Method and device for detecting abnormal state of medical container

The present invention relates to a method and a device for detecting an abnormal state of a medical container, and particularly relates to a method for measuring the abnormal state of a medical container by measuring the weight and tilt state of the medical container, thereby immediately notifying the medical staff of the method of treatment. And equipment.

At present, patients who use medical containers such as drip bottles, urine bags, etc., need to rely on the regular or irregular observation of the amount of the drug in the vial, the flow rate of the drug, or the amount of urine in the urine bag, etc. situation.

However, the above methods need to rely on manpower to move around to check the use status of various medical containers. This is not only easy to disturb the rest of the patients, but also often causes the caregivers to suffer from human error due to innocent rest and mental discomfort, resulting in low medical quality. .

Based on the above-mentioned deficiencies, the inventor has proposed the creation of the "Urine Volume Measurement Warning Device" of the Republic of China Patent No. M446636, which mainly uses a urine metering module to detect the urine volume of a patient's urine bag to obtain a urine. Quantitative data, and use a control module to set an expected amount of urine data, by comparing the match between the two as a warning output warning basis, thereby automatically monitoring the urine volume of the urine bag The purpose, without relying on human observation, to avoid human error in the urine volume data, to achieve the function of improving the diagnostic accuracy, and to prevent the caregiver from walking around and disturbing the patient's rest, and can improve the medical quality.

The inventor further proposed the creation of the "Drip Flow Detection Warning Device" of the Republic of China Patent No. M445446, which uses a weight sensor to detect the weight change of the drip bottle (bag) and then treats it by one. The unit converts the detected weight change per unit time into a flow rate, and when the flow rate of the medicine in the drip is abnormal, the medical staff can be immediately notified to the immediate treatment.

The inventor further found that when the patient is in a state of physical discomfort, there is often a situation of turning over, tremors, and possibly even falling. If the patient is elderly or weak, the patient is often unable to actively notify the medical staff. There are cases of medical treatment for unfavorable patients.

Accordingly, the medical container based on the aforementioned drip bottle, urine bag, and the like is connected to the patient's body, so that when the patient turns over or trembles, the medical container is pulled at the same time to cause tilting. The present invention further informs the medical staff to assist in the treatment by detecting the tilt state of the medical container.

According to the above description, the present invention provides a method for detecting an abnormal state of a medical container, comprising the following steps: A. using a weight detecting unit to detect the weight of a medical container connected to a patient's body, and calculating and storing the data as a content change state, and detecting the medical container by a tilt detecting unit The tilt state, and the operation processing is stored as a tilt state data; B. receiving, by a control unit, the content change state data and the tilt state data; C. the control unit further comparing the content change state data with a set comparison data Aligning, and starting a warning unit when the comparison result is different from the expected result; or starting the warning unit when the tilt state data is different from a starting tilt state data.

Further, in step C, a wireless transmission unit is used to send an alert signal to a monitoring platform.

Further, when the medical container is a drip bottle, the content change state data is the medicine flow rate data in the drip bottle, and the set comparison data is set flow rate data, and in step C, when the medicine in the drip bottle When the flow rate data does not match the previously set flow rate data, the above control The unit activates the aforementioned warning unit. Alternatively, when the medical container is a urine bag, the content change state data is the urine amount data of the urine bag, and the set comparison data is the expected urine amount data, and in the step C, when the urine bag is used When the urine amount data matches the aforementioned expected urine amount data, the aforementioned control unit activates the aforementioned warning unit.

The invention further provides an abnormal state detecting device for a medical container, which is implemented with a medical container, comprising: a control unit storing a set comparison data; a weight detecting unit connecting the medical container and the electric device The foregoing control unit is configured to detect the weight of the medical container, and obtain a content change state data, and input the content change state data into the control unit; a tilt detecting unit electrically connected to the foregoing The control unit is configured to detect the tilt state of the medical container, calculate and obtain a tilt state data, and input the tilt state data into the control unit; and an alert unit electrically connected to the control unit.

Further, the control unit, the weight detecting unit, the tilt detecting unit and the warning unit are integrated on a casing, and the weight detecting unit has a first hook protruding outside the casing. And a second hook is further disposed on the housing relative to the first hook position.

Further, a wireless transmission unit is electrically connected to the foregoing control unit.

The effect of the invention is:

1. The present invention detects the increase or decrease of the contents of the medical container such as the amount of change in urine in the urine bag or the amount of change in the drug in the drip bottle, and the tilting state in which the medical container such as the urine bag or the drip bottle is pulled. To determine the current condition of the patient, and immediately notify the medical staff to assist in the treatment.

2. The hook is hung by the hook shape of the second hook, which has the characteristics of convenient hanging, and the shell can be hung on any frame body, bed edge and the like having a protruding portion.
