  • Publication number: 20220199239
    Abstract: A storage management device stores sterilization information in which a sterilization ID of an instrument set and a rack ID of a rack number of a rack are associated with one another. A target rack ID assigned to the rack number of the rack in which the instrument set is stored is acquired. A target sterilization ID of the instrument set that is stored is acquired. The rack ID associated with the sterilization ID that matches the target sterilization ID is extracted from the sterilization information and the rack ID is determined as an extracted rack ID. Whether the extracted rack ID matches the target rack ID is determined. When the extracted rack ID does not match the target rack ID, a wrong rack is notified.

  • Publication number: 20220199242
    Abstract: A memory of a storage management device stores storage history information in which at least a storage ID of an instrument set including one or more medical instruments is stored and a sterilization ID indicating that sterilization processing has been performed on the instrument set are associated with one another. A processor executes sterilization ID acquisition processing to acquire a target sterilization ID of an instrument set that is a target to be stocked, determination processing to determine whether the sterilization ID that matches the target sterilization ID is included in the storage history information, and notification processing to notify, when it is determined in the determination processing that the sterilization ID that matches the target sterilization ID is included in the storage history information, that the instrument set having the target sterilization ID has been re-stocked.

  • Publication number: 20220199243
    Abstract: An instrument management device includes a memory and a processor to execute a program stored in the memory to perform display processing, acquisition processing, and counting processing. In the display processing, in reissuing a sterilization label that is issued when sterilization processing is performed on an instrument set including medical instruments, a reissuance reason registration screen including a reason specifying area via which an operator specifies a type of reissuance reason is displayed on a display device. In the acquisition processing, the type of reissuance reason specified in the reason specifying area is acquired and stored in the memory. In the counting processing, for each type of reissuance reason stored in the memory, a number of times the sterilization label has been reissued for a reason of the type of reissuance reason is counted.

  • Publication number: 20200004487
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program for moving objects makes it possible, even when movement objects are moved over other objects, to see these other objects. All first movement objects and second movement objects move in a horizontal direction in response to a horizontal swipe operation, but fixed objects are displayed when the movement objects overlap the fixed objects because the fixed objects are arranged in a layer that is higher than the one that the first movement objects and the second movement objects are in. All the second movement objects located on a vertical-direction side of a vertical swipe operation start point move in a vertical direction in response to a vertical swipe operation, but the first movement objects are displayed when the second movement objects overlap the first movement objects because the first movement objects are arranged in a layer that is higher than the one that the second movement objects are in.

  • Publication number: 20190311802
    Abstract: A surgical instrument management system includes a reader that reads an identification mark, and a management terminal that manages predetermined information associated with the identification mark, the predetermined information including a state of use of a surgical instrument. The management terminal includes a storage that stores the predetermined information and a predetermined discard condition under which the surgical instrument is to be discarded, an updater that updates the state of use of the surgical instrument, a first determiner that determines whether or not the state of use of the surgical instrument meets the discard condition, and a first notifier that, in the case where the first determiner determines that the state of use of the surgical instrument meets the discard condition, notifies that the surgical instrument needs to be discarded.
