Description

Implant management device and information presentation device

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an implant management device, which includes a force such as a non-contact IC chip and an RFID (wireless IC tag), and is used for managing product information of an implant to be implanted in a body, and a medical device including an implant. The present invention relates to an information presenting device having a function of presenting effect disclosure information indicating an effect on the information.

Background art

[0002] Product information of implants implanted in the patient's body is stored in the medical facility where the implants have been implanted! If so, the product information of the implant can be confirmed. However, detailed product information such as the lot number of the implant is obliged to be included in the medical chart. Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the product information of the patient's own S implants without contacting the medical facility where the implant was implanted.

For this reason, when a patient undergoes a diagnosis with a medical device such as a nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) device x a computer tomography device (CT) at another medical facility, for example, the implant embedded in the body is The effect on the device may not be as strong as the medical device may not be able to be diagnosed.

[0003] Further, when a patient repeatedly undergoes an examination or treatment using an examination apparatus and a treatment apparatus, the positional relationship between the patient and the apparatus should be determined in view of the accuracy, reliability, and safety of the examination. If they need to be the same, they are now marked on the body surface with paint that is relatively resistant to falling, and their positional relationship with the equipment is adjusted by those engaged in equipment operation. However, the position changed due to the patient's breathing or the patient's body movement, and it was not possible to respond during examination or treatment.

[0004] Non-contact IC chips that do not manage implant product information but manage patient personal data have been developed.

That is, the non-contact type IC chip has a memory for storing patient's personal data and a memory for storing the data. It is equipped with a communication device for transmitting the stored personal data, and a non-contact type IC chip is formed in the shape of a finger or a finger.

This makes it possible to attach the non-contact IC chip to the patient's hands and toenails, and by reading personal data stored in the memory of the non-contact IC chip, it is possible to prevent patients from accidentally mixing up. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-311194 (paragraph numbers [0010] to [0025], FIG. 3) [0006] In conventional barcode management, information on implants embedded in the body is embedded. The patient's own medical information cannot be checked from the medical record, and there is no obligation to write information such as the lot number of the implant in the medical record. There are difficult situations to do. As a result, the information on the metals and parts used for the implant material cannot be known, so it is not possible to judge whether or not the patient can be diagnosed with medical equipment such as nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). Continuation, te, ru. One way to deal with these problems is to attach a non-contact IC chip that manages the patient's personal data to the patient's hands and toenails.

However, when a non-contact type IC chip is embedded in a patient's body or affixed to the patient's body surface, radio waves transmitted from the non-contact type IC chip are absorbed by the moisture of a living body. There was a problem that the external device could not retrieve the information stored in the non-contact type IC chip.

In addition, the surface of the non-contact type IC chip has not been devised to withstand sterilization or taken into consideration of safety to the living body (for example, measures against allergic reactions caused by the non-contact type IC chip being embedded in the body). Therefore, it cannot be attached to implants implanted in the patient's body, and cannot be used to manage implant product information.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has as its object to obtain an implant management device that can be used for managing product information of an implant. Another object of the present invention is to provide an information presenting device capable of presenting the effect of an implant on a medical device.

Disclosure of the invention [0008] An implant management device according to the present invention includes a memory for storing product information of an implant, and a communicator for transmitting radio waves indicating the product information stored in the memory, and is attached to the implant. The exterior material is coated with a biocompatible material.

In addition, a plurality of implant management members are simultaneously stored or affixed together with a seal member for sealing the entire memory or communication device.

[0009] This makes it possible to use the product information for management of implant products, so that doctors and nurses can check the product information of implants embedded in patients as necessary. There is an effect that can be. Furthermore, by constructing a database that associates UCCZEAN128 with the code system used for implant materials, it is possible to identify products embedded in the body. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not examinations such as computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be performed. . In addition, by transferring product information to these devices in advance, it is possible to eliminate the effect on image resolution, and it is expected that the reliability of image diagnosis will be significantly improved.

The implant management member can be used by being attached to the surface of a body that can be used by being implanted in the body such as subcutaneously. In this case, it can be used to prevent patients from getting mixed up during examinations and operations, and can also be used for examinations that are affected by body movements and, conversely, examinations or monitoring for body movements. For example, it can be used to monitor a bathing patient falling down in the bathroom or to grasp the behavior of a solitary elderly person.

[0010] The information presentation device according to the present invention receives the transmitted information of the implant management device, collates the information with the product information of the implant, and transmits or displays information on the effect of the implant on the medical device. It is like that.

This has the effect of enabling doctors and others to judge the necessity of examination using medical equipment such as CT and MRI.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, in order to explain this invention in greater detail, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an implant management device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an implant management device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In the figure, the implant management device is also configured with a force such as a non-contact IC chip or RFID (wireless IC tag), and is used for managing product information of implants implanted in the body.

[0013] The memory 1 is an implant to be implanted in the patient's body (an implant is a substance to be implanted in the body as a joint, spine, skull, jaw, artificial dental root, artificial heart valve, artificial blood vessel, etc., Stores product information (for example, UCC / EAN128) of plates, bolts, nuts made of synthetic resin, and materials composed of a combination of these.

[0014] From the viewpoint of preventing tampering of the product information of the implant stored in the memory 1, it is preferable to use a ROM (Read Only Memory) as the memory 1. It is desirable to use RAM (Random Access Memory) as the memory 1 so that it can appropriately record diseases, medications, and past illnesses. In the first embodiment, a RAM is used as the memory 1 for convenience of explanation.

[0015] When the antenna 2 receives the modulation signal (radio wave) from the information presenting device, which is an external device, the antenna 2 outputs the modulation signal to the power supply circuit 3 and the demodulation circuit 4, and receives the modulation signal from the modulation circuit 6, The modulated signal is transmitted to an external information presentation device.

The power supply circuit 3 incorporates, for example, a coil, and upon receiving a modulation signal from the antenna 2, converts the modulation signal into driving power and supplies the driving power to the demodulation circuit 4, the control circuit 5, and the modulation circuit 6. I do.

[0016] The demodulation circuit 4 shifts to a drivable state when supplied with driving power from the power supply circuit 3, demodulates the modulated signal received by the antenna 2, and outputs the demodulated signal to the control circuit 5. .

The control circuit 5 shifts to a drivable state when the drive power is supplied from the power supply circuit 3, and reads the demodulated signal output from the demodulation circuit 4 into the implant product information stored in the memory 1, for example. If it is a read request signal requesting, the product information of the implant stored in the memory 1 is output to the modulation circuit 6. If the demodulated signal output from the demodulation circuit 4 is, for example, a write request signal requesting writing of medical information of a patient, a write permission signal (for example, an Ack signal) for medical information is output to the modulation circuit 6. Then, when receiving the patient's medical information from the demodulation circuit 4, the medical information is stored in the memory 1.

[0017] The modulation circuit 6 shifts to a drivable state when supplied with driving power from the power supply circuit 3, and modulates the information when receiving implant product information or a write enable signal from the control circuit 5. Then, the modulated signal is transmitted to an external information presentation device via the antenna 2. Note that a communication device includes the antenna 2, the power supply circuit 3, the demodulation circuit 4, the control circuit 5, and the modulation circuit 6.

[0018] The exterior material 7 includes a memory 1, an antenna 2, a power supply circuit 3, a demodulation circuit 4, a control circuit 5, and a modulation circuit 6, and the exterior material 7 is buried or attached to the implant, Attached to the implant.

However, since implants are implanted in the patient's body, they need to be sterilized when implanted in the patient, and must also avoid adverse effects on the living body (allergic and other side effects of the implant management device on the living body). . Also, if the patient It can be thought of as a place where you can take an inspection ((MMRRII inspection)) using a co-resonance ringing device. . As a result, the pipe management equipment of the Imppra Lantoto has compatibility with living organisms, and the high-pressure and high-pressure steam Depending on the treatment of sterilizing bacteria such as sterilized bacteria and sterilized sterilized gagas, Aantante tenana 22, the power supply circuit 33, the demodulation circuit 44, and the control The circuit 55 and the modulation / modulation circuit 66 are not damaged or damaged, and the impingement of pipes and pipes affects the MMRRII inspection and inspection. In order to avoid any influence, the exterior material 77 has compatibility with living organisms and resistance to sterilizing bacteria. The component parts (hereafter referred to as the biocompatible, sterile, sterilized bacterial component parts 88) are placed here. Ruru. .

[[00001199]] In addition, the member material 88 for the sterile sterile bacterium that is suitable for living organisms is made of a material that can withstand the sterile germ treatment as described above. Because it is necessary to use safe and secure materials for the living organisms, it is necessary to use Who is suitable. . In addition, in order to suppress the absorption and absorption of electromagnetic waves by living organisms, ((Carbon carbon)) There are urethane tannins such as titanium titanate, mamagunenesaito, and shirikurikaka, etc. The best thing is to mix and mix the mixed mixed face pigment material that is mixed and mixed with polypolyurethan tan, etc. It is necessary to coat the surface with a charge. . In addition, Gogo-Tatex, or continuous polyporous polyporite, and the fibers used in suture sutures. Suitable for textile fibers (for example, for example, polypolypropropypyrylene)! ! //, ruru. .

[[00002200]] FIG. 33 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention according to the embodiment 11 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a structural diagram showing an information information presentation display device. In the drawing, an operation operation unit 1111 is used by a user. Motherboard

The control unit 12 outputs these request signals to the modulation unit 13 when the user operates the operation unit 11 to input a read request signal for implant product information and a write request signal for patient medical information. On the other hand, processing such as outputting the product information of the implant demodulated by the demodulation unit 15 to the display unit 16 is performed.

The modulator 13 modulates a request signal or the like output from the controller 12, and transmits the modulated signal to the implant management device via the antenna 14. The antenna 14 transmits and receives the modulation signal to and from the implant management device.

The demodulation unit 15 demodulates the modulated signal received by the antenna 14 and outputs a write permission signal of the product information and medical information of the implant, which is the demodulated signal, to the control unit 12.

The display unit 16 also includes a power source such as a liquid crystal display, and displays product information of the implant and the like. The memory 17 stores implant product information and the like.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing processing contents of the implant management device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is one chart.

Next, the operation will be described.

For example, when performing surgery involving bone tissue, various implants, such as metal plates, bolts, and nuts, may be implanted in a living body.

Some implants are used semi-permanently, and it is important to control the product information (e.g., material, date of manufacture, manufacturer name, etc.) of the implant. Unless recorded in medical records, there is no easy way to confirm the product information of implants implanted in the body.

Furthermore, even if there is a record at the site where the implant implantation operation is performed, emergency patients who require MRI / CT cannot be known without a patient's declaration. Such a situation is a problem in the emergency medical field.

[0023] In addition, since the implant management device can be used in close contact with the patient's body surface, it can be used for a relatively short period of time. Information can be provided to the device. As a result, the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment is improved. Also, if it is necessary to ensure the privacy of the patient, adjust the length of the antenna to adjust the readable distance. It is possible to take

[0024] Therefore, in the first embodiment, the product information of the implant is recorded in advance, and the exterior material 7 of the implant management device is coated with the biocompatible sterilizing member 8, and then the implant management device is used. I try to attach it. This case is suitable when the number of materials of the implant is small, such as a prosthetic valve or an artificial blood vessel. FIG. 5 shows an example in which an implant management device is attached to the artificial blood vessel and the bolt.

Then, the implant with the implant management device is sterilized and implanted in the patient's body!

The product information of the implant recorded in the implant management device is confirmed as follows.

[0025] For example, when it is necessary to confirm the product information of the user's implant such as a doctor or a nurse, the operating unit 11 of the information presenting device is operated to read the implant product information. Input the request signal.

When the control unit 12 of the information presenting device inputs a read request signal for the product information of the user force S implant, the control unit 12 outputs the read request signal to the modulation unit 13.

Upon receiving the read request signal from the control unit 12, the modulation unit 13 of the information presentation device modulates the read request signal into a radio wave of a frequency (for example, a frequency of 2.45 GHz) that can be received by the implant management device, and modulates the modulated signal. Is output to the antenna 14.

Here, the frequency band may be any region as long as the implant management device can receive the read request signal, and the frequency of 2.45 GHz is a general RFID. It is just a frequency increase, just a concrete example.

Thus, the modulated signal is transmitted from the antenna 14 to the implant management device.

When receiving the modulation signal from the information presentation device, the antenna 2 of the implant management device outputs the modulation signal to the power supply circuit 3 and the demodulation circuit 4 (step ST1).

Upon receiving the modulation signal from the antenna 2, the power supply circuit 3 of the implant management device converts the modulation signal into driving power, and supplies the driving power to the demodulation circuit 4, the control circuit 5, and the modulation circuit 6 ( Step ST2).

[0027] The demodulation circuit 4 of the implant management apparatus shifts to a drivable state when supplied with driving power from the power supply circuit 3, demodulates the modulated signal received by the antenna 2, and controls the demodulated signal. Output to circuit 5 (step ST3).

The control circuit 5 of the implant management device shifts to a drivable state when the driving power is supplied from the power supply circuit 3, and receives the demodulation signal power output from the demodulation circuit 4 in response to the read request signal for the product information of the implant. It is identified whether the information is a medical information write request signal or a patient's medical information (step ST4).

For example, the read request signal, the write request signal, and the header of the medical information contain information indicating the contents of the request. If the contents of the header are checked, the power of the read request signal and the written It is possible to identify whether the received signal is an input request signal or medical information.

[0028] The control circuit 5 of the implant management device controls the demodulated signal power S-in output from the demodulation circuit 4. When it is confirmed that the signal is a request signal for reading the product information of the plant, the product information of the implant stored in the memory 1 is read in advance, and the product information is output to the modulation circuit 6 (step ST5).

The modulation circuit 6 of the implant management device shifts to a drivable state when the driving power is supplied from the power supply circuit 3, and receives the product information of the implant from the control circuit 5, and the information presentation device receives the product information. The signal is modulated to a frequency of a possible frequency (for example, a frequency of 2.45 GHz), and the modulated signal is output to antenna 2 (step ST6).

As a result, the modulated signal is transmitted from antenna 2 to the information presentation device (step ST7).

[0029] The antenna 14 of the information presentation device outputs the modulated signal to the demodulation unit 15 when the implant management device receives the modulated signal.

Upon receiving the modulation signal from the antenna 14, the demodulation unit 15 of the information presentation device demodulates the modulation signal and outputs the demodulated signal, which is the product information of the implant, to the control unit 12. Upon receiving the implant product information from the demodulation unit 15, the control unit 12 of the information presentation device stores the product information in the memory 17 and displays the product information on the display unit 16. You can check product information of implants implanted in the body.

Next, an operation when a user records, for example, medical information of a patient (eg, a basic disease, a medication, a past medical condition, etc.) in the implant management device will be described.

First, the user operates the operation unit 11 of the information presentation device to input a signal for requesting writing of medical information of a patient.

When the user inputs a medical information write request signal, the control unit 12 of the information presentation device outputs the write request signal to the modulation unit 13.

Upon receiving the write request signal from the control unit 12, the modulation unit 13 of the information presentation device modulates the write request signal into a radio wave of a frequency that can be received by the implant management device, and outputs the modulated signal to the antenna 14. .

As a result, the modulated signal is transmitted from the antenna 14 to the implant management device. It is.

[0031] Upon receiving the modulation signal from the information presentation device, the antenna 2 of the implant management device outputs the modulation signal to the power supply circuit 3 and the demodulation circuit 4 (step ST1).

[0032] The demodulation circuit 4 of the implant management device shifts to a drivable state when supplied with driving power from the power supply circuit 3, demodulates the modulated signal received by the antenna 2, and controls the demodulated signal. Output to circuit 5 (step ST3).

When the control circuit 5 of the implant management device confirms that the demodulated signal output from the demodulation circuit 4 is a medical information write request signal, the control circuit 5 outputs the medical information write enable signal to the modulation circuit 6 Yes (step ST8).

The modulation circuit 6 of the implant management device shifts to a drivable state when the driving power is supplied from the power supply circuit 3, and receives a medical information write enable signal from the control circuit 5, and outputs the write enable signal. The signal is modulated into radio waves of a frequency that can be received by the information presentation device, and the modulated signal is output to antenna 2 (step ST9).

As a result, the modulated signal is transmitted from the antenna 2 to the information presentation device (step ST10).

When the antenna 14 of the information presentation device receives the modulation signal from the implant management device, the antenna 14 outputs the modulation signal to the demodulation unit 15.

When receiving the modulation signal from the antenna 14, the demodulation unit 15 of the information presentation device demodulates the modulation signal and outputs a write permission signal of the demodulated medical information to the control unit 12. Upon receiving the write permission signal for medical information from the demodulation unit 15, the control unit 12 of the information presentation device receives the medical information of the patient input from the operation unit 11 or the patient information stored in the memory 17. It outputs the medical information of the patient to the modulator 13.

Upon receiving the patient's medical information from the control unit 12, the modulation unit 13 of the information presentation device modulates the patient's medical information into radio waves of a frequency that can be received by the implant management device, and outputs the modulated signal to the antenna 14. I do.

When receiving the modulation signal from the information presenting device, the antenna 2 of the implant management device outputs the modulation signal to the power supply circuit 3 and the demodulation circuit 4 (step ST1).

[0036] The demodulation circuit 4 of the implant management device shifts to a drivable state when supplied with driving power from the power supply circuit 3, demodulates the modulated signal received by the antenna 2, and controls the demodulated signal. Output to circuit 5 (step ST3).

When confirming that the demodulated signal output from the demodulation circuit 4 is the medical information of the patient, the control circuit 5 of the implant management device stores the medical information of the patient in the memory 1 (step ST11).

As is clear from the above, according to the first embodiment, the memory 1 for storing the product information of the implant, and the communication device for transmitting radio waves indicating the product information stored in the memory 1 And the outer material 7 attached to the implant is coated with a biocompatible sterilizing member 8, so that it can be used for managing the product information of the implant. And nurses can check product information of implants embedded in the patient's body as needed.

Further, according to the first embodiment, the radio wave transmitted from the information presenting device is received and transmitted. Since the information indicated by the radio wave is stored in the memory 1, for example, the medical information of the patient can be appropriately recorded.

[0038] Embodiment 2.

In the first embodiment, when the information presenting device records the medical information of the patient in the implant management device, the information presenting device transmits a write request signal of the medical information to the implant management device, and the medical information is transmitted from the implant management device. In the above description, when the write permission signal is received, the medical information of the patient is transmitted to the implant management apparatus. However, the information presenting apparatus transmits a write request signal to which the medical information is added to the implant management apparatus. You may do it. If necessary, the information may be encrypted, and the information presenting device may decrypt the information and convert it to character information.

In this case, when the control circuit 5 of the implant management device confirms that the demodulated signal output from the demodulation circuit 4 is a write request signal to which medical information is added, the control circuit 5 Retrieve medical information and store it in memory 1. Thus, the number of times of communication is only one, so that the medical information of the patient can be recorded in the implant management device more quickly than in the first embodiment.
