Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING AND MANAGING X-RAY CASSETTE [0002]

The present invention relates to an apparatus for disinfecting and managing an X-ray cassette.

In recent years, the market for ultraviolet and sterilizing sterilizers has been expanding in the medical industry, and the need for disinfection has been increasing in medical institutions as the awareness of infections has increased. Typical medical ultraviolet sterilizers may refer to ultraviolet light and sterilizers, such as surgical instruments, endoscopes, and medical devices. Ultraviolet disinfector can sterilize harmful bacteria (99.9% disinfection) within a short time with the maximum cost of sterilization effect at a low cost, and is easy to install and low cost.

The sterilizer increases the sterilizing effect through the ion gas, disinfects the part that is not sterilized by ultraviolet rays, and has an advantage of being sterilized by high temperature, high pressure and cold temperature.

In general, IP cassettes used for X-ray imaging are used in almost all hospitals such as private hospitals, general hospitals, and university hospitals. However, most hospitals do not perform sterilization / disinfection of the IP cassette every time, which is why it is now a condition to infect other patients with disease. In addition, the company manages and manages high-priced IP cassettes, each of which costs between US $ 50 and 1,000,000 per unit, by hand. That is, it is difficult to confirm whether the IP cassette is lost or not because it is written by hand.

More specifically, it is known that harmful bacteria such as methicillin-resistant bacteria, MRSA and Staphylococcus aureus are detected in the IP cassette. There is a problem that the patients and workers can not secure the hygiene of patients and workers because of these harmful bacteria, the patients whose immunity is decreased can not be treated with peace of mind, and the workers exposed most to the bacteria can not work with confidence.

In addition, it is impossible to systematically manage and store an expensive cassette of an expensive cassette, the volume of an IP cassette is checked every time, the loss of the cassette is checked, and the cassette is managed as a book. Particularly, when the defect of the IP cassette is detected as a defect or a defect is found or a book is lost, the defect is not properly transmitted to the next person, so that the image quality deteriorates due to the use of the defective IP cassette and a troublesome problem occurs.
