Description
発明の技術分野.
本発明は、広くは消毒方法に係り、さらに具体的には取付け/取外し可能な消毒容器システムに関する。
一般に消毒工程では、細菌性の微生物を殺すことができる消毒媒体に消毒すべき物品をさらすことが必要となる。このような工程は、通常は消毒室の内部で行われる。消毒すべき物品は、消毒室に運搬されて、物品を消毒してその後消毒状態で保存する消毒容器内に入れられることが多い。ある事例では、物品は単に消毒されるだけであるが、それでも容器内に運搬されることが多い。
本発明による消毒システムは、消毒すべき物品を収容する消毒容器を備えており、消毒容器は入口と出口を有する。消毒流体源が前記入口と前記出口に連結可能である。前記入口と前記出口は受動的微生物不透過性閉鎖部を備え、前記消毒容器が前記消毒流体源に連結されていない時に前記消毒容器は微生物の進入を免れるように封止され内部の物品の消毒状態を維持する。
消毒工程のための従来の監視システムの改良として、好ましい実施の形態による工程は、好ましくは消毒容器の封止状態を維持したまま、包囲消毒容器内での消毒工程の有効性を表示することが可能である。以下図面を参照する。図面全体において同様の符号は同様の部分を指し示す。
図18Aは、独立した複数の着脱自在な区域を有する二つのセットを示す。各セットは、自身専用のファン1010、殺菌剤源1030、処理すべき器具1050、および表示器1070を有する。図18Bは、区域のセットの二つが結合されて殺菌剤がシステム内を循環できるようになったシステムを示す。図18Cは、ファンを収容する一つの区域1000と、殺菌剤源を収容する一つの区域1020と、表示器をそれぞれ収容する二つの区域1060と、器具をそれぞれ収容する二つの区域1040を有するシステムを示す。
かかる着脱自在な区域を有するシステムは、殺菌剤が殺菌剤源から消毒すべき器具さらには表示器に流れることが可能である限り、多くの様々な組合せでよい。同じ中身を収容する一つより多い区域は一緒に取り付けてもよい。例えば、殺菌剤源を収容する二つの区域1020を互いに取り付けて、システム内を循環する殺菌剤を増量してもよい。また、器具用の二つの区域1040を互いに取り付けて、より多くの器具を同時に消毒するようにしてもよい。各区域は、適切な障壁で覆われた複数の窓を有していてもよい。各窓には不要な開放を閉鎖するシャッタを設けてもよいし、あるいは殺菌剤が正しい方向に流れるのを確実にするために障壁の代わりに堰板を使用してもよい。一つ以上の着脱自在な区域に一つの加熱部材を導入してもよいし、個々の着脱自在な区域に一つの加熱部材を配置してもよい。また加熱部材は加熱炉でよい。また区域間を遮断するために弁を使用してもよい。
区域1130は、ヒートシールの間にある開口部1140を介して区域1135に対して流体が流動可能に通じている。殺菌剤は、区域1130内に拡散する前に、小袋1100の区域1135内に窓1105を経て拡散する必要がある。従って、区域1130内の表示器1120が殺菌剤に接触する前に、区域1135内の器具1115が殺菌剤に接触する。区域1135は一つより多いガスまたは蒸気透過性で微生物不透過性窓を有していてもよく、これらの窓は小袋1100の片面または両面に配置してよい。消毒工程の最後では、他のヒートシールを使用して区域1130を区域1135から完全に分離し、区域1135内の器具1115が汚染されるおそれなく、表示器1120を小袋1100から取り外せるようにしてもよい。好ましくは、区域1130には一つより多い表示器がある。従って、殺菌工程の最後では、少なくとも一つの表示器を区域1130から取り外して、少なくとも一つの表示器を区域1130内に残して、小袋1100内の器具1115の状態を表示するようにしてもよい。
実際の使用では、使用者は小袋の適当な部分を小袋ロールから切断し、その切断された小袋内に器具を配置し、その小袋の開放した両端をヒートシールする。殺菌剤は小袋1400の外部から窓1410を通じて区域1430内に拡散し、その後区域1430から仕切壁1420を通って区域1440内に拡散する。殺菌剤は区域1440内の表示器1450に拡散接触する前に、区域1430内の器具に拡散接触する。
図23は小袋1500の一部を示す。小袋1500は、図22の小袋1400に類似するが、より大きいガスまたは蒸気透過性で微生物不透過性の窓1510を有する。この小袋1500の使用法ならびに表示器および器具の配置は、図22に示す小袋1400と同じである。
