The method for using a disposable endoscope of the present embodiment performs a self-test procedure after the endoscope is started, and starts a test procedure after the self-test procedure is passed, that is, the method for using a disposable endoscope of the present embodiment increases the self-test procedure before insertion into a human body for test, so that the use condition of the disposable endoscope can be determined, and after the self-test procedure is passed, the test procedure of the disposable endoscope can be started for subsequent test, and if the self-test procedure is not passed, the test procedure cannot be started, and thus cannot be performed for subsequent test. Therefore, the use method of the disposable endoscope can forcefully prevent the disposable endoscope which does not pass the self-checking procedure from being used, so that the probability of cross infection of patients can be greatly reduced.
Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of the self-checking procedure of the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the self-test procedure includes the steps of:
step 101: acquiring image information on the endoscope insertion section 10, the image information including at least first image information of the insertion section body 11 and second image information of the identification section 12 located on the insertion section body 11;
step 102: comparing the image information on the inserting part 10 with the standard image information, and judging the consistency of the image information on the inserting part 10 and the standard image information;
step 103: when the image information on the inserting part 10 is consistent with the standard image information, acquiring the color information of the identification part 12, comparing the color information of the identification part 12 with the standard color information, and judging the consistency of the color information of the identification part 12 and the standard color information;
step 104: when the color information of the identification portion 12 matches the standard color information, a detection procedure of the endoscope is started.
The image information on the insertion portion 10 according to the embodiment is identical to the standard image information, which may mean that the image information on the insertion portion 10 is identical to the standard image information, or that the deviation between the image information on the insertion portion 10 and the standard image information is within a preset allowable range; the color information of the identification portion 12 in this embodiment is identical to the standard color information, and the color information of the identification portion 12 may be identical to the standard color information, or the deviation between the color information of the identification portion 12 and the standard color information may be within a preset allowable range. The preset allowable range referred to herein refers to a deviation due to a photographing error.
The self-test program of the present embodiment includes: the method comprises the steps of obtaining image information on the endoscope insertion part 10, comparing the image information on the insertion part 10 with standard image information, obtaining color information of the identification part 12, comparing the color information of the identification part 12 with the standard color information, and starting a detection program of the endoscope when the color information of the identification part 12 is consistent with the standard color information, wherein the image information on the insertion part 10 at least comprises first image information of the insertion part body 11 and second image information of the identification part 12 positioned on the insertion part body 11, the current information of the insertion part body 11 and the identification part 12 on the insertion part body 11 can be obtained by obtaining the image information on the insertion part 10, comparing the image information on the insertion part 10 with the standard image information, judging whether a photographed object is the insertion part body 11 and the identification part 12 on the insertion part body 11 at the time, and the self-checking program of the embodiment can ensure the reliability of the photographed object by confirming whether the photographed object is the insertion part body 11 and the identification part 12 on the insertion part body 11, so that the self-checking result can be ensured to avoid the problem of carrying out accurate processing or thorough replacement of the identification part 12; on the other hand, in the self-checking program of the present embodiment, only when the shooting object is ensured to be the insertion portion body 11 itself and the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11, the color information of the identification portion 12 is acquired and compared with the standard color information, and if the shooting object is not the insertion portion body 11 itself and the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11, the self-checking program is judged to be not passed, and the subsequent self-checking step is not performed any more, so that the self-checking efficiency is also improved. In the third aspect, the self-checking program of the present embodiment determines the change condition of the identification portion 12 by acquiring both the second image information of the identification portion 12 and the color information of the identification portion 12, which is helpful for improving the accuracy and reliability of the self-checking.
Namely, the method for using the disposable endoscope solves the technical problem that the disposable endoscope in the related technology cannot thoroughly avoid the repeated use of the endoscope.
According to a preferred embodiment, the self-test procedure further comprises the steps of: when the image information on the insertion section 10 has a deviation from the standard image information, the self-test procedure is ended, and the detection procedure of the endoscope is in a closed state; when the color information of the identification portion 12 has a deviation from the standard color information, the self-test procedure is ended, and the detection procedure of the endoscope is in a closed state. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deviation between the image information on the insertion portion 10 and the standard image information may be that the image information on the insertion portion 10 is different from the standard image information, or that the difference between the image information on the insertion portion 10 and the standard image information is outside the preset range; the color information of the identification portion 12 in this embodiment has a deviation from the standard color information, and may be that the color information of the identification portion 12 is different from the standard color information, or that the difference between the color information of the identification portion 12 and the standard color information is outside a preset range. The preset range referred to herein refers to a deviation range due to a photographing error.
In the method for using a disposable endoscope according to the preferred embodiment, when the image information on the insertion portion 10 deviates from the standard image information, it is indicated that the object to be photographed is not the insertion portion body 11 itself and/or the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11, and at this time, the insertion portion 10 may be already used, or the insertion portion body 11 and/or the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11 may be manually processed, and this case no subsequent self-inspection procedure is performed, and the inspection procedure of the endoscope is in a closed state. Similarly, in the method for using a disposable endoscope according to the preferred embodiment, when the color information of the marking portion 12 deviates from the standard color information, it is indicated that the marking portion 12 has changed in color, and at this time, it is possible that the insertion portion 10 has been used, that the marking portion 12 is blocked or replaced by a member having an incomplete color with the original marking portion 12, that the marking portion 12 after having been discolored is discolored, and that the self-inspection is determined to be failed, and that the inspection program of the endoscope is in a closed state, so that the use of the disposable endoscope that fails the self-inspection is forcibly prevented.
According to a preferred embodiment, in step 101, image information on the insertion portion 10 is acquired by the camera module 13 at the distal end of the insertion portion 10. Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of acquiring image information by the camera module 13, and as shown in fig. 3, the camera module 13 acquires image information including the steps of:
step 1011: bending the insertion part 10 and positioning the insertion part body 11 and the identification part 12 within the view window of the camera module 13;
step 1012: the image capturing module 13 captures the first image information of the insertion portion body 11 and the second image information of the identification portion 12.
The present invention is not limited thereto, and image information on the insertion section 10 may be acquired using a separate image pickup device.
In the usage method of the disposable endoscope according to the preferred technical solution of the present embodiment, the image information on the insertion portion 10 is obtained through the image capturing module 13 at the distal end of the insertion portion 10, that is, the image information on the insertion portion 10 is obtained by using the structure of the disposable endoscope itself, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the disposable endoscope and reducing the production cost thereof. Further, in the method for using a disposable endoscope according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the insertion portion 10 is bent so that the insertion portion body 11 and the identification portion 12 are located within the viewing window of the image capturing module 13, so that the image capturing module 13 can capture the current state of the insertion portion body 11 and the identification portion 12, so as to determine whether the capturing object is the insertion portion body 11 itself or the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11. The insertion portion body 11 itself and the marking portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11 herein refer to the insertion portion body 11 at the time of shipment of the disposable endoscope and the marking portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11 at this time, thereby ensuring that the endoscope insertion portion 10 is not used or damaged.
According to a preferred embodiment, in step 102, the standard image information is: the first standard image information of the insertion portion body 11 and the second standard image information of the identification portion 12 photographed when the insertion portion 10 is bent to a predetermined angle. Preferably, the first standard image information includes one or more of surface information, structure information, size information, and color information of the insertion portion body 11; the second standard image information includes one or more of position information, size information, and shape information of the identification portion 12. The surface information, the structure information, the size information, and the color information of the insert body 11 refer to, for example, the degree of abrasion, the curved shape, the diameter/thickness, and the skin color of the surface of the insert body 11, respectively. The position information, the size information, and the shape information of the identification portion 12 refer to, for example, the position of the identification portion 12 on the insertion portion body 11, the size of the identification portion 12, and the shape of the identification portion 12, respectively. In order to make the identification portion 12 less likely to be imitated, the identification portion 12 may be provided in a pattern having a complicated structure, such as an asymmetric irregular structure or the like. The first standard image information may include the remaining information of the insertion portion body 11, and the second standard image information may include the remaining information of the identification portion 12.
Preferably, the standard image information of the preferred technical solution of the present embodiment is in the form of a standard image information set, and the set has a plurality of groups of first standard image information and second standard image information, and specifically, each group of first standard image information and second standard image information is: when the insertion portion 10 is bent to a specific angle, the imaging module 13 captures first standard image information of the insertion portion body 11 and second standard image information of the identification portion 12. When the insertion portion 10 is bent to a specific angle, the first standard image information is a unique feature of the insertion portion body 11; the second standard image information is a feature uniquely determined by the identification section 12. For example, the standard image information set may be constructed as follows: when the insertion portion 10 is bent to 250 °, 260 °, 270 °, a set of first standard image information and second standard image information is obtained, respectively, and the first standard image information and the second standard image information obtained at the bending angles of 250 °, 260 °, 270 ° are combined, thereby obtaining a standard image information set.
