Definitions
- the invention relates to a control device for fluid containers of flexible material and particular ⁇ ly for level control of stomi bags (stomi bandage) .
- a problem for many stomi patients is that the stomi bag will be too full and will loosen, which easily occurs in the night when the patient is asleep and therefore has no control over the stomi bag. Due to the stomi bag coming loose the contents thereof partly can flow out and cause inconvenience. Accordingly, there is a pressing demand for an effective and reliable control device which in one manner or the other can indicate that the stomi bag has reached such a level that it should be emptied.
- the invention can also be used in other connections, e.g as emptying alarm for infusion bags.
- the control device comprises in a known manner an elastic member which is adapted to be fixedly connected with the container wall at the two ends thereof to extend over an extensible portion of the container wall, and in order to overcome particularly the problems in con ⁇ nection with stomi bags this device has obtained the characterizing features of claim 1.
- FIG 1 is a plan view of a sensor forming part of the device of the invention
- FIG 2 is a side view of the sensor in an un- activated condition
- FIG 3 is a corresponding side view of the sensor in an activated condition
- FIG 4 is a plan view of a strip of elastic foil having an elastic resistance element connected therewith, which can form part of the sensor,
- FIG 5 is a side view of a container having a sensor mounted thereon, which is connected to an alarm device,
- FIG 6 is a side view similar to that of FIG 5 of an embodiment wherein the sensor is integrated with the container, and
- FIG 7 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view, taken along line A-A in FIG 6.
- the sensor of FIG 1 to 3 comprises a strip 10 which can consist of an elastomer (e.g. silicon rub ⁇ ber) having carbon powder admixed thereto in order to form as such an electric resistance element, or ac ⁇ cording to FIG 4 can consist of a stretchable foil 11 having an electric resistance element 10 attached thereon or embedded therein, said element being of the mentioned construction, elastomer with carbon powder.
- the resistance element 10 has an electric resistance which changes by elastic stretching of the element.
- the resistance element is connected with electric contacts 12, which are fixed to the ends of a flexible but non-elastic band 13 having a shorter length than the strip 10 so that the sensor, when left on its own, will be in the con ⁇ dition which is shown in FIG 2, i.e. the band 13 forms an arch over the retracted (not stretched) strip 10.
- On the lower side of the strip 10 there is applied at the ends of the strip where the strip is widened to form circular plates 14, self-adhering glue 15 preferably covered by protection tape.
- the strip 10 or the resistance element 10 at ⁇ tached thereto can be stretched as much as is allowed by the non-elastic band 13 so that the sensor will be in the condition according to FIG 3, and in this con ⁇ dition wherein the resistance element has an elonga ⁇ tion determined by the band 13, and thus an electric resistance of a predetermined value, the sensor can be attached to a stomi container 16, FIG 5, which consists of a flexible plastic bag. When the sensor has been attached and it is released, it will return to the condition according to FIG 2, a single fold or a folded or wrinkled portion 17 of the wall of the stomi bag being formed.
- a conduit 18 is connected to the contacts 12 in order to connect the sensor with an alarm box 19 which has an acoustic or visual alarm means 20 and 21, respectively.
- the alarm box can be provided with means replacing or supplementing said alarm means, which give an alarm in the form of a vibration which is directed from the alarm box to ⁇ wards the skin of the stomi patient.
- electric circuits which activate these alarm means when the resistance of the sensor element has a predetermined value preferably corre ⁇ sponding to the resistance value mentioned above, when the band 13 is extended.
- the alarm box can be arranged for mounting at a suitable position on the body of the stomi patient under the clothes or at a suitable position in or on a garment.
- the stomi bag has a fold or a folded or wrinkled portion in case the ma ⁇ terial from which the stomi bag is made as such can be stretched or extended.
- the sensor is permanently attached to the stomi bag to be delivered together with the bag from the manufacturer thereof.
- the resistance element 10 as shown in FIGS 6 and 7 can be attached directly to the bag wall at the ends thereof over the folded or ex ⁇ tensible portion 17.
- the contacts 12 can be im ⁇ bedded between the bag wall and an outer layer 13' on said wall by fusion, said outer layer replacing the band 13 in the embodiment according to FIGS 1 to 5.
- the resistance element is located between the layer 13' and the container wall or integrated with the container wall in another manner, the resistance element being located on or in the container wall. The only thing that the user has to do in this case is to connect the alarm box to the stomi bag.
- the device described can be used in a corre ⁇ sponding manner as an emptying alarm at an infusion bag.
- the sensor is provided on the lower portion of the package and will retract as the infusion bag is being emptied.
- the sensor in this case is pro ⁇ vided in order to activate the alarm means at the resistance value existing when the sensor is in a retracted condition.
- the sensor always will retract during emptying from a predetermined initial condi ⁇ tion determined by the band 13 so that one knows with certainty that the resistance value trigging the alarm is reached when the contents of the infusion bag are running out.
