Abstract

The invention relates to a system comprising a cartridge and vaporiser. The vaporiser is a universal vaporiser since it can use various different liquid anaesthetic materials instead of just one. The cartridges can be disposable cartridges that are disposed of after use instead of being refilled by the end user. Said cartridges can include one or more memory devices therein, such that information relating to the cartridge can be communicated to the vaporiser, such as the type of liquid anaesthetic material contained therein. The cartridge/vaporiser system can be controlled to enable the vaporiser to update the information in the cartridge memory, such as the amount of liquid anaesthetic material used during a particular cartridge use session. The vaporiser can maintain a virtual operating log with information relating to the operation of the vaporizer. The information contained in the virtual operating log relating to the operation of a vaporizer with respect to the supply of anaesthetic vapour to a particular patient can be communicated to a storage location outside of the vaporizer, where it is stored together with other related medical registers.

Description

CARTRIDGES OF ANESTHETIC LIQUID AND VAPORIZER FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to anesthesia. More precision specifiers that supply vapors to more liquid anesthetic material.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Most inh or current anesthetic agents are liquids at atmospheric pressure. These anesthetic materials 1 to be converted into vapor for use in the gas are the patient to be anesthetized before a vaporizer provides steam specific capacity requested by the end user less than would be appropriate.

Because many vapor systems in the end user fill the reservoir that guides the liquid anesthetic, there is a risk of the powerful liquid anesthetic being spilled or the reservoir, thereby contaminating the operating room. There is also an e during the process of filling a reservoir to the liquid anesthetic can enter the tubing pumice so that drops containing ades of liquid anesthetic material measured accurately, can enter the supply gas thus providing a sudden peak ad agent anesthetic supplied to the patient Although vaporizers exist for a number of purposes, they have differences in pressure atmoparation with hospitals that operate near the SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A cartridge and vaporizer system can be described as a vaporizer and the vaporizer can use a variety of different liquid materials instead of one, or they can be single-use cartridges after use instead of being filled in. . The cartridges may have a memory stick inside the cartridge in a manner relating to the cartridge may be a communicator, such as the type of anesthetic material or this cartridge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the following exemplary description, reference is made to the figures comprising part of the same, and which show, by use, specific executions of the invention to be used. Other executions can be used, structural changes can be made Electronic cartridge and cartridges loaded with liquid plastic, examples of the ionic vap with inserted cartridges are provided. An expert will recognize that the specific provided examples of the pre-filled cartridge can be made according to the teachings of the pion, so that the cartridge looks different than described while providing the benefits associated with the present invention.

METHOD OF USE A method of using a cartridge and vaporizer is as a process described in Figure 1.

Step 1010 - Connect the Vaporizer.

The electronic vaporizer is connected to the one of features and redundancies of s onales, such as systems that have diverse porizador and a enelavamiento to assure that hoist is providing steam in any mining. Because the anesthesiology systems of a number of components, there is a standard system, such as dorsal bars.

A vaporizer, made in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, may be mounted to a backstrap and a standard interlocking system so as to utilize a series of vaporizers in a given system while preventing more hoist from simultaneously supplying steam to the vaporizer and the charge of any vapor associated with the vaporizer.

Step 1020 - Select Cartridge.

A pre-filled cartridge is selected for the particular liquid anesthetic for surgical use. The cartridge can be used to provide a vi or final indication regarding the anesthetic material left in it. Some systems can use a single liquid anesthetic material. To the determined liquid anesthetic, the liquid tends to release molecules of the liquid in that of the liquid until the vapor reaches a pre-saturated one which is a function of the liquid and atura. The predictability of liquid physical pressure that can be used with a heat-controlled system. Examples of liquid m that may be suitable for the present invention include: Halothane, Enfranus, Desflurane and Sevoflurane.

Step 1040 - Load the Cartridge.

The cartridge is loaded into the buffer cavity so that it becomes the C io. The loading process opens the hermetic seal keeping the volatile liquid anesthetic material or vaporizes and supplies anesthesia to it. The connection between the cartridge and the one can be executed to be simple and confirms that the connection can be established without the users to couple the carton, but not limited to the specific material contained in it. The primary cartridge that can be passed from the evaporator's memory to the vaporizer includes: batch number, fuel, and the volume of anesthetic material manufactured in the factory. Those experts in the Cerán that could be stored other primary parameters and that could be used to provide the same functionality provide additional functionality. For example, the use of a cartridge could be used to determine the expiration date at the creation date and other information can be Optionally, at the time of its insertion, the vaporizer could communicate to the memo ermanece in the primary cartridge after it is stored together with an hour stamp part of a virtual work notebook.

The quantity can be expressed as volume cubic meters, weight, capacity in milliliter, or other measurement that is reasonable for describing liquid anesthetic material.

Information on the primary cartridge can be fed to the vaporizer on a regional data link or transmitted wirelessly using RFID technology. Radiofrequency ionization technology) is used in one or more applications for inventory control, RFID ogies use active devices that are co-operated by Texas Instruments, Inc.

Step 1060 - Display Information.

The information on the primary cartridge is displayed by the end user. The vaporized an integrated screen, such as a liquid screen or other convenient screen. Example of the primary cartridge that can be deployed from the insertion of the primary cartridge including the liquid anesthetic present in the cartridge provided in the art will appreciate that, the liquid anesthetic identi ial can be transmitted using the product, but it can be deployed with an x or other format that is not an exact copy supplied by the primary cartridge.

Step 1070 - Confirm Intent to Use Step 1080 - Receive Replacement Cartridge.

Optionally, the vaporizer housing adapted to receive a second replacement cartridge cartridge is present in a location such that it is loose in the operating room with two locations for cartridges, the carton for use by the vaporizer may be It is called primary and the second cartridge can be called a spare. Unless the current use of the cartridges can be identical.

This replacement cartridge would be available so that a primary cartridge exhausted or almost removed from the active coupling with the spare cartridge vapo can be inserted immediately. The insert changes the replacement cartridge, the replacement cartridge has the same liquid as the current primary cartridge and the liquid anesthetic is not expired. As the remaining volume in the primary cartridge is removed, it is removed so that it is not used, the replacement cartridge placed in the replacement cartridge of the vaporizer sr to see how much volume is considered to be spare and this information may be desp Step 1090 - Receive End User Entry.

The end user establishes the desired vapor inlet velocities. The vaporizer elec a screen to provide indication to the liquid anesthetic in the cartridge thus relevant co ation. The end user will interact with the knob or disc to enter the velocity of the vaporized liquid anesthetic.

The primary feedback to the user the amount of anesthesia selected to be displayed on a deployment screen. One way to express this concept is through the percentage of vapor in the vaporizer gas that is subsequently provided with respiration. The exit gas is a mixer that is exposed to the working portion and that carries the anesthetic vapor and the gas that is not exposed to the working portion and therefore does not pick up steam from air.

The display may indicate: the material used or in use, the speed of the doses selects procedure, a value indicating the amount elapsed since the initiation of the alarm procedure, and information regarding the maintenance agent, such as the date on which the vaporized cured for the last time.

The dose can be expressed as a percentage of the vapor to the vaporizer's outlet gas, which is the carrier gas that carries the vapor and the gas.

Because the percentages of steam for an anesthetic material may be in the co-percent range, but for other safety anesthetic material it can be located from zero to vei, it would be better to rely exclusively on what is shown on the screen instead of trying l.

These confirmed parameters are also possible in the virtual workbook. The pair include: the liquid anesthetic material in selected; scale of concentrations allowed for particular liquid anesthetic agent; remaining quantity (in any unit or form that is the end user); current state of the vaporizer tros. Examples of other parameters to be included include: average speed of use of the liquid medium, time remaining for use of this current speed of use; timer that I moved past in the procedure; It is normally not necessary during a procedure to consult the vaporizer and it may be a few minutes after it has run out. Observing the power interruption in a hoist way is operating with the power of batteries can observe a change in the condition of the a, such as a significant drop in pressure.

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that information will probably go to the default screen during a process and that other combinations may be selected for temporary or ongoing deployment with a user.

After the user receives the initial desired percentage concentration of the physical gas in the outlet gas, there may be a delay in the cartridge being heated up with the requirement of the end user. The heated content of the cartridge can be mainly to thermally conductive material surrounding the liquid material (such as a metal) in the interior which is connected by a thermal material to the exterior of the cartridge, so that it is useful for the thermal transfer conduit Although one design objective is to provide slots for heat to move towards the primary cartridge, another objective is to minimize the risk of the user touching hot portions of the cartridge by removing a primary cartridge that is already depleted or depleted. after its use. The electric heat cartridge can be built in the desired percentage concentration, starting the anesthetic in the outlet gas, it can be short, when the cartridge is heated, desired steam strobe. After the carton is properly formed, one or more con- version valves are opened to direct the carrier gas in order to provide a supply to the environment.

The control system to provide primary c ho can be based on a reading, but other executions can be configured based primarily on a pressure reading. This will indicate if the primary cartridge is warm enough to provide steam to the cartridge. primary has not been exhausted).

The start of the steam supply was observed not of virtual work that includes parameters ref creation of the steam, such as the pressure oper measured temperatures. Once a virtual workbook entry is proposed, recourse to the provision of instantaneous readings of all the important parameters in place established and augmented by specific readings, such as an alarm or a reset or reception of an exit order instruction including the arrest of the pro.

Step 1140 - Low Level Warnings. In case the pressure measurement falls by pressure requested for the final steam speed or. Most systems will note the low-level hour and detail of virtual work.

In many executions, the system will be residual liquid anesthetic material conformed to the system regarding the initial volume or primary and the aggregate use during the procedure that the end user is receiving an initial depletion of the primary cartridge or is required. a pressure drop of a c? to notify the end user that they are replacing the primary one. The alarm warnings will be issued to the end user when the system calms prescribed minutes of primary cartridge supply. The provisioning of pressure indicative of exhaustion as it is for some reason, the primary cartridge has not replaced the prescribed amount of material ane or so that the cartridge can be exhausted beforehand. The process for replacing a new primary cartridge or cartridge is mentioned in Figure 2 below.

Step 1150 - Change the supply speed during a procedure.

The vaporizer can be executed in a precise manner of the steam release by means of the opening and closing of the valve to release steam from the side of the control cartridge to the carrier gas. Due to the difference in pressure through the valve upwards should the vaporization rate be necessary in case you maintain the desired vapor pressure.

Step 1160 - Stop the Vaporizer. At the momentum by the end user for vapor stability at zero, the control valves are to be opened so that steam no longer receives ho. The primary cartridge is no longer receiving heat. Purge procedure to route fresh gas through the vaporizer before the vaporizer is sufficient for the anesthetic material to condense in the vaporizer. A set f is sent to the virtual workbook.

Step 1170 - Provide Environmental Air to the C io. cion additional protection against leakage? Basic to the ambient air.

Step 1180 - Complete the Entries of the Virtual Quad for the Procedure.

A request to stop the supply of a vaporized state snapshot of the state of the vaporizer stops supplying a set of summary data to the virtual workbook for the vaporizer solution for this procedure. virtual will allow the interpretation of the quad or to discern the length of time that the anporporized by this vaporizer, the quantity t sia, and the steam supply rates ho primary in use at the end of the procedure S go into the memory of the primary cartridge. The information in the primary cartridge can be the amount of liquid anesthetic material remaining or based on the amount of anesthetic material added to the vaporizer minus the calculated consumption of the liquid anesthetic during this procedure.

A system can be established that rec stores memory locations to indicate that the c n use. These memory locations would act vaporizer at the end of the use of a cartridge and ation. If a primary cartridge is removed before final cartridgeization, the cartridge memory may continue to indicate that the cartridge is in use. The next time this is done so that each procedure uses some that have not been used as cartridges, they have actually provided steam in previous operation. If the procedure was to remove a cartridge after a certain material had been supplied to the vaporizer, it was not possible to write something on the primary cartridge or indication that it had been used to steam. The annotation written on the river with respect to which it had been used should be removed as soon as the primary cartridge is the primary cartridge portion of the vaporizer or control valve is opened to allow the sa of the primary cartridge. In some executioners you can write on the cartridge, as soon as the virtual workbook, surgical par- ty, is part of the before for this surgical procedure through the many conventional methods of data. The data can be written by storage of associated storage memory. The memory device can be a fast USB memory (Universal Serial Link). The virtual down can be provided through communication to an Anesthesia Management System (AIMS) to collect and soul or range of information pertaining to a particular patient in order to prepare the patient's record for surgery. or to the medical record administration ma. Leave. Useful articles for medical maintenance are known to those skilled in the art, but for purposes of illustration, such as the hours of use of the received alarm device indicating a zador problem instead of simply a poo cartridge almost exhausted, and Other information to be determined when the vaporizer r service or what kind of problems could have been the vaporizer since the last service.

PROCESS TO REPLACE THE PRIMARY CARTRIDGE Figure 2 contains a step sequence or 2000 to replace the primary cartridge c ho. isolated from the remaining anesthetic material ho. This isolation can happen automatically to physical interaction with the vaporizer is what is left to the liquid anesthetic material and the remoc or closes this channel, such as through the use of Schrader.

Step 2030 - Isolate the Vapor in the Vap the Ambient Air.

In addition to isolating any remaining or remaining material against the end user, the system any vaporized anesthetic material denoted so that it does not enter the ambient air may have one or more valves of a single material flow through the vaporizer to the vaporizer. Inside the vaporizer and If a new primary cartridge is not? or of a certain period, a purge gas is fired through the vaporizer. E rga would prevent the condensation of steam from the vaporizer in case the vaporizer is not a new cartridge for a prolonged period, curling can be executed in any way using hardware or software. Depending on the chosen operation, there may not be a device in the timer.

Branch 2050.

If a new primary cartridge is inserted, the timer will trigger a purge cycle, complete with Step 2060, and purge the new primary cartridge.

In the end you should enter all the information r start a new procedure and open a new virtual down.

Step 2060 - Read New River Information.

This new primary cartridge could be from a cavity in the vaporizer as a cartridge, or this new cartridge could be stored elsewhere. It should be noted that, although the position may have had a reading of its been checked for a comparison of liquid liquid and expiration date, the vap to this information once more since it is not considered that the new primary cartridge is the replacement cartridge because, for a brief period, on the other hand, if the new cartridge primes the same liquid anesthetic material as the above, the control system does not control between the primary cartridge and the instrument and the vaporizer does not apply heat to the primary cartridge and, rather, seeks the confi ambio of the liquid anesthetic material. If there has been liquid anesthetic material, then it will be final, confirming this unusual change 090.

Step 2080 - Warm Cartridge and Start Use If the new primary cartridge contains liquid anesthetic material that was used immediately before primary and the liquid substance is considered appropriate for use (it is of cartridges.

Step 2090 - Branch in Confirmed Attempt for Liquid Anesthetic Waste.

The end user is alerted about the change to the anesthetic and is asked to confirm. In case the answer is yes, then it is 2100. If it is not, then it is purged if it was a new primary cartridge.

In most cases, the change to the liquid anesthetic to a second material ane or during a simple, unintended medical procedure. When the confirmation is requested, the end user will simply remove the ect and insert a different cartridge for the new primary cartridge in order to propo or correct and there is a risk that the vaporizes and allows condensation of the vapor.

The condensed drops can cause the m. Dose speed is inaccurate because relatively small has the same liquid amount as a relatively large amount of that same liquid anesthetic material.

Step 2100 Purge Cycle.

If the user answers yes to the Ram, a purge cycle is initiated. During the c, a control valve is opened to provide near the connection with the steam cartridge control valves are opened as necessary fresh gas run through the interior of the steam from the purge outlet. After the gas d proceed with the use of the new primary cartridge to the different liquid anesthetic. It is up to you to make the decision about whether you go to the breathing circuit to purge the first liquid anesthetic material or replace it with a breathing circuit.

SHREDDED SAMPLE AND DEPLOYMENT OF CONTROL.

The present invention can be executed in ways by a person skilled in the art, to effectively render the concepts of the ion, a figure is given in FIG.

Primary Gas Flows During Vaporization A pressure regulator 206 regulates the relative pres- sures of the control valve 23 of the bypass gas and the carrier gas path conti- nuous valve.

The total flow of fresh gas 406 (both 418 and bypass gas 412) can be flowmeter 624 located just before joining or in the art it will recognize that alternatively use two flow meters to measure by carrier gas before acquiring steam and 412 tion through the use of two flow meters co-tively after junction 224 (fluj not shown).

The bypass gas 412 passes out of a way 230 through the con- trol valve to be reattached to the carrier gas 418 in the uni of the cartridge 400 and proceeds through the val- ley 290 to the junction 242 to mix with the 412 and move to the breathing circuit described above.

The steam is supplied to the heat measurement system to the cartridge 400 from the fu 460. The control system can supply in the heating process to temperature sensing device 606. As in FIG. 3, the temperature sensor 60 Placed between the open cartridge valve 51 of the vaporizer 284 and 282 according to the control of the steam temperature. At the steam temperature, the amount supplied to the heat source can be regulated. Such ho 518 is driven by the insertion mec ni ho 400 in position to become the c io. This cartridge valve 518 may be of a conventional type, such as a Schrader valve.

Once the cartridge valve 518 is a is the vapor can flow through the valve 4 and the control valve 282 to arrive at 286. When the control valve 282 is closed pressure 618 detects the associated pressure of the anesthetic material. liquid 506. The measurement in the pressure sensor 618 can be a trica instead of an absolute pressure and n of the ambient air measured in the pressure sensor and the calculation of the absolute pressure. The pressure sensor 618 may or may not be within a certain period of time of a cartridge having a material other than that contained in the cartridge.

During a purge cycle, a valve 84 prevents a gas charged with steam from lifting salt into ambient air.

The bypass gas 412 continues to flow through the control valve 236 to avoid liquid anesthetic material from the control valve 236.

During a purge cycle, the 1 304 valve is closed and the control valve a, so that the fresh gas is routed to a one way valve 284 and the control valve manages the purge gas and other gases. .

VENTILATION OF THE COOLING CARTRIDGE.

As the cartridge 400 cools down to release vapor into the vaporizer system, a liquid anesthetic portion passes from the liquid v state. As the steam returns to the state 1 inside the cartridge 400 it would fall as the cartridge 518 is closed in case the cartridge has been damaged. Even if that cartridge valve is the cartridge is still inserted into the vap and a flow path for the gas reg 400 because such movement is avoided that of a track 512, one way valve 284 and 282 VAPORIZER CONTROL SYSTEM The control system for executing the pion could be implemented in a variety of ways by those skilled in the art. The example below illustrates the concepts of transmitting a more substantial explanation of the invention rather than implying that the illus ular is the only way of executing these aspects of the invention.

The vaporizer control system 806 f provides a sufficient amount of steam to yield the requested level of anemia vapor by the end user (shown at f User Input 818). The user fires with the vaporizer control system. The communication from the system with or final can be mainly one or more countries. An example of a powerful screen is a liquid crystal display. He may have some enabled to navigate through three options in order to select determining groups for deployment. The control system may have the ability to interru or presently display the sun information to provide a visual display related to an alarm or other information to the end user. The alarms thus state co ation can also be communicated to or more color status lights.

Alarms as well as other information can. This information provided from the control system of the vaporizer 806 can provide memory in the cartridge through wireless communication or communication cable can use technology The entry 812 from the cartridge r the identity of the anesthetic material present in the cartridge placed in the vap that is the primary cartridge. Additional information on the date the cartridge was created or the date of the cartridge may also be transmitted or may contain information pertaining to the item, possibly a serial number or cartridge number. The cartridge can transmit the quantity to the liquid anesthetic that was loaded in the cartridge. Optionally, some systems can be used to write back in the memory. This is represented in this figure 848 for emission into the cartridge memory. Include the estimated amount of material in the cartridge, the date of use of the cartridge, other information that may be useful for assessing the cartridge at a future date or for which it has been used in a procedure or vaporizer device. . Depending on the wireless communication system that is used, it is possible to write to the memory of a removed terminal, as long as it falls within the limited range of the wireless system. required for the known type of material ane or through the control of the heat source 46 ion of the various control valves under the control valve positions from the control valves. Some valves tend to be operated so that they are complete or completely closed. Other valves to be operated to have a partial position, such as the control valves 272 and determine the ratio of the bypass gas 4i or 418, The vaporizer control system 80 r the input from one or more sensors pressure steam 618, pressure sensor 612, temperature sensor 606 that monitors the operation of the vaporizer specific duration. The workbook may include information regarding action with the end user in addition to the product. Interactions with the end user of the virtual work may include the requests by the end user, including a seal as well as any alarms or other changes. to the end user, including a seal of The workbook information is to be communicated to the removable memory medium to the memory medium unit 842. A convenient means of communication is a quick memory unit for writing the relevant information. The information of the virtual workbook can be a communication to an information system located outside the vapori of a communication link of administration 836. The communication link of adminis formation can be executed through condas or wireless.

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGE ENTRY As noted above, the vape can be configured to receive the carton entry 872 so that, the control system 806 knows in advance some of the cartridge that will be used when the C assess whether the replacement cartridge is due. A reading of the replacement cartridge can be included in the present liquid anesthetic material. Such information would be useful in case the one executed to use cartridges with different liquid anesthetic material within certain liquid anesthetic waste. In said case of the liquid anesthetic material only to know the amount of material ane or in the cartridge.

DETAILS, OPTIONS AND VARIATIONS.

Cartridges with different amounts of liquid anesthetic material could be created so that, with the appropriate amount of material for one hour and a second cartridge for quantities of liquid anesthetic material, there could be a reduced standard size for pediatric patients as opposed to cartridges uti dultos (human adults).

If the vaporizer has sufficient capacity to rapidly rapidly heat the cartridge to the op temperature, then the vaporizer can be used vaporizer in an anesthesia system.
