Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en anordning ved lukke for eventuelt infiserte væsker. The present invention relates to a device for closing any potentially infected liquids.

I dagens helsevesen legger man stadig større vekt på hygiene idet man har innsett betydningen av i størst mulig grad å redusere sjansen for smittespredning i forbindelse med prøvetaking av blod og andre kroppsvæsker. In today's healthcare system, greater emphasis is placed on hygiene as the importance of reducing the chance of infection spreading to the greatest extent possible in connection with taking samples of blood and other body fluids has been realised.

Foreliggende oppfinnelse har til hensikt å forbedre den kjente teknikk i det den tilbyr en forbedret sikkerhet, en forenklet anvendelse og en forenklet produksjon uten å øke produksjonsomkostningene. The present invention aims to improve the known technique in that it offers improved safety, a simplified application and a simplified production without increasing production costs.

Oppfinnelsen beskrives under henvisning til blodprøvetaking men oppfinnelsens prinsipp er selvfølgelig anvendelig på alle områder der "ømfindtlige" væsker behandles. The invention is described with reference to blood sampling, but the principle of the invention is of course applicable to all areas where "sensitive" liquids are treated.

I den kjente teknikk blir generelt blodprøverør som for eksempel "Vacutainer" i dag regnet som et totalt lukket system, noe som imidlertid ikke er tilfelle. Etter at en kanyle trekkes ut av kroppen i en "Vacutainer" vil det uvegerlig etterlates blod på proppen på utsiden. Dette gir en risiko mens systemet som sådan gir en falsk følelse av trygghet og sikkerhet. In the known technique, blood test tubes such as "Vacutainer" are generally regarded today as a totally closed system, which is however not the case. After a needle is withdrawn from the body in a "Vacutainer", blood will inevitably be left on the plug on the outside. This creates a risk while the system as such gives a false sense of security and safety.

I de kjente systemer må proppen til beholderen før eller siden nødvendigvis tas ut og det kan i slike tilfelle oppstå damper eller dråpespredninger rundt rørets åpning, noe som gir en potensiell usikkerhetsfaktor. In the known systems, sooner or later the stopper of the container must necessarily be removed and in such cases vapors or droplet dispersions may occur around the opening of the tube, which gives a potential uncertainty factor.

Den uttrukne propp må kastes, undersiden og sidene vil nødvendigvis ha vært i kontakt med for eksempel blod og/eller serum, noe som også gir en potensiell forurensningsfare. Også rundt beholderåpningen vil det kunne være belegg av eventuelt smittefarlig væske. The extracted stopper must be thrown away, the underside and sides will necessarily have been in contact with, for example, blood and/or serum, which also presents a potential risk of contamination. There may also be a coating of potentially infectious liquid around the container opening.

Det finnes kommersielt tilgjengelig en proppavtager som kan tres over en propp i for eksempel en "Vacutainer" og vippe denne bort fra røret, dette er imidlertid ingen god løsning da det også her kan oppstå sprut eller damper. There is a commercially available stopper remover that can be threaded over a stopper in, for example, a "Vacutainer" and tilt this away from the tube, however, this is not a good solution as splashes or vapors can also occur here.

Foreliggende oppfinnelse har til hensikt å avhjelpe manglene ved den kjente teknikk og kjennetegnes ved det som fremgår av den karakteriserende del av søknadens hovedkrav sett i lys av de ledsagende tegninger. The present invention is intended to remedy the shortcomings of the known technique and is characterized by what appears from the characterizing part of the main claim of the application seen in the light of the accompanying drawings.

Foreliggende søknad vil som nevnt beskrives i forbindelse med prøvetaging av blod men kan, også som nevnt, selvfølgelig benyttes i forbindelse med alle andre "ømfindtlige" væsker. As mentioned, the present application will be described in connection with blood sampling but can, also as mentioned, of course be used in connection with all other "sensitive" liquids.

Fordelene ved oppfinnelsen slik den fremgår av tegningene er: med en gang det til prøverøret er satt blod eller annen væske blir det over proppen i røret anordnet en elastisk hette slik at eventuelle dråper på proppen dekkes til; The advantages of the invention as it appears from the drawings are: as soon as blood or other has been added to the test tube liquid, an elastic cap is arranged above the stopper in the tube so that any drops on the stopper are covered;

damp- eller dråpespredning forhindres ved at proppen kan fjernes fra åpningen innenfor den elastiske hette, altså i et lukket område, og at den befinner seg innelukket inntil man gjennom et eventuelt i den elastiske hette tildannet område som er trukket over åpningen, har tatt ut den prøve man ønsker. Proppen kan deretter settes ned i røret igjen i det samme lukkede system. Det hull som oppstår når for eksempel pipetten settes ned kan også benyttes som en avstryker for denne idet hullet trekker seg sammen når spenningen av den elastiske hette oppheves. Man kan på denne måte unngå kontaminering både av propp og glass-åpning. Det ovenfor beskrevne viser klart de mange muligheter dette system legger opp til. the spread of steam or droplets is prevented by the fact that the plug can be removed from the opening within the elastic cap, i.e. in a closed area, and that it is enclosed until you have taken it out through any area created in the elastic cap that is pulled over the opening test you want. The plug can then be placed back into the pipe in the same closed system. The hole that occurs when, for example, the pipette is put down can also be used as a wiper for this, as the hole contracts when the tension of the elastic cap is lifted. In this way, contamination of both the stopper and the glass opening can be avoided. What is described above clearly shows the many possibilities this system offers.

Oppfinnelsen skal forklares nærmere under henvisning til de ledsagende tegninger.r The invention shall be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.r

Fig. 3: gummihetten 1 er rullet over proppen 3 et stykke ned på røret 2 med et forsterket område i gummien, 7, rundt et lite perforert hull (se også fig. 3a, henvisning 7). I dette tilfelle er proppen 3 i røret 2 dekket av hetten 1 og eventuelt blod 4 på proppen Fig. 3: the rubber cap 1 is rolled over the plug 3 a little way down the tube 2 with a reinforced area in the rubber, 7, around a small perforated hole (see also fig. 3a, reference 7). In this case, the plug 3 in the tube 2 is covered by the cap 1 and possibly blood 4 on the plug

Fig.10: eventuell ønsket uttrekking av serum eller blod-legemer kan skje ved hjelp av en pipette 10 som antydet ovenfor. Fig.10: any desired extraction of serum or blood cells can take place using a pipette 10 as indicated above.

Ytterligere utførelsesform av oppfinnelsen vil være åpenbare for fagmannen på basis av figurene i tegningsarkene 3 til 6 som i det alt vesentlige viser de samme elementer som beskrevet ovenfor men med forskjellige anvendelsesvaria-sj oner. Further embodiments of the invention will be obvious to the person skilled in the art on the basis of the figures in drawing sheets 3 to 6 which essentially show the same elements as described above but with different application variations.

Fordelene ved foreliggende oppfinnelse er at man på en sikker og isolert måte kan trekke ut en propp fra en beholder inneholdende ømfindtlig væske. Proppen kan under ivaretag-else av sterilitet og hygiene anbringes på siden av røret mens man som beskrevet på egnet måte kan trekke av ønsket væske. The advantages of the present invention are that a stopper can be extracted from a container containing delicate liquid in a safe and isolated manner. The stopper can be placed on the side of the tube while maintaining sterility and hygiene, while the desired liquid can be drawn off in a suitable manner as described.

Som antydet i ark 4, fig. 4, kan hvis ønskelig proppen fjernes fra røret separat mens den fremdeles er omhyllet av hetten uten at det derved skjer vesentlig åpning av røret. As indicated in sheet 4, fig. 4, if desired, the stopper can be removed from the tube separately while it is still enveloped by the cap without thereby significantly opening the tube.

Man kan videre tenke seg forskjellige avleveringsanordninger for væske inneholdt i røret 2, dette er antydet i ark 4, figur 8 og 9 samt figurene 10, 11 og 12. One can also imagine different delivery devices for liquid contained in the pipe 2, this is indicated in sheet 4, figures 8 and 9 as well as figures 10, 11 and 12.

Videre kan man tenke seg forskjellige låseanordninger for hetten over røret, dette er antydet i ark 4 og 5 ved hjelp av langs røret forskyvbare elementer lc. Furthermore, one can think of different locking devices for the hood over the pipe, this is indicated in sheets 4 and 5 by means of elements lc that can be moved along the pipe.

Foreliggende oppfinnelse tilbyr således en enkel, rimelig og sikker innretning for håndtering og manipulering av følsom væske, i særdeleshet i forbindelse med prøvetaking, analyser-ing og behandling av eventuelt smittsomme kroppsvæsker. The present invention thus offers a simple, affordable and safe device for handling and manipulating sensitive liquid, in particular in connection with sampling, analyzing and treating possibly infectious body fluids.
