Abstract:
Multifunctional monitors including electrocardiograph monitor, oxygen saturation monitor, blood pressure monitor, temperature monitor, arterial pressure monitor are often used for critically ill patients in hospitals. Each function monitoring part is equipped with multiple data monitoring wires. Due to the disorderly distribution, monitoring wires are often intertwined with each other. The medical staff will spend much time for careful identification and energy in emergency use and the improper operation of the equipment leads to its damage, which could affect data monitoring result, delay the diagnosis and treatment, and cause certain medical risks. In addition, the data line is often exposed to the external environment, which has a certain impact on its service life. Moreover, the distribution of the data line is disorderly, affecting the hospital environment and appearance. Thus, a kind of medical wire storage box was designed, which could realize the monitoring data cables in proper storage and neat distribution, reducing the workload of medical staff. The wire storage box has won the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2017 2 1826195.0). The introduction goes as following. The storage box includes upper box body, lower box body and winding roller. The receptacle on the upper box body and the lower box body cooperate to form a cylindrical receptacle chamber for the winding roller. The side wall of the winding roller is designed with spiral winding groove which could help wrap the excessively long wires in the winding groove for storage. When multiple boxes need to be used simultaneously, the strip and slot on both sides of the lower box are used to splice the cable boxes together which improves the uniformity with less space use. The medical storage box is easy to make and can effectively avoid line friction and damage, prolong the line service life, and save department cost. In addition, it avoids the involvement between the lines, and improves the work efficiency. It also helps to keep the department environment tidy, which complies with "6S" management requirements, with good clinical application value.
