DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
DISPOSITIVO CON CIERRE ELECTROMECÁNICO PARA LA DISTRIBUCIÓN SEGURA DE SANGRE O HEMOCOMPONENTES.DEVICE WITH ELECTROMECHANICAL CLOSURE FOR THE SAFE DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD OR HEMOCOMPONENTS.
Objeto de Ia invenciónObject of the invention
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo con cierre electromecánico para Ia distribución segura de sangre o hemocomponentes, aplicable preferentemente en centros hospitalarios.The present invention relates to a device with electromechanical closure for the safe distribution of blood or blood components, preferably applicable in hospital centers.
Antecedentes de Ia invención.Background of the invention.
En los hospitales y centros de salud, donde se realizan suministros de hemocomponentes y de fármacos para las terapias a pacientes, es muy importante asegurar que el hemocomponente se suministra al paciente correcto. El control de estos procesos es siempre delicado, especialmente en hospitales con un elevado número de pacientes.In hospitals and health centers, where supplies of blood components and drugs are made for patient therapies, it is very important to ensure that the blood component is supplied to the correct patient. The control of these processes is always delicate, especially in hospitals with a high number of patients.
En estos centros es habitual que las bolsas de sangre o los hemocomponentes sean trasladadas por el personal sanitario hasta Ia habitación del paciente, pudiendo producirse errores que conllevan Ia transfusión de sangre o hemocomponentes a un paciente equivocado con el consiguiente riesgo para Ia salud.In these centers it is customary for blood bags or blood components to be transferred by the healthcare staff to the patient's room, and errors may occur that involve the transfusion of blood or blood components to a wrong patient with the consequent health risk.
Un sistema utilizado para Ia identificación de Ia sangre o los hemocomponentes a aplicar a un paciente, comprende el uso de una identificación del paciente en Ia cabecera de Ia cama, Ia cual se anota en unas etiquetas que se pegan sobre los envases de muestras que se envían al banco de sangre. En el banco de sangre, tras Ia realización de los análisis correspondientes, se suministran los hemocomponentes al personal que los solicitó, o desde el servicio de farmacia los fármacos solicitados, adjuntando un código de seguimiento de dichos hemocomponentes. El personal sanitario que recibe los hemocomponentes o fármacos generalmente puede tener a su cargo varios pacientes y realiza Ia administración de los mismos cotejando los códigos suministrados, realizando un informe si aparecen incidencias o problemas. Normalmente el apunte de estos códigos se realiza a mano, con Io que existe el problema de que las personas que intervienen en los sucesivos pasos se equivoquen al leer los códigos, o cambien inadvertidamente los envases utilizados con el consiguiente riesgo para Ia salud del paciente.A system used for the identification of the blood or blood components to be applied to a patient, includes the use of an identification of the patient in the head of the bed, which is noted on labels that are attached to the sample containers that are They send to the blood bank. In the blood bank, after carrying out the corresponding analyzes, the blood components are supplied to the staff that requested them, or from the pharmacy service the drugs requested, attaching a follow-up code of said blood components. The health personnel who receive the blood components or drugs can usually be in charge of several patients and perform the administration of the same by comparing the codes supplied, making a report if incidents or problems appear. Normally the entry of these codes is done by hand, so there is a problem that people who intervene in the successive steps are wrong to read the codes, or inadvertently change the containers used with the consequent risk to the patient's health.
Una alternativa de realización es el uso de una pulsera con una pluralidad de etiquetas autoadhesivas para Ia recepción de códigos impresos, una zona escribible para colocar el nombre del paciente y con el código de las etiquetas y un mecanismo de cierre fácil. Esta pulsera se coloca al paciente en Ia muñeca y se identifican los envases de muestras con las etiquetas autoadhesivas. Sin embargo existe el problema de Ia recepción de los hemocomponentes o fármacos, ya que el personal que realiza Ia administración debe leer visualmente el código numérico adjunto al código de barras, con el problema de que se produzca un error de lectura de un dato tan abstracto.An alternative embodiment is the use of a bracelet with a plurality of self-adhesive labels for the reception of printed codes, a writable area to place the patient's name and with the code of the labels and an easy closing mechanism. This bracelet is placed on the patient's wrist and the sample containers are identified with the self-adhesive labels. However, there is the problem of the reception of blood components or drugs, since the personnel performing the administration must visually read the numerical code attached to the bar code, with the problem of an error of reading such abstract data. .
Existen otros sistemas basados en Ia utilización de ordenadores de mano por parte del personal sanitario en todos los pasos del método transfusional, con Io que Ia identificación del paciente no se realiza sobre Ia muestra, sino en Ia red informática. Este sistema es mucho más seguro y objetivo, sin embargo su coste de instalación es mucho más elevado y su manejo más complejo, al obligar al personal sanitario a aprender aplicaciones informáticas más o menos complejas. Además, en servicios tales como urgencias o quirófanos, Ia agilidad y sencillez de uso es primordial y por Io tanto no se pueden utilizar sistemas engorrosos al usuario sanitario.There are other systems based on the use of handheld computers by health personnel in all the steps of the transfusion method, so that the identification of the patient is not performed on the sample, but on the computer network. This system is much safer and objective, however its installation cost is much higher and its management more complex, forcing health workers to learn more or less complex computer applications. In addition, in services such as emergencies or operating rooms, agility and simplicity of use is paramount and therefore it is not possible to use cumbersome systems for the healthcare user.
Por tanto el problema que se plantea es el desarrollo de un dispositivo con cierre electromecánico para Ia distribución segura de sangre, cuya apertura requiera Ia introducción de unos códigos determinados, asignados previamente y de forma biunívoca al paciente correspondiente, evitando que Ia sangre transportada en el mencionado dispositivo pueda ser asignada por error a otro paciente. Descripción de Ia invenciónTherefore the problem that arises is the development of a device with electromechanical closure for the safe distribution of blood, whose opening requires the introduction of certain codes, previously assigned and biunivocally to the corresponding patient, preventing the blood transported in the Said device may be assigned by mistake to another patient.
