Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transportverpackung für medizinische diagnostische Proben mit einem Außenverpackungsbehälter und einem darin aufgenommenen Polstereinsatz.The invention relates to a transport packaging for medical diagnostic samples with an outer packaging container and an upholstery insert accommodated in it.
Derartige Transportverpackungen dienen zur Aufnahme von üblicherweise mehreren medizinischen diagnostischen Proben, die aus Arztpraxen, Krankenhäusern und Gesundheitsämtern zu Laboratorien oder Forschungsinstituten geschickt werden. In der Pharmaindustrie besteht die Notwendigkeit, medizinische diagnostische Proben für den Transport zu verpacken. Üblicherweise werden hierfür gepolsterte Versandtaschen verwendet.Such transport packaging is usually used to hold several medical diagnostic samples that from medical practices, hospitals and health offices to laboratories or research institutes. In the Pharmaceutical industry has a need for medical diagnostic Pack samples for transportation. Usually padded mailing bags are used for this.
Teilweise sind die zu verpackenden diagnostischen Proben als Gefahrgut anzusehen, nämlich wenn sie ansteckungsgefährlich sind. Dies ist insbesondere der Fall, wenn die diagnostischen Proben, beispielsweise Blut, andere Körperflüssigkeiten oder Gewebeproben, Erreger ansteckender Krankheiten enthalten. Da der Zweck der vorzunehmenden Diagnose oftmals gerade darin besteht festzustellen, ob solche ansteckenden Keime oder andere Erreger enthalten sind, müssen im wesentlichen alle medizinischen diagnostischen Proben potentiell als Gefahrgut angesehen werden. Dementsprechend werden an die hierfür vorgesehenen Transportverpackungen hohe Ansprüche hinsichtlich der Transportsicherheit gestellt.In some cases, the diagnostic samples to be packaged are as Look at dangerous goods, namely if they are contagious are. This is especially the case when the diagnostic Samples, for example blood, other body fluids or Tissue samples containing infectious diseases. There the purpose of the diagnosis to be made is often precisely this determine whether such contagious germs or others Pathogens included must be essentially all medical diagnostic samples potentially viewed as dangerous goods become. Accordingly, the intended for this Transport packaging high demands with regard to transport safety posed.
Da die medizinischen diagnostischen Proben häufig in aus Glas bestehenden Probenbehältern aufgenommen sind, muss durch die Transportverpackung in erster Linie sichergestellt sein, dass auch bei hohen Beanspruchungen ein Bruch der aus Glas bestehenden Probenbehälter weitestgehend ausgeschlossen ist.Because the medical diagnostic samples are often in glass existing sample containers must be accommodated by the Transport packaging first and foremost ensure that a breakage of the glass, even under high loads Sample container is largely excluded.
Hierbei muss aber in Betracht gezogen werden, dass solche medizinischen diagnostischen Proben nicht nur auf dem Postweg, sondern häufig auch durch Kurierdienste transportiert werden, die insbesondere für den innerstädtischen Transport Boten auf Motorrollern einsetzen. Damit ist bei einem Verkehrsunfall auch mit außerordentlich hohen Beanspruchungen der Transportverpackung zu rechnen, so dass ein Bruch der aus Glas bestehenden Probenbehälter nicht vollständig auszuschließen ist. Gleichwohl besteht die Forderung, dass auch in diesem Fall mit großer Zuverlässigkeit sichergestellt sein muss, dass kein Probenmaterial aus der Transportverpackung austreten kann.However, it must be taken into account that such medical diagnostic samples not just by post, but are also often transported by courier services, which in particular for inner-city transport messengers Use scooters. This is in a traffic accident even with extremely high loads on the transport packaging to be expected, so that a break of the glass Sample container cannot be completely excluded. Nevertheless, there is a requirement that in this case too great reliability must ensure that no Sample material can escape from the transport packaging.
Außerdem ist zu beachten, dass auch für das mit der Entnahme der Proben aus der Transportverpackung beschäftigte Personal eine Gefährdung bestehen kann, wenn beim Öffnen der Transportverpackung nicht rechtzeitig festgestellt wird, dass ein Probenbehälter beschädigt oder ausgelaufen ist.It should also be noted that for the removal personnel working on the samples from the transport packaging there may be a danger if the transport packaging is opened it is not determined in time that a sample container damaged or leaked.
Zum Transport von stoß- und bruchempfindlichen Gegenständen ist es bekannt, einen Postereinsatz aus Hartschaum, insbesondere Polystyrol-Hartschaum zu verwenden, der als Formteil ausgeführt ist und mehrere Nester zur Aufnahme der einzelnen Gegenstände aufweist. Der Hartschaum-Polstereinsatz ist in einem Außenverpackungsbehälter aufgenommen, der in den meisten Fällen als Faltkiste aus Wellpappe ausgeführt ist. Dadurch wird ein sehr guter Schutz gegen Stoßbelastungen erreicht. Kommt es jedoch im Extremfall trotzdem zu einem Bruch eines darin aufgenommenen Glasbehälters, so tritt die darin enthaltene Flüssigkeit aus der Verpackung aus und kann zu einer Verunreinigung von Ladeflächen, Transportbändern u.dgl. führen. Wenn es sich bei dieser Flüssigkeit um ein Gefahrgut handelt, so kommt zu der Verschmutzung noch eine erhebliche Gefährdung von Menschen hinzu.For transporting objects sensitive to impact and breakage it is known to use a poster insert made of rigid foam, in particular To use polystyrene rigid foam that runs as a molded part is and several nests for receiving the individual objects having. The hard foam cushion insert is in one Outer packaging container added, in most cases is designed as a folding box made of corrugated cardboard. This will very good protection against shock loads. It comes however, in extreme cases, a break in one included Glass container, so the liquid contained therein out of the packaging and may cause contamination of loading areas, conveyor belts and the like. to lead. If it this liquid is a dangerous good, so come to pollution is still a significant threat to people added.
Polstereinsätze aus Hartschaum, die in Außenverpackungsbehältern aus Wellpappe aufgenommen sind, haben darüber hinaus den Nachteil, dass ein hinsichtlich seines Volumens wesentlicher Bestandteil der Transportverpackung, nämlich der Polstereinsatz, nur mit größerem Aufwand zu entsorgen ist.Upholstery inserts made of hard foam in outer packaging containers made of corrugated cardboard also have the Disadvantage that an essential in terms of its volume Part of the transport packaging, namely the cushion insert, can only be disposed of with great effort.
Aus der DE 297 10 531 ist bekannt, medizinische Gegenstände steril in Folien einzuschweißen, den eingeschweißten Gegenstand seinerseits in einem Außenbeutel aufzunehmen, der von einem formstabilen Rahmen unverschiebbar gehalten wird. Der Rahmen befindet sich seinerseits in einem Behälter. Nachteilig an dieser Form der Verpackung ist, dass sie nur unzureichend gegen Beschädigungen aufgrund von Stößen geschützt ist, und dass im Falle eines Zerreißens der Schutzfolien austretende Flüssigkeit nicht aufgesogen wird.DE 297 10 531 discloses medical objects to be wrapped sterile in foils, the sealed object for its part in an outer bag, which is carried by one dimensionally stable frame is kept immovable. The frame is in turn in a container. Disadvantageous This form of packaging is inadequate against it Damage due to impact is protected, and that liquid escaping in the event of tearing of the protective films is not absorbed.
Durch die DE 299 21 203 und die DE 299 09 647 ist eine Transportverpackung bekannt, bei der ein Verpackungsgut auf einem Tragabschnitt angeordnet wird. Der Tragabschnitt ist federnd gelagert. Das Verpackungsgut wird auf dem Tragabschnitt mechanisch gesichert, indem der Tragabschnitt und das Verpackungsgut zusammen mit einer Kunststofffolie umwickelt werden. Diese Einheit wird ihrerseits in einen Umkarton gesetzt. Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Verpackung ist, dass die Verpackung unzureichend gegen Stöße von oben geschützt ist. Ferner kann die um das Verpackungsgut und den Tragabschnitt gewickelte Folie im Falle eines Bruchs des Verpackungsguts nicht zuverlässig verhindern, dass Flüssigkeit austritt.DE 299 21 203 and DE 299 09 647 are transport packaging known in which a product to be packaged on a Support section is arranged. The support section is resilient stored. The packaged goods become mechanical on the carrying section secured by the carrying section and the packaged goods be wrapped together with a plastic film. This The unit is placed in an outer carton. adversely with this known packaging, the packaging is insufficient is protected against impacts from above. Furthermore, the film wrapped around the packaged goods and the support section not reliable in the event of a break in the packaged goods prevent liquid from escaping.
Aus der DE 2 328 009 ist bekannt, Gegenstände in einem Polstereinsatz aufzunehmen, der mehrere Nester zur Aufnahme der Gegenstände aufweist und aus mehrlagig zusammengefalteter Wellpappe besteht.DE 2 328 009 discloses objects in a cushion insert to accommodate the multiple nests to accommodate the Has objects and from multilayer folded Corrugated cardboard exists.
Aus der DE 1 088 422 ist es bekannt, einen Polstereinsatz aus Wellpappe für die Aufnahme eines Gegenstandes aus einer Mehrzahl von Wellpappelagen herzustellen, die aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt gebildet sind, der falt- oder aufrollbar ist, um so eine kompakte Einheit zu bilden. In den Lagen befinden sich an geeigneter Stelle Ausschnitte, so dass im gefalteten Zustand der Polstereinsatz ein in der Form passendes Nest zur Aufnahme eines Gegenstands aufweist.From DE 1 088 422 it is known to use a cushion insert Corrugated cardboard for holding an object from a plurality of corrugated cardboard sheets made from a single Are formed blank that can be folded or rolled up, so to form a compact unit. In the layers are on appropriate spot cutouts so that when folded the upholstery insert a nest that fits in shape to accommodate of an object.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Transportverpackung für medizinische diagnostische Proben der eingangs genannten Gattung so auszubilden, dass eine einfach herzustellende Transportverpackung geschaffen wird, die einen sehr guten Schutz auch bei extremer Beanspruchung bietet und die selbst bei einer Zerstörung der darin aufgenommenen Probenbehälter den Austritt von Flüssigkeiten zuverlässig verhindert, sowie ein geeignetes Verpackungsverfahren anzugeben.The object of the invention is therefore a transport packaging for medical diagnostic samples of the aforementioned To develop a genus in such a way that it is easy to manufacture Transport packaging is created which is a very good one Offers protection even under extreme stress and that itself in the event of destruction of the sample containers contained therein reliably prevents the escape of liquids, and specify a suitable packaging process.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindungen gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindungen sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the inventions according to the independent Claims solved. Advantageous further developments of the inventions are marked in the subclaims.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Polstereinsatz mehrere Nester zur Aufnahme jeweils eines Probenbehälters aufweist, aus mehrlagig zusammengefalteter Wellpappe besteht und in einem flüssigkeitsdicht verschließbaren Schutzbeutel aus Kunststofffolie angeordnet ist, der in dem Außenverpackungsbehälter aufgenommen ist. Die Verwendung von mehrlagig zusammengefalteter Wellpappe mit darin ausgebildeten Nestern ergibt einen sehr stabilen, sehr hoch belastbaren, dabei aber elastischen und stoßabsorbierenden Polstereinsatz, der zudem einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen ist und bei seiner Entsorgung der Materialrückgewinnung zugeführt werden kann.This object is achieved in that the Upholstery insert several nests to hold one sample container each has, made of multi-layer corrugated cardboard exists and in a liquid-tight sealable Protective bag made of plastic film is arranged in the Outer packaging container is added. The use of multi-layer corrugated cardboard with formed therein Nests results in a very stable, very resilient, while doing so but elastic and shock absorbing padding, which is also easy and inexpensive to manufacture and at be disposed of for material recovery can.
Die Verwendung von Wellpappe als Material für Polstereinsätze ist an sich in zahlreichen Ausführungsformen bekannt. Oftmals bestehen die Polstereinsätze aus zu einem Vierkant gefalteten Rohren oder sind aus mehreren solcher Rohre zusammengesetzt. Die Verwendung von mehreren aufeinander liegenden Lagen von Wellpappe führt dazu, dass der Polstereinsatz außer den Nestern zur Aufnahme der Probenbehälter keine Hohlräume enthält und deshalb besonders zur Aufnahme sehr hoher Drücke geeignet ist, ohne sich dabei wesentlich zu verformen.The use of corrugated cardboard as a material for upholstery is known per se in numerous embodiments. often the upholstery inserts consist of a square folded Tubes or are composed of several such tubes. The use of several layers of Corrugated cardboard leads to the upholstery insert except the nests contains no cavities for receiving the sample container and therefore particularly suitable for absorbing very high pressures is without deforming significantly.
Wenn es zu einem Bruch oder einem Auslaufen eines Probenbehälters kommt, so wird die austretende Flüssigkeit von der den Polstereinsatz bildenden Wellpappe aufgesaugt und tritt auch dann nicht aus der Transportverpackung aus, wenn der den Polstereinsatz umgebende Schutzbeutel aus Kunststofffolie beschädigt ist.If a sample container breaks or leaks comes, the escaping liquid from the Padded corrugated cardboard is sucked up and also occurs then not out of the transport packaging when the upholstery insert surrounding protective bag made of plastic film damaged is.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Polstereinsatz aus einem einteiligen Zuschnitt aus Wellpappe besteht, in dem mehrere Einsatzlagen durch querverlaufende Faltlinien abgeteilt sind, und dass die Nester zur Aufnahme jeweils eines Probenbehälters durch übereinstimmende Ausstanzungen in mehrere Einsatzlagen gebildet sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, that the cushion insert from a one-piece blank consists of corrugated cardboard in which several layers of use are divided by transverse fold lines, and that the Nests for receiving one sample container each by matching Punched out in several positions are.
Damit lässt sich in fertigungstechnisch sehr einfacher Weise eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Formen und Abmessungen der Probenbehälter erreichen, indem nur die Ausstanzungen verändert werden.This is very simple in terms of manufacturing technology an adaptation to different shapes and dimensions of the Reach the sample container by changing only the cut-outs become.
Vorzugsweise sind die die Nester bildenden Ausstanzungen nur in den über der untersten, ungestanzten Einsatzlage angeordneten Einsatzlagen vorgesehen. Die jeweils unterste Einsatzlage bildet somit einen Boden, der Nester, so dass die eingelegten Probenbehälter auch bei der Handhabung des noch nicht weiter verpackten Polstereinsatzes darin sicher aufgenommen sind. Auβerdem bildet die unterste, ungestanzte Einsatzlage eine zusätzliche Versteifung der Transportverpackung.The punchings forming the nests are preferably only in the arranged above the lowest, punched position Deployment positions provided. The lowest operating position thus forms a bottom, the nests, so that the inserted Sample container even when handling the not further packaged cushion insert are securely accommodated in it. HOT STUFF the lowest, un-punched insert layer forms an additional one Stiffening of the transport packaging.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Schutzbeutel aus durchsichtiger Kunststofffolie. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass auch beim Auspacken einer im übrigen unbeschädigten Transportverpackung rechtzeitig festgestellt wird, ob einer oder mehrere der Probenbehälter ausgelaufen sind, ohne dass die Flüssigkeit hierbei aus dem Schutzbeutel ausgetreten ist. Damit wird verhindert, dass ein Schutzbeutel geöffnet wird, in dem sich ausgelaufene oder zerstörte Probenbehälter befinden.The protective bag is preferably made of more transparent Plastic film. This ensures that even when unpacking an otherwise undamaged transport packaging it is determined in good time whether one or more of the sample containers leaked without the liquid has emerged from the protective bag. This prevents that a protective bag is opened in which leaked or destroyed sample container.
Der Außenverpackungsbehälter wird zweckmäßigerweise aus Wellpappe hergestellt, die bei geringem Gewicht und einfacher Herstellungsmöglichkeit eine hohe Schutzwirkung bietet.The outer packaging container is expediently made of corrugated cardboard made with light weight and easy manufacturing offers a high level of protection.
Für die Entsorgung der benutzen Transportverpackung können deren Teile leicht getrennt und problemlos dem Wertstoffkreislauf zugeführt werden.For the disposal of the used transport packaging, their Parts easily separated and easily recyclable be fed.
