Definitions
- This invention belongs to electronic assemblies of the Timer type (timed switch), MKP classified as HO5K, to be exact, it is an electronic assembly (timer) that activates the alarm signalling the medical team to change the position of an immobilized patient in bed.
- My idea of the solution to this problem includes a timer that sends a signal every 2 hours during a 24-hour period reminding the medical team to turn the patient to the other side. This timer is easy to add to the existing alarm system signalling the medical team to tend to the needs of patients.
- the invention is comprised of electronic elements fitted in an assembly and designed to send a short impulse, every 2 hours over a 24-hour period, identical to the sound of buzzers installed above beds in all better equipped hospitals or hospices, which are operated by patients themselves.
- This electronic device is designed so that it can be added as required where there is a realistic danger of the above-mentioned problem (bedsores), by simply plugging it in the existing signalling device for the medical team, without any prior technical additions or changes, and plugging it out when the requirement ceases to exist.
- the above described operation does not require any technical knowledge or background; actually, after reading a short manual, all members of the medical team can operate this device unlimitedly, and, since it requires a low voltage to work, it does not pose any threat whatsoever.
- the device sends the impulse and activates a signal that stops only when a medical team member comes to the patient's room and turns it off by pressing the buzzer, and, of course, when the patient is turned to other side.
- the biggest problem is solved, i.e. the medical team FORGETTING (I repeat that this is caused by a number of reasons, such as stress and hard work) to tend to this regularly every two hours.
- the team can perform other assignments easier, but it is also deprived of an excuse for not performing this preventive action of vital importance for the patient in a regular manner.
- the invention is composed of an electronic plate with electronic elements attached to it, and a power supply box (4 x 1.5 V batteries), all fitted in an appropriate plastic casing, with a protruding cable of the required length with a plug on one end (identical to the one earlier attached to the end of the buzzer cable above the bed), and a matching socket on the other end, in which the existing buzzer cable can be plugged as required.
- One version of the device shall have a regulator with a timescale for adjusting the time that has to elapse between two impulses.
- One of the versions shall have a socket in the casing to enable power supply from a converter plugged in a 220 V socket, so that the device does not depend on the batteries.
- One of the versions of the device shall have a switch that will enable shutting down the device without plugging out the cables, meaning that it will not be necessary to remove or move the device, and that it will be easily re-activated with the switch if the need for that arises. This may be useful for wards with difficult patients who face high risk of bedsores, where this device could be permanently built in the signalling system.
- One of the versions has a built-in radio emitter that sends the signal to a radio receiver kept by the person who looks after the patient.
- the pulsating tone in the receiver can be turned off only by pressing the button on the main device, i.e. by or above the patient's bed. So if the person looking after the patient wants to turn off the pulsating tone when the signal reaches the receiver, for example, in the pocket, he or she has to go to the patient's room and press the appropriate button on the main device by or above the bed, and then, of course, turn the patient to the other side.
