DISPOSITIVO PARA EL LAVADO DE MANOS Y PROCEDIMIENTO DE CONTROL DE LAVADO DE MANOS  DEVICE FOR HAND WASHING AND HAND WASHING CONTROL PROCEDURE
D E S C R I P C I O N D E S C R I P C I O N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención pertenece al campo de la higiene sanitaria y más concretamente al lavado de manos del personal sanitario en centros de salud o similares. The present invention pertains to the field of sanitary hygiene and more specifically to the washing of health personnel in health centers or the like.
El objeto principal de la presente invención es un dispositivo para el correcto lavado de manos por parte del profesional sanitario mediante una solución hidroalcohólica. The main object of the present invention is a device for the correct washing of hands by the healthcare professional by means of a hydroalcoholic solution.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN La importancia de la desinfección de las manos con el fin de evitar infecciones nosocomiales en los hospitales y en las prácticas de la medicina es un hecho incuestionable. En la industria farmacéutica y en la industria de los productos alimenticios la desinfección y la descontaminación de las manos tienen, sobre todo, el cometido de evitar una posible contaminación por gérmenes indeseados de los productos elaborados. Para el tratamiento de las manos se utilizan en estos sectores frecuentemente unos preparados que limpian y desinfectan al mismo tiempo. Los preparados de esta clase se conocen hoy en día con la denominación de desinfectantes y descontaminantes para el lavado de las manos. Hasta la fecha se han propuesto algunas estrategias para intentar cumplir el objetivo de, en primer lugar, que el profesional se lave las manos durante el trabajo asistencial, y en segundo lugar, que ese lavado sea correcto y efectivo. Actualmente el lavado de manos con soluciones hidroalcohólicas en los centros sanitarios se realiza con la ayuda de distintos dispositivos: a) dispensadores como los de jabón o gel de manos; b) dispensadores manuales de solución hidroalcohólica. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The importance of hand disinfection in order to avoid nosocomial infections in hospitals and in medical practices is an unquestionable fact. In the pharmaceutical industry and in the food products industry, disinfection and decontamination of hands have, above all, the task of preventing possible contamination by unwanted germs of processed products. Preparations that clean and disinfect at the same time are often used in the treatment of hands. Preparations of this class are known today with the designation of disinfectants and decontaminants for hand washing. To date, some strategies have been proposed to try to meet the objective of, first, that the professional wash their hands during the care work, and secondly, that this washing is correct and effective. Currently, hand washing with hydroalcoholic solutions in health centers is carried out with the help of different devices: a) dispensers such as soap or hand gel; b) manual dispensers of hydroalcoholic solution.
Entre las estrategias que se han puesto en marcha para implantar como práctica segura la higiene de manos en los distintos centros sanitarios, tenemos que destacar las actividades formativas-informativas así como el aumento del número de puntos básicos de higiene de manos, entre otras. Pero ninguna de estas estrategias han disminuido el principal problema que conlleva un incorrecto lavado de manos: prevenir las infecciones asociadas a la asistencia sanitaria. Among the strategies that have been put in place to implement as safe practice hand hygiene in the different health centers, we have to highlight the training-informative activities as well as the increase in the number of basic hand hygiene points, among others. But none of these strategies have diminished the main problem involved in improper handwashing: preventing infections associated with healthcare.

The device of the present invention works only with the presentation of the identification card of the healthcare professional, who after its validation proceeds to automatically dispense and only once in a while the hydroalcoholic solution. Preferably said solution is only dispenses for the same user every 20 minutes. This prevents alcoholic solutions from being misused.
La cámara graba sólo el ejercicio de las manos durante el acto de lavado, la cual está preferentemente situada a la altura de las mismas. Además, para evitar que el sanitario se retire antes de tiempo, la solución se dispensa lentamente, de manera que no es posible que el usuario retire las manos sin ser grabado. El microprocesador guarda las grabaciones realizadas por la cámara, pudiendo almacenar además todo tipo de información referente al lavado de manos. Preferentemente dicho microprocesador guarda adicionalmente el número de veces que un sanitario se lava las manos, la fecha y hora de lavado, así como el servicio donde se ha llevado a cabo dicho lavado. The camera records only the exercise of the hands during the act of washing, which is preferably located at the height of the same. In addition, to prevent the toilet from withdrawing early, the solution is dispensed slowly, so that it is not possible for the user to remove their hands without being recorded. The microprocessor saves the recordings made by the camera, and can also store all kinds of information regarding hand washing. Preferably said microprocessor additionally saves the number of times a toilet is washing hands, the date and time of washing, as well as the service where said washing has been carried out.
En una realización preferente de la invención la información almacenada en el microprocesador se extrae mediante un medio de salida de datos, que preferentemente es un puerto USB. Respecto al procedimiento de uso, el dispositivo objeto de invención comprende las siguientes etapas: In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the information stored in the microprocessor is extracted by means of data output, which is preferably a USB port.

- validación o rechazo de dicha tarjeta de identificación,  - validation or rejection of said identification card,
- dispensación de la solución hidroalcohólica de forma automática por parte del dispensador una vez validada la tarjeta de identificación, produciéndose esta dispensación lentamente,  - dispensing of the hydroalcoholic solution automatically by the dispenser once the identification card is validated, this dispensing occurring slowly,
-simultáneamente a la dispensación, grabado del acto de lavado de manos por parte de una cámara alojada en el interior del dispositivo una vez activado el dispensador.  - Simultaneously to the dispensing, engraving of the act of handwashing by a camera housed inside the device once the dispenser is activated.
Opcionalmente se contempla la extracción de la información almacenada en el microprocesador, a través de un medio de salida de datos. Optionally, the extraction of stored information is contemplated in the microprocessor, through a means of data output.
Mediante la presente invención es posible tener un control seguro e inteligente del acto de lavado de manos de forma directa, lo que supone una ventaja respecto a los sistemas indirectos como son mediante un observador (medida totalmente sesgada) o bien mediante el control de la infección asociada a la asistencia sanitaria (es el resultado que se debe prevenir mediante esta práctica segura). Through the present invention it is possible to have a safe and intelligent control of the act of handwashing directly, which is an advantage over indirect systems such as by an observer (fully biased measure) or by controlling the infection associated with health care (this is the result that must be prevented through this safe practice).
