Description

Beskyttelsesanordning for å forebygge smittespredning ved temperaturtagning på pasienter ved hjelp av febertermometer. Protective device to prevent the spread of infection when taking the temperature of patients using a fever thermometer.

Nærværende oppfinnelse angår en beskyttelsesanordning for å forebygge smittespredning ved temperaturtagning på pasienter ved hjelp av febertermometer, spesielt på sykehus. The present invention relates to a protective device for preventing the spread of infection when taking the temperature of patients using a fever thermometer, especially in hospitals.

Det vanlig brukte febertermometer av glass hvor den fremre del inneholder temperaturtolsom væske, som ved oppvarmning utvider seg mere enn det omgivende glassmateriale, utgjor en uunnværlig del av det kliniske utstyr og synes å hevde sin stilling godt som et verdifullt diagnostiseringsmiddel. Imidlertid innebærer bruken av slike febertermometre som bekjent en stor fare for smittespredning, ettersom termo-metrene ikke kan steriliseres ved kokning, men må rengjores vedavtorkning samt behandling og oppbevaring i desinfeksjons-yæsker, hvilket ikke alltid gir en fullgod beskyttelse mot The commonly used glass fever thermometer, where the front part contains temperature-sensitive liquid, which when heated expands more than the surrounding glass material, forms an indispensable part of the clinical equipment and seems to assert its position well as a valuable diagnostic tool. However, as is well known, the use of such fever thermometers entails a great danger of the spread of infection, as the thermometers cannot be sterilized by boiling, but must be cleaned by drying as well as treatment and storage in disinfection boxes, which does not always provide adequate protection against

smitte. Foruten smittefaren medfbrer bruken av slike, Kfr. kl. 30a-19/01 infect. In addition to the risk of infection, the use of such entails, Cf. at 30a-19/01

desinfeksjonsmetoder et betydelig arbeide for sykehusperson-alet og meget folbare utgifter til desinfeksjonsvæsker. Man har derfor foreslått at termometret for temperaturtagningen fores inn i en tynn, poseliknende hylse eller hylster av gjennomskinnelig materiale, f.eks. plast, for på denne måte dels å beskytte pasienten mot infeksjon og dels unngå at selve termometret blir infisert i en kroppshulhet hos Disinfection methods are a significant task for the hospital staff and very manageable expenses for disinfectant liquids. It has therefore been suggested that the thermometer for taking the temperature be placed in a thin, bag-like sleeve or sleeve made of translucent material, e.g. plastic, in this way partly to protect the patient against infection and partly to avoid the thermometer itself becoming infected in a body cavity of

pasienten i forbindelse med temperaturtagningen. For å kunne fjerne hylsen fra termometret etter at temperaturen er tatt, uten å behbve å ta i hylsen, er det ved en kjent anordning foreslått å feste en tråd til innsiden av hylsens tillukkedé ende, hvilken tråd strekker seg fritt gjennom hylsen i dennes lengderetning og ut gjennom dens åpne ende. Det ér imidlertid klart at selv en slik anordning innebærer betydelige farer for smittespredniig. Dels kan jo den utstikkende trådende bli forurenset ved temperaturtagningen, og dels kan den som tar temperaturen, f.eks. sykepassersken, ved avvrengning av hylsen komme borti denne og således bli smittebærende. the patient in connection with taking the temperature. In order to be able to remove the sleeve from the thermometer after the temperature has been taken, without having to touch the sleeve, it is proposed by a known device to attach a thread to the inside of the sleeve's closing end, which thread extends freely through the sleeve in its longitudinal direction and out through its open end. However, it is clear that even such a device entails significant risks for the spread of infection. Partly the protruding wire end can become contaminated during the temperature measurement, and partly the person taking the temperature, e.g. the nurse, when turning the sleeve, come into contact with it and thus become infected.

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse baserer seg på den tanke at såfremt en slik anordning for forebyggelse av smittespredning ved temperaturtagning virkelig skal være effektiv, må den dels kunne gi fullgod beskyttelse mot at termometret infiseres, dels må den V«re slik beskaffen at pasienten beskyttes mot infeksjon og tilslutt må den tillate at såvel temperatur-avlesning som annen håndtering av termometret etter temperaturtagningen muliggjores uten fare for vedkommende, f.eks. sykesøsteren eller -assistenten, å komme i kontakt med forurensede steder. The present invention is based on the idea that if such a device for preventing the spread of infection when taking temperatures is really to be effective, it must partly be able to provide adequate protection against the thermometer becoming infected, and partly it must be such that the patient is protected against infection and finally, it must allow both temperature reading and other handling of the thermometer after the temperature has been taken to be possible without danger to the person concerned, e.g. the nurse or assistant, to come into contact with contaminated places.

Dette er ifolge oppfinnelsen oppnådd ved at nevnte anordning består av to beskyttelseshylser for termometret, nemlig, 1) en indre hylse som omgir termometret når dette fores inn According to the invention, this is achieved by the said device consisting of two protective sleeves for the thermometer, namely, 1) an inner sleeve that surrounds the thermometer when it is inserted

i en kroppshulhet for temperaturtagning, som er fremstilt helt eller delvis av gjennomsiktig plast, og som har en lukket og en åpen ende, hvor den åpne enden for å lette innfbringen av termometret består av to fliker eller tunger som kan brettes fra hverandre og som fortrinnsvis er ulike lange, og hvor den lukkede delen helt eller delvis er belagt utvendig med et tynt sjikt av et desinfiserende middel, og 2) en ytre hylse av plast, som også har en apen og én lukket ende, hvor den åpne enden består av to fortrinnsvis ulike in a body cavity for taking temperature, which is made wholly or partly of transparent plastic, and which has a closed and an open end, where the open end to facilitate the introduction of the thermometer consists of two flaps or tongues which can be folded apart and which preferably are different lengths, and where the closed part is completely or partially coated on the outside with a thin layer of a disinfectant, and 2) an outer sleeve made of plastic, which also has an open end and one closed end, where the open end consists of two preferably different

lange fliker eller tunger som kan brettes fra hverandre, og som tjener som oppbevaringshylster for termometret for bruk, og som termometret med den indre hylse kan fores tilbake i etter bruk. long flaps or tongues which can be folded apart, and which serve as storage cases for the thermometer before use, and into which the thermometer with the inner case can be reinserted after use.

Oppfinnelsen vil i det folgende bli nærmere forklart under henvisning til tegningene. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 viser den indre beskyttelseshylse. Fig. 2 viser den ytre beskyttelseshylse med en i denne innfort indre beskyttelseshylse, likesom enden på termometret er innfort mellom flikene på den indre hylse. Fig. 3 viser den ytre hylse med en i denne innfort hylse, hvori befinner seg et termometer. Fig. 4 viser den ytre hylse med den indre hylse, som inneholder termometret, delvis uttrukket, og fig. 5 viser den ytre hylse med den inne i samme liggende indre hylse under deres fjernelse etter temperaturtagningen og -avlesningen. Fig. 1 shows the inner protective sleeve. Fig. 2 shows the outer protective sleeve with an inner protective sleeve inserted in it, just as the end of the thermometer is inserted between the tabs on the inner sleeve. Fig. 3 shows the outer sleeve with a sleeve inserted in it, in which there is a thermometer. Fig. 4 shows the outer sleeve with the inner sleeve, which contains the thermometer, partially pulled out, and fig. 5 shows the outer sleeve with it inside the same lying inner sleeve during their removal after the temperature taking and reading.

Den i fig. 1 viste indre beskyttelseshylse har en fremre mykere del a og en bakre stivere del b. Den fremre del a er tilnærm-elsesvis avpasset etter formen på termometret og dannes i det viste utforelseseksempel av to plastremser, som er sammen-festet med en sveisesom f. Den bakre del er utfort av plast med passende stivhet og består av et ovre, litt mindre stykke samt et undre, litt bredere stykke, slik at der dannes to fliker eller tunger, hvorav den ene rager utenfor den andre, The one in fig. The inner protective sleeve shown in 1 has a front softer part a and a rear stiffer part b. The front part a is approximately adapted to the shape of the thermometer and is formed in the embodiment shown by two plastic strips, which are joined together by a weld seam f. The rear part is made of plastic with suitable stiffness and consists of an upper, slightly smaller piece and a lower, slightly wider piece, so that two tabs or tongues are formed, one of which protrudes beyond the other,

og som sammenholdes ved sommer d eller liknende. Ved at den således dannede mansjett har en flik som rekker utenfor den andre, lettes innføringen av termometret. Den fremre mykere del a er på sin fremre halvdel på inn- og utsiden forsynt med et tynt sjikt av en glidesubstans c i form av en desinfiserende salve. and which are combined at summer d or similar. By the fact that the thus formed cuff has a flap that extends beyond the other, the insertion of the thermometer is facilitated. The front softer part a is provided on its front half on the inside and outside with a thin layer of a sliding substance c in the form of a disinfecting ointment.

For å beskytte innerhylsen mot forurensning eller infeksjon for bruken ved temperaturtagningen, samt for å beskytte om-givelsene fra å forurenses av nevnte hylse etter temperaturtagningen, benyttes en ytterhylse g for innerhylsen a,b. Hen-siktsmessig fores innerhylsen a,b inn i ytterhylsen g allerede under fremstillingen, slik at man får en beskyttelsesanordning for termometret som den i fig. 2 viste. I fig. 2 er man nettopp i ferd med å fore et termometer med dets fremre del e inn i den av hylsene g og a,b bestående beskyttelsesanordning. I fig. 3 er denne beskyttelsesanordning g,a,b vist med et In order to protect the inner sleeve from contamination or infection for use during the temperature measurement, as well as to protect the surroundings from being contaminated by said sleeve after the temperature measurement, an outer sleeve g is used for the inner sleeve a,b. Expediently, the inner sleeve a,b is inserted into the outer sleeve g already during manufacture, so that a protective device for the thermometer such as the one in fig. 2 showed. In fig. 2, one is just in the process of inserting a thermometer with its front part e into the protective device consisting of sleeves g and a,b. In fig. 3, this protection device g,a,b is shown with a

Claims

the temperature defogging protection device on the patient's bedside table. In the embodiment shown, the outer sleeve g has a transparent part in the form of a window, through which part of the inner sleeve and the temperature scale can be seen. When the temperature is to be taken, one pulls the inner sleeve a, b together with the thermometer lying in it out of the outer protective sleeve g, by holding the outer sleeve g with the left hand and grasping around the rear, stiffer part of the inner sleeve b and the thermometer at the same time with the right hand (see fig. 4). The thermometer protected by the inner sleeve is then inserted into the patient's body. After the temperature has been taken, the inner sleeve a,b together with the thermometer are fed back into the outer sleeve g in the same way. As can be seen, the outer side of the outer sleeve below cannot come into contact with the contaminated inner sleeve. In fig. 5 shows how the entire protective device, i.e. Both the outer sleeve g and the inner sleeve a,b are removed from the thermometer to be dismantled. The thermometer then only needs to be rinsed in cold water, knocked down (thereby bringing the surface of the temperature sensitive liquid below a certain temperature value) and placed in a suitable disinfectant liquid. As can be seen from fig. 2, 3, 4 and 5, the slots g of the outer sleeve facilitate the insertion of the thermometer into the inner sleeve a,b and also the insertion of the inner sleeve a,b together with the thermometer into the outer protective sleeve. Patent claim: Protective device for preventing the spread of infection when taking the temperature of patients using a fever thermometer, characterized in that said device consists of two protective sleeves for the thermometer, namely, 1) an inner sleeve (a,b) which surrounds the thermometer when it is inserted into a body cavity for temperature taking, which is made wholly or partly of transparent plastic, and which has a closed and an open end, where the open end to facilitate the insertion of the thermometer consists of two tabs or tongues which can be folded apart and which are preferably of different lengths , and where the closed part is completely or partially coated on the outside with a thin layer of a disinfectant, And 2) an outer sleeve (g) made of plastic, which also has an open and a closed end, where the open end consists of two preferably different long tabs or tongues which can be folded apart, and which serve as storage cases for the thermometer for use,

and into which the thermometer with the inner sleeve can be put back after use.
