OXYGEN CYLINDER MANAGING SYSTEM FOR AT-HOME OXYGEN TREATMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oxygen cylinder managing system which enables the delivery of oxygen cylinders to the house of a patient efficiently. SOLUTION: A memory function storing the state of the oxygen consumed by the patient as oxygen consumption data is added to an oxygen flow rate setting machine or a respiratory tuner to be attached to an oxygen cylinder 52, and these oxygen consumption data are transmitted to an oxygen cylinder managing server 10 at any time. These oxygen consumption data are put in a database for every patient by the oxygen cylinder managing server, and the data of the monthly amount of the consumed oxygen are stored for every patient. This database is linked with patient information which patients utilize such as the size of the oxygen cylinder and the charging pressure of a filling place, and the number of oxygen cylinders to be delivered in the future based on the amount of the oxygen used in the past is determined from the stored data of the amount of the oxygen consumed, cylinder size and charging pressure. The managing server transmits oxygen cylinder delivery directions 22 to the terminal 20 of a service center on the basis of this oxygen cylinder delivery number. The service center directs the delivery of the specified number of oxygen cylinder to the filling trader and/or delivery trader who cover the house of the patient according to these delivery directions.
