Description

DescrigaoDescription

DISPOSITIVO DE DUPLA VERIFICACAO ATRAVÉS DE GRAVACAO DIGITAL E RECONHECIMENTO DE IMAGEM A manipulagáo de substancias perigosas envolve riscos para o meio ambiente e especialmente para o operador que as manipula. Além disso em manipulagóes sensiveis como o fabrico de medicamentos esses perigos podem ser transferidos para o doente onde o medicamento é administrado. Assim na maior parte dos procedimentos farmacéuticos onde o risco é elevado todas as operagóes sao sujeitas a dupla verificagao presencial, que significa ter um farmacéutico para manipular e produzir o medicamento e um segundo que verifica todo o procedimento. Este segundo operador tem como fungao monitorizar todas as quantidades e substancias introduzidas no produto final.DOUBLE-VERIFICATION DEVICE THROUGH DIGITAL RECORDING AND IMAGE RECOGNITION Handling of hazardous substances involves risks to the environment and especially to the operator who handles them. Furthermore in sensitive manipulations such as the manufacture of medicaments such hazards can be transferred to the patient where the medicament is administered. Thus in most pharmaceutical procedures where the risk is high, all operations are subject to double face-to-face verification, which means having a pharmacist to handle and produce the drug and a second that verifies the whole procedure. This second operator has as a function of monitoring all quantities and substances introduced into the final product.

Um dos procedimentos mais conhecidos e perigosos é na preparagáo de medicamentos citotóxicos (medicamentos para doengas oncológicas), estes medicamentos seguem procedimentos de seguranga muito rigorosos urna vez que um erro na preparagao dos mesmos tem consequéncias muito graves.One of the most known and dangerous procedures is in the preparation of cytotoxic drugs (medicines for cancer patients), these drugs follow very strict safety procedures since an error in the preparation of them has very serious consequences.

Além disso este tipo de preparagóes expóem os operadores a grandes riscos para a saúde pois quase todas as substancias sao nocivas e até radioativas em alguns casos. 0 sistema descrito tem como fungao principal a eliminagao do erro dos procedimentos de fabrico de forma a garantir a máxima precisao durante as preparagóes, mas também minimizar o risco dos trabalhadores destas áreas, pois retira a necessidade de ter um operador de monitorizagáo do procedimento.In addition, such preparations expose operators to major health risks since almost all substances are harmful and even radioactive in some cases. The main function of the system described is to eliminate the error of the manufacturing procedures in order to ensure maximum accuracy during the prepara- tions, but also to minimize the risk of the workers in these areas, since it eliminates the need to have an operator to monitor the procedure.

Este sistema é composto por um conjunto de dispositivos eletrónicos que substituem o operador de verificagao. 0 primeiro equipamento é um sistema miniaturizado de filmagem (figura 1) que está montado numa haste semelhante a uns óculos este equipamento dispóe de urna camara digital, dispositivo de captagao de som, arquivo e armazenamento. A figura 1 mostra o equipamento de aquisigáo, que dispóe de urna unidade de armazenamento e/ou processamento (1) e urna camara de video (2).This system consists of a set of electronic devices that replace the verification operator. The first equipment is a miniaturized filming system (Figure 1) which is mounted on a rod similar to a pair of glasses. This equipment is equipped with a digital camera, sound pick-up device, file and storage. Figure 1 shows the acquisition equipment, which has a storage and / or processing unit (1) and a video camera (2).

Quando o operador entra na camara de preparagáo transporta com ele este equipamento e dado o nivel de miniaturizagáo este nao interfere com a operagáo, podendo mesmo ser colocada urna viseira na face do operador.When the operator enters the preparation chamber he carries this equipment with him and given the level of miniaturization it does not interfere with the operation, and a visor can even be placed on the face of the operator.

Para além disso, o operador transportará um ou mais códigos 2D (Figura 3; 5) que serviráo para este sempre que necessita de sinalizar o inicio, fim ou introdugao de urna nova substancia apenas terá que aproximar estes códigos no seu campo de visáo.In addition, the operator will carry one or more 2D codes (Figure 3; 5) that will serve for him whenever he needs to signal the start, finish or introduction of a new substance only have to approximate these codes in his field of vision.

Estes códigos podem ser impressos em papel ou outro material de forma a serem destruidos logo após a operagao de preparagao para evitar a contaminagao radioativa e/ou química.These codes may be printed on paper or other material so as to be destroyed shortly after the preparation operation to avoid radioactive and / or chemical contamination.

Concluida preparagao o equipamento é desligado e sairá do ambiente controlado, será entáo ligado ao equipamento de verificagáo que transiere o conteúdo para a unidade de processamento (4), esta unidade irá fazer o processamento e reconhecimento de todos os elementos visuais passiveis de ser reconhecidos como códigos 2D, códigos de barras, etc. A unidade de processamento (4) de vídeo representada pela Figura 2, dispóe de urna unidade de processamento de vídeo (4) e urna unidade de armazenamento digital que poderá ser amovível (3). 0 sistema de processamento Figura 1-3 poderá estar integrado na própria unidade móvel, dependendo apenas se o processo necessita de ser verificado em tempo real.Upon completion of the preparation, the equipment is switched off and out of the controlled environment, it will then be connected to the verification equipment that transports the contents to the processing unit (4), this unit will process and recognize all visible visual elements to be recognized as 2D codes, bar codes, etc. The video processing unit 4 represented by Figure 2, has a video processing unit 4 and a digital storage unit which may be removable 3. The processing system Figure 1-3 may be integrated into the mobile unit itself depending only on whether the process needs to be verified in real time.

Durante o processo, sempre que o operador dá um passo critico no processo terá que colocar no campo de visáo o código 2D para que o tempo de gravagáo seja automáticamente armazenada e referenciada a um passo critico.During the process, whenever the operator takes a critical step in the process, the 2D code must be placed in the field of view so that the recording time is automatically stored and referenced at a critical step.

Caso existam frascos e/ou produtos que contenham códigos 2D/3D ñas suas embalagens bastará coloca-los no campo de visáo para serem automáticamente reconhecidos e referenciados/verificados automáticamente.If there are bottles and / or products containing 2D / 3D codes in their packaging, it is sufficient to place them in the field of view to be automatically recognized and referenced / verified automatically.

Estes elementos seráo relacionados com a posigáo temporal das imagens vídeo e seráo utilizados para o utilizador verificar os pontos críticos da preparagáo de forma rápida e segura.These elements will be related to the temporal position of the video images and will be used for the user to check the critical points of the preparation quickly and safely.

Após ou mesmo durante o processo de fabrico, o operador de verificagáo que está fora do ambiente de produgáo irá verificar através das imagens vídeo e poderá selecionar as imagens onde estáo os pontos críticos, através da referenciagáo do tempo de gravagáo detetada com os códigos 2D. O dispositivo de leitura Fig. 3 torna possível fazer a consulta através de eventos marcados por códigos 2D/3D e/ou barras colocados no campo de visáo do agente de preparagáo. 0 sistema de dupla verificagáo permite o operador visualizar informagao adicional contida nos códigos sobre a imagem de forma a poder certificar-se que o processo está a decorrer com normalidade. A figura 4 mostra os eventos (6) e (7) cujo o tempo foi referenciado com um código 2D colocado no campo de visáo do dispositivo de aquisigáo.After or even during the manufacturing process, the verification operator outside the production environment will check through the video images and can select the images where the critical points are located by referencing the recording time detected with the 2D codes. The reading device Fig. 3 makes it possible to query through events marked by 2D / 3D codes and / or bars placed in the field of view of the preparation agent. The double-checking system allows the operator to view additional information contained in the codes on the image so as to be able to make sure that the process is running normally. Figure 4 shows the events (6) and (7) whose time was referenced with a 2D code placed in the field of view of the acquisition device.

Com este equipamento o agente de verificagáo nunca é exposto ao risco evitando qualquer contacto com as substancias perigosas.With this equipment the checking agent is never exposed to the risk avoiding any contact with the dangerous substances.
