Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for connecting a cannula to a container under reduced pressure, in particular to a blood culture bottle, comprising an inflow opening for connection to the cannula or with a connecting tube to the cannula, an outflow opening for connection to a hollow spike for piercing a closure of the container and a tight fluidic connection of the inflow opening with the outflow opening as well as a method for connecting a cannula to a container under reduced pressure, in particular to a blood culture bottle.
- a reduced pressure is understood to mean a pressure which is below atmospheric pressure.
- Devices of the type mentioned at the beginning are known for taking blood for diagnostic purposes in everyday clinical practice and are widely used. They are also known as adapters or Luer adapters and are used to routinely take blood from patients in order to subject the blood to regular controls and analyzes.
- the blood is usually taken from a patient's blood vessel via the cannula by connecting the cannula inserted into the blood vessel to a blood culture bottle closed by a membrane via a connecting tube, such as a so-called Heidelberg extension, and a special hollow plastic spike will.
- the hollow mandrel can also be designed as a cannula, so that a further cannula different from the patient-side cannula already mentioned can be part of the device according to the invention.
- a blood culture bottle usually has a volume of around 80 ml, a part of which is usually filled with nutrient solution. It usually consists of a plastic or another, mostly transparent, dimensionally stable material and is evacuated up to a gas pressure of approx. 0.3 bar to 0.4 bar. The reduced pressure compared to atmospheric pressure is used, after piercing the membrane with the spike, to suck in the patient's blood through the cannula in order to ensure that the blood culture bottle is filled without further action. Blood is drawn out of the blood vessel through the cannula and, if necessary, the connecting tube and through the hollow spike until the pressure is largely equalized, the blood culture bottle then containing approximately 20 ml to 30 ml of blood.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that when the device according to the invention is used together with conventional blood culture bottles, compared to the use of a Luer adapter, only a reduced amount of blood is taken in order to cause anemic conditions in patients avoid or not reinforce any further.
- a device of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized according to the invention in that a reservoir containing a predetermined amount of gas, separate from the fluidic connection, is connected to the fluidic connection with the interposition of a valve which preferably opens towards the fluidic connection.
- a valve which preferably opens towards the fluidic connection.
- the valve then closes, thereby removing the reservoir for blood collection from the system.
- the risk of anemia in patients who have to be subjected to frequent blood draws can be reduced without the medical staff having to put in an increased amount of work or care.
- the drain opening is integrally connected to the hollow mandrel.
- the present invention can thus be used on the side of the drainage opening on the one hand with a hollow pin or cannula that is separately placed on or in the drainage opening to pierce the closure of the blood culture bottle or, in accordance with the preferred variant just described, with Hollow mandrel already formed by the manufacturer on the drainage opening.
- a ready-to-use product preferably packaged sterile, can be offered with the fast and particularly patient-friendly blood withdrawals are made possible.
- the basic idea of the present invention of reducing the negative pressure in the blood collection system can be implemented with a wide variety of reservoirs.
- a reservoir with a very small volume and an amount of gas under high pressure.
- the amount of gas in the reservoir is at atmospheric pressure and a volume of 40 cm 3 to 100 cm 3 , preferably 50 cm 3 to 90 cm 3 , more preferably 60 cm 3 to 80 cm 3 and particularly preferably 70 cm 3 .
- the amount of gas in the reservoir is at atmospheric pressure, it can be ruled out that, due to any circumstances, the gas can pass from the reservoir into the bloodstream of a patient.
- the stated volumes have been determined in experiments to be suitable for achieving a reduction in the negative pressure in a blood culture bottle to the extent that approximately 5 ml to 10 ml of blood are sucked into the blood culture bottle.
- valve can be switched by the differential pressure between the reservoir and the fluidic connection. on in this way the valve actuation takes place automatically and inexpensive embodiments of the present invention can be implemented.
- valve can be opened by the negative pressure prevailing in the fluidic connection.
- valve and in particular the valve closing member, is designed in such a way that it is opened by the negative pressure and thus remains open until either a complete pressure equalization has taken place or the valve closing member closes again due to a reset tendency before a complete pressure equalization between the fluidic connection and the reservoir is done.
- the invention can be further developed in such a way that the valve can be closed by the excess pressure prevailing in the fluidic connection, as corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the valve and in this case in particular the valve closing member, is designed such that an overpressure in the fluidic connection, as occurs, for example, when blood flows into the fluidic connection at ambient pressure, leads to the valve closing member being closed.
- a chamber is arranged on the side of the valve connected to the fluidic connection, so that an overpressure prevailing in the chamber acts on a valve closing member of the valve in the closing direction.
- the chamber offers the necessary space for the supply of the amount of gas from the reservoir as a result of the negative pressure in the container.
- the present invention is further developed in that the reservoir has a, preferably circular, perforated plate with at least one hole as a reservoir wall and the at least one hole is covered by the valve closing member of the valve in the closed position of the valve on the side of the chamber is.
- This preferred configuration represents a particularly compact design in which a reservoir wall or wall of the reservoir simultaneously forms a valve element, the reservoir being connected simply via at least one hole in the perforated plate.
- the perforated plate preferably has a plurality of holes. In the closed position of the valve, equivalent to the closed position of the valve closing member, the at least one hole is covered by the valve closing member and is only released when a negative pressure is applied to the drain opening for the passage of a quantity of gas from the reservoir.
- the valve closing member closes again so that when the blood is sucked into the blood culture bottle through the inflow opening and the cannula, no blood can get into the reservoir and only the relatively small volume of the chamber, in addition must be filled with blood, which ultimately represents a dead volume in the blood collection system according to the invention.
- the reservoir is designed as an annular chamber surrounding the fluidic connection, the perforated plate preferably supporting the fluidic connection.
- the reservoir surrounds an inflow line that leads from the inflow opening to the outflow opening and is preferably designed as a hollow cylinder through whose reservoir wall opposite the perforated plate the inflow line to the connection for the cannula or a connecting tube is passed.
- the inflow line is preferably arranged along an axis of rotation of the reservoir, so it penetrates the reservoir centrally. This allows the reservoir to be gripped and the hollow spike to be placed intuitively on the closure of the container in order to pierce it. In this way, the handling of the device according to the invention does not differ significantly from the use of a conventional Luer adapter, which is of great importance for the acceptance of the device according to the invention.
- the valve closing member is a circular, deformable disc with a, preferably centrally formed, Valve hole formed.
- the valve closing member therefore largely resembles a conventional sealing ring which covers the at least one hole in the perforated plate and is lifted from the at least one hole by the said pressure difference between chamber and reservoir, whereupon a quantity of gas from the reservoir and through the valve hole in the valve closing member into the chamber escapes.
- the present invention is preferably developed in such a way that the perforated plate and a wall of the chamber opposite the perforated plate abut the valve closing member at its edge, preferably in a clamping manner, and those opposite the perforated plate in the area of the valve hole Wall of the chamber is spaced from the valve closure member.
- the valve closing element is suitably stored in the chamber without any further built-in components and without the need for any fastening elements.
- the wall of the chamber opposite the perforated plate is spaced from the valve closing member in the region of the valve hole, space is created for the action of the valve closing member to open the valve during pressure equalization.
- the wall of the chamber opposite the perforated plate is preferably spaced so that just enough space is created for the action or the release movement of the valve closing member so that the chamber is made as small as possible in terms of its volume. This makes sense because, when the blood is taken after the pressure equalization, the chamber is flowed through by the blood at the transition from the inflow opening or inflow line to the outflow opening or outflow line and at the end of the blood collection, the volume of the chamber is not emptied into the container or the blood culture bottle, so that the volume of the chamber is to be regarded as the dead volume. This dead volume should of course be kept as small as possible with regard to the object of the present invention.
- the valve closing member consists of a material selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicone and polyolefins. These materials can be processed cheaply and in mass production, or can be selected from commercially available sealing rings, in order to obtain a valve closure member for use in a device according to the present invention.
- the materials mentioned offer excellent sealing properties for the present application and can be selected or produced in a suitable thickness for the suitable strength mentioned.
- the present invention is preferably developed in such a way that the valve is designed to withstand a negative pressure of the fluidic connection with respect to the reservoir of 0.3 bar to 0.8 bar, preferably from 0.4 bar to 0.7 bar, more preferably from 0.5 bar to 0.6 bar open. Furthermore, it is preferred that the valve is designed to withstand an overpressure of the fluidic connection with respect to the reservoir from 0.1 bar to 0.4 bar, preferably from 0.2 bar to 0.3 bar, more preferably from 0.25 bar.
- the method according to the invention for connecting a cannula to a container under reduced pressure, in particular to a blood culture bottle comprises the steps:
- a connecting device for connecting the cannula to the container under reduced pressure in particular a connecting device as described above,
- connection device Connecting the connection device on the one hand to the cannula and on the other hand to the container under reduced pressure, whereby a fluidic connection is established from the cannula to the container,
- the method according to the invention is preferably developed in such a way that the amount of gas is sucked in from the reservoir into the container up to a complete or partial pressure equalization between the reservoir and the container.
- the amount of gas is preferably drawn in from the reservoir into the container via a valve arranged between the reservoir and the fluidic connection. After the amount of gas has been sucked in from the reservoir, the valve closes the sealing connection against the reservoir, so that no blood can get into the reservoir during the subsequent blood collection.
- the method according to the invention is preferably developed in such a way that the reservoir is filled with a predetermined amount of gas, which is dimensioned in such a way that the pressure prevailing in the container by 30% -100%, preferably 40% -90%, more preferably 50%, as a result of the pressure equalization. -80%, more preferably 60% -70%, is increased. In this way, the negative pressure in the blood culture bottles is reduced to such an extent that the target amounts of blood mentioned at the beginning can be removed.
- the outlet gas pressure in a blood culture bottle is referred to below as pi.
- a volume of liquid V b is sucked into the blood culture bottle as soon as the hollow spike or a cannula is pierced through the closure of the blood culture bottle, which is airtight, for example connected to a hose, the other end of which is inserted into a blood vessel, for example.
- the pressure p2 which acts outside the blood culture bottle, is greater than the gas pressure in the blood culture bottle.
- p2 when blood is taken from a blood vessel, corresponds approximately to the air pressure p L. Even if the liquid is taken from an open glass, as shown in the figures discussed below, P2 corresponds to the air pressure. Based on the gas equation for ideal gases
- the internal pressure in a blood culture bottle can be calculated as follows. In the original state there is a certain amount of liquid in the blood culture bottle. The volume of the gas in the blood culture bottle is denoted by V1. Therefore, before filling the bottle:
- the blood culture bottle is filled with a liquid, for example with blood from a blood vessel, with the liquid volume V b due to the negative pressure inside, so that the internal pressure in the blood culture bottle corresponds to the external pressure P 2. It then applies
- V b V 1 * (1-P1 / P2).
- the internal pressure in the blood culture bottle must be increased in order to be able to reduce the volume of the liquid to be aspirated or filled.
- the pressure is first equalized between the blood culture bottle and the reservoir. Only then does the suction take place and the preceding equations apply, but with a changed internal pressure in the blood culture bottle. The following applies to the calculation of the volume of the reservoir V h:
- V t is the volume of the liquid that is taken from the patient in the hospital or from a beaker in the laboratory and, analogously, V t 'then corresponds to the volume of liquid that is sucked into the blood culture bottle.
- V b If p s is equal to p 2 , the difference between V b and V b 'corresponds to the sum of the internal volume of the connecting tube between the patient or between the beaker and the blood culture bottle and the lines for the liquid in the reservoir. Under these circumstances, V b then results in
- the volume of the reservoir is selected, for example, as follows.
- V b ' target volume volume to be decreased
- V h orange volume of the reservoir for filling blood culture bottles "orange"
- V h green volume of the reservoir for filling blood culture bottles "green"
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the longitudinal section according to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the device according to the invention during the pressure equalization
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of the device according to the invention after pressure equalization.
- a device according to the invention for connecting a cannula to a container under reduced pressure is generally designated by the reference number 1.
- the device 1 also referred to as an adapter, has a Inflow line 2 with an inflow opening 2 'and a connection 3 for a cannula (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) or a connecting tube for a cannula.
- the device 1 has an outflow line 4 with an outflow opening 4 ', to which a hollow spike (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) for piercing a blood culture bottle can be connected.
- a chamber 5 is arranged between the inflow line 2 and the outflow opening 4 ′, which chamber has an extremely small volume and connects the inflow line 2 to the outflow line 4 in a sealing manner.
- the inflow line 2, the chamber 5 and the outflow line 4 form a fluidic connection between the inflow opening 2 'and the outflow opening 4'.
- a reservoir 9 is connected to the chamber 5, in which a certain amount of gas, preferably at atmospheric pressure is present.
- the volume of the reservoir 9 is, for example, 70 cm 3 .
- the perforated plate simultaneously forms a wall of the chamber 5 and a wall of the reservoir 9.
- FIG. 1 it can be clearly seen in FIG. 1 that the perforated plate 8 and a wall 10 of the chamber 5 opposite the perforated plate 8 abut the valve closing member 6 'in a clamping manner on its edge 11 and thus support the valve closing member 6'.
- the wall 10 of the chamber 5 opposite the perforated plate 8 is spaced apart from the valve closing member 6 ′ in order to allow the valve closing member to move in the direction of the double arrow 13.
- Fig. 2 in which the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, which also applies to all other figures, it can be seen that the holes 7 in the perforated plate 8 in the closed position of the valve closing member 6 'on the side of the chamber 5 be covered by this. It can also be seen that the perforated plate 8 supports the inflow line 2 in the middle and the reservoir 9 surrounds the inflow line 2.
- valve closure member 6 by the effect of negative pressure or pressure reduced compared to atmospheric pressure in the container 15, for example a blood culture bottle 15, the closure 16 of which is pierced by a hollow mandrel 17, in the direction of the arrow 14 is deflected so that a certain amount of gas is sucked through the holes 7 from the reservoir 9 via the chamber 5 and the drainage line 4 into the container 15.
- the pressure equalization between the chamber 5 and the container 15 takes place more or less completely, the resistance force or the resetting tendency of the valve closing member 6 ', due to its material properties, not allowing a complete pressure equalization.
- the volumes are selected so that the negative pressure in the container 15 is adjusted to the level of the atmosphere or the pressure in a patient's blood vessel to such an extent that only a limited volume of blood is sucked into the blood culture bottle 15.
- a cannula or a connection tube to the cannula is denoted by the reference numeral 18.
- a blood vessel of a patient is not shown and is only illustrated by a vessel with a liquid.
- valve closing member 6 ' is again in the non-deflected position resting against the holes 7 in the perforated plate 8 Shown closed position and the chamber 5 is filled with liquid.
- the amount of liquid in the case of use of the device according to the invention, blood, is a dead volume, so that the chamber 5 is designed with the smallest possible volume.
