instrument set 8 based on the sterilization list information 110 has been started. Then, the start management unit 67 records the sterilization set ID 123 and the used equipment ID 125 of the sterilization history information 120 in association with the target set ID 81A and the target equipment ID 91A, respectively, and records the target set ID 81A at the sterilization start date and time 121. The date and time when sterilization of the corresponding instrument set 8 was started is recorded in association with the date and time. Here, the date and time when the start button BT11 was operated is recorded in the sterilization start date and time 121. The date and time when the start button BT11 was pressed is displayed in the sterilization start date and time 164 of the sterilization list start screen DP2 and the like. In this embodiment, when the start button BT11 is pressed, the state 97 of the sterilizer information 90 of the sterilizer information table T13, and the state 97 of the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161, is changed to the operating state S11. Ru.

Note that in this embodiment, the processes from step S103 to step S125 are repeatedly performed, so that a plurality of target set IDs 81A may exist. Therefore, the start management unit 67 records in the sterilization history information 120 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).

In step S131, it is managed that sterilization by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 has started. When the start button BT11 is pressed, the sterilization list start screen DP2 switches to the sterilization list end screen DP3 shown in FIG. 10. Thereafter, when the sterilization by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 is completed, the process of step S133 is performed next.

In step S133, the termination management unit 68 manages that the sterilization process by the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161 has been completed. Here, when 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 in the sterilization list end screen DP3 stops, and it is managed that sterilization of the instrument set 8 shown in the sterilization list L2 is completed. .

In this embodiment, the end button BT21 is configured to transmit an end signal to the end management section 68 when it is operated via the operating device 55, that is, when it is pressed. When the termination management unit 68 receives the termination signal from the termination button BT21, it manages that the sterilization of the instrument set 8 based on the sterilization list information 110 has been completed. At this time, the termination management unit 68 indicates that the sterilization of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A, in other words, the instrument set 8 in the sterilization list L2, is completed at the sterilization end date and time 122 (see FIG. 7) of the sterilization history information 120. Record the date and time of the event. Here, the date and time when the end button BT21 was operated is recorded in the sterilization end date and time 122. The date and time when the end button BT21 was pressed is displayed in the sterilization end date and time 165 on the sterilization list end screen DP3 and the like. In this embodiment, when the end button BT21 is pressed, the state 97 of the sterilizer information 90 of the sterilizer information table T13, and the state 97 of the sterilizer 40 corresponding to the device ID 161, is changed to the non-operating state S12. be done.

Note that when the end button BT21 is pressed in step S133, the sterilization list end screen DP3 is switched to the sterilization list determination screen DP4 shown in FIG. 11. Next, the process of step S135 is performed.

In step S135, the determination management unit 69 manages the sterilization results for the instrument set 8 in the sterilization list L2, which is the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A. Here, the operator determines whether or not the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A has been appropriately sterilized. Here, the instrument set 8 accommodates an indicator. This indicator is a conventionally known indicator, and for example, changes color when sterilization has been properly performed. By checking the indicators for each instrument set 8, the operator can determine whether or not the instrument set 8 has been properly sterilized.

In this embodiment, the result of sterilization of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is referred to as the target sterilization result. The determination management unit 69 records the target sterilization result of the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A, which is determined by the operator, in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120.

Here, when all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 have been properly sterilized, the operator selects the sterilizer abnormality selection button BT32 and the instrument set abnormality selection button BT33 via the operating device 55. without pressing the judgment button BT31. With this, the determination management unit 69 manages that all instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 have been appropriately sterilized. At this time, the determination management unit 69 records the target sterilization results for all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 as sterilization normal, in association with the sterilization results 128 of the sterilization history information 120. Here, the determination management unit 69 records OK indicating normal sterilization in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID 81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID 123) corresponding to all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2.

In this 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 uses the operating device 55 to and select the sterilizer abnormality selection button BT32. Thereafter, the operator presses the determination button BT31 via the operating device 55. As a result, the determination management unit 69 manages that all instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 have not been appropriately sterilized. At this time, the determination management unit 69 records the target sterilization results for all the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 as sterilization abnormalities in association with the sterilization results 128 of the sterilization history information 120. Here, the determination management unit 69 records NG indicating sterilization abnormality in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID 81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID 123) 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. Thereafter, the operator 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 this instrument set 8. Thereafter, the operator presses the determination button BT31 via the operating device 55.

As a result, the determination management unit 69 manages that the instrument set 8 selected by the operator among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 has not been appropriately sterilized. On the other hand, the determination management unit 69 manages that the instrument sets 8 not selected by the operator among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 have been appropriately sterilized.

At this time, the judgment management unit 69 records the target sterilization result for the instrument set 8 selected by the operator among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 as a sterilization abnormality in association with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. do. Here, the judgment management unit 69 records NG indicating a sterilization abnormality in the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID 81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID 123) corresponding to the instrument set 8 selected by the operator in the sterilization list L2. do. On the other hand, the determination management unit 69 determines that the target sterilization result for the instrument set 8 that was not selected by the operator among the instrument sets 8 in the sterilization list L2 is sterilized as normal, and associates it with the sterilization result 128 of the sterilization history information 120. Record. Here, the determination management unit 69 adds OK indicating normal sterilization to the sterilization result 128 of the target set ID 81A (in other words, the sterilization set ID 123) corresponding to the instrument set 8 that was not selected by the operator in the sterilization list L2. Record. In this way, the sterilization result for the instrument set 8 corresponding to the target set ID 81A is recorded in the sterilization history information 120, thereby completing the series of processes in the sterilization step 15.

As described above, in this embodiment, the sterilization management device 60 includes a memory 60a and at least one processor 60b, as shown in FIG. The memory 60a stores sterilization history information 120 (see FIG. 7) and sterilization list information (see FIG. 6).
