- the nursecall device normally includes control circuitry inside a case and is placed in a patient's bed for easy access. Because the nursecall device can be located anywhere in the bed with the patient, the unit can easily become contaminated with various contaminants (e.g., debris, bodily excretions, bathwater, drugs, infectious bacteria and viruses, etc.). The case is cleaned and sterilized between patients, but this does not prevent contaminants from entering the nursecall device during use. These contaminants can damage the control circuitry, requiring the unit to be serviced.
- the nursecall device often also has buttons, switches, dials, and/or seams that may trap contaminants, making them difficult to remove. Further, contaminants can potentially leak back out of the unit, increasing the possibility of cross-contamination and/or cross-infections. In many cases, these contaminants are not detected until the nursecall device is taken apart for servicing.

Abstract
A disposable shield designed to sheath a patient control device prevents contaminants from contacting or entering the device. The shield has a bi-directional opening through which the hand-operated device is inserted and removed from the shield. A removable sealing device is used to preserve the integrity of the shield when the sealing device is removed. The shield can therefore be changed each time the device is handled by a different person, minimizing the chances of cross-contamination. The shield also extends the life of the device by preventing biological contaminants from contacting the device.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Application. No. 10/214,518, filed on Aug. 8, 2002, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/390,619 filed on Jun. 21, 2002.
- The present invention relates to patient control devices, such as nursecalls, light controls, and television controls, used in medical facilities, and more particularly to a cover for protecting a patient control device.
- Medical facilities, such as hospitals, use patient control devices, such as nursecall devices, to allow patients to alert nurses and control environmental settings such as light levels and television channels. The nursecall device normally includes control circuitry inside a case and is placed in a patient's bed for easy access. Because the nursecall device can be located anywhere in the bed with the patient, the unit can easily become contaminated with various contaminants (e.g., debris, bodily excretions, bathwater, drugs, infectious bacteria and viruses, etc.). The case is cleaned and sterilized between patients, but this does not prevent contaminants from entering the nursecall device during use. These contaminants can damage the control circuitry, requiring the unit to be serviced. The nursecall device often also has buttons, switches, dials, and/or seams that may trap contaminants, making them difficult to remove. Further, contaminants can potentially leak back out of the unit, increasing the possibility of cross-contamination and/or cross-infections. In many cases, these contaminants are not detected until the nursecall device is taken apart for servicing.
- Also, the case is often made of a porous material, making it susceptible to premature damage as it absorbs cleaning solvents and other liquids. The case should be cleaned frequently for proper hygiene, but the harsh solvents may discolor or even damage the case, especially over time.
- There is a desire for a structure that prevents contaminants from entering the nursecall device or being trapped in crevices on the case while still allowing the nursecall device to be easily operable by a patient.
- The present invention is directed to a shield that covers a patient control device, such as a nursecall device. In one embodiment, the shield is designed to form-fit the case of the nursecall device. Bubbles or soft elevations may be formed in the shield over buttons and/or dials on the nursecall device so they can be operated through the shield. The shield may be formed of a flexible, resilient light-passing material so that it fits snugly around the case to prevent contaminants from contacting or entering the nursecall device itself. By preventing contaminants from entering the nursecall device and damaging the nursecall device circuitry, the shield extends the life of the nursecall device and reduces the need for frequent servicing.
- In one embodiment, the shield is a single-use, disposable shield having a bi-directional opening configuration that allows easy insertion and removal of the nursecall device. The shield can therefore be changed frequently and disposed, minimizing the chances of biological cross-contamination between patients.

FIGS. 1 through 4 illustrate ashield 100 designed to cover a patient control device (e.g., a nursecall, television control, light control, all-in-one unit, etc) 102. In one embodiment, theshield 100 has asheath portion 101 with a shape that generally matches the shape of thenursecall device 102 so that theshield 100 will conform to the nursecall device's 102 shape without leaving any undesired gaps between theshield 100 and theunit 102. In one embodiment, thesheath portion 101 has one ormore elevations 104 that ultimately are aligned above one ormore controls 106 on the nursecall device, such as a lever or a dial. - The material used to form the
shield 100 may be any material that allows thesheath portion 101 to fit snugly around thenursecall device 102 while still being flexible enough to allowcontrols 106 to be operated through theelevations 104 and through theshield 100 itself. Because thecontrols 106 are touched frequently and often have crevices, they are normally prone to trapping biological contaminants. Theelevations 104 guard thecontrols 106 by preventing direct contact between thecontrols 106 and any potential contaminants. Further, theelevations 104 allow tactile detection of thecontrols 106, while the flexibility of the shield material allows the user to push down on theelevation 104 to reach thecontrols 106. Note thatelevations 104 do not need to be provided for everycontrol 106 on theunit 102. As shown inFIG. 1 , for example, thecontrols 106 also include buttons that can be operated directly through thesheath portion 101 of theshield 100. Generally, anelevation 104 may be included for anycontrol 104, such as a dial or a lever, whose operation may involve more freedom of movement than an unelevatedsheath 101 area would allow. - In one embodiment, the
shield 100 material is also resilient so that it can be stretched around thenursecall device 102 as thenursecall device 102 is inserted into thesheath portion 101 while still being able to conform itself around thenursecall device 102. Possible shield materials include, but are not limited to, polyurethane, vinyl, latex, nitrile, or any other materials having similar resilient properties. In one embodiment, theshield 100 is made of a synthetic material. - The
shield 100 may be formed via any known manufacturing process that is appropriate for the material being used, including but not limited to casting, blow molding, and dip casting. The material itself may be woven or a film, depending on the desired characteristics of theshield 100. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other materials and other manufacturing processes can be used to form theshield 100 without departing from the scope of the invention. In one embodiment, theshield 100 material is between 1 and 5 mm thick and passes light so that thecontrols 106 and/or labels on thenursecall device 102 can be seen through thesheath portion 101. Further, theshield 100 is preferably seamless, with no cracks or crevices that could trap contaminants. Theshield 100 may be formed withrounded edges 110 to simplify manufacturing and to improve the appearance of theshield 100 when it is on thenursecall device 102. Theshield 100 may also be designed to allow clearance between theshield 100 and thenursecall device 102 to make theshield 100 easier to install and remove. - The
shield 100 has anopen edge 114 of abi-directional passage 115 through which thedevice 102 is inserted and removed. Although the illustrated embodiment shows anopen edge 114 having the same width as the widest portion of thenursecall device 102, the material used for theshield 100 may be resilient enough to allow theopen edge 114 to be narrower than thenursecall device 102. This would allow at least a portion of the top of thenursecall device 102 to be covered by theshield 100. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theopen edge 114 of theshield 100 may be bunched around acord 120 of thenursecall device 102 and sealed by a clamp, adhesive tape, or otherremovable sealing device 122 attached to thecord 120. Regardless of thespecific sealing device 122 used, it should be removable without damaging theshield 100 to maintain the integrity of thebi-directional passage 115. This ensures that theshield 100 can be removed from theshield 100 through thesame passage 115 that it was inserted. By using aremovable sealing device 122, theshield 100 can be removed cleanly without cutting or rupturing theshield 100, which would otherwise cause biological contaminants on the shield surface to contact thenursecall device 102. -
FIG. 4 is a plan view of theshield 100 attached to abacking 124, such as a paper backing. Thebacking 124 stabilizes theshield 100 so that thenursecall device 102 can be inserted easily into theshield 100. Once the nursecall device is inserted into theshield 100, thebacking 124 can be peeled off to free theshield 100 and allow thesealing device 122 to be attached. In one embodiment, thesealing device 122 is an adhesive strip that can also be peeled off thebacking 124 and wrapped around thecord 120. By placing both theshield 100 and thesealing device 122 on the same backing, the invention is more convenient to use. - As a result, the inventive shield structure blocks contaminants from being trapped on or inside a patient nursecall device, reducing the risks of cross-contamination when the units are handled by multiple people. The shield also protects the nursecall device itself by blocking contaminants from entering the nursecall device and damaging the circuitry and preventing harsh fluids, such as cleaning solvents, from damaging the exterior case of the nursecall device. Because the shield is disposable, it can be frequently changed as needed to keep the nursecall device clean. Also, the dimensions of the shield can be customized so that it can precisely fit any particular nursecall device or other patient control device; different shields can be used for different devices.
- Although a preferred embodiment of this invention has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.
