Abstract

The color change of the success of the steam sterilization indicator used in steam sterilization is currently being read by relying on the human eye. The result of color change on the success of sterilization can only be accurately read and judged by trained personnel. Developed an automatic reading system for steam sterilization indicators for the current human-dependent system, and developed an automatic reading device system for reading methods that were previously relied on with the human eye to develop a system that is more accurate and easier for anyone to read.

스팀멸균에서 사용되는 스팀 멸균지시제(Steam sterilization Indicator)의 색변화 성공여부를 현재는 사람의 눈을 의존해서 판독하고 있다. 멸균의 성공여부에 대한 색변화의 결과는 숙련된 훈련을 받은 사람만이 정확하게 판독해서 판정을 내릴 수 있다. 스팀 멸균지시제에 대한 자동 판독시스템을 개발하여 기존 인간의 눈으로 의존해서 판독했던 방식을 기존보다 정확하고, 누구나 쉽게 판독하는 시스템을 개발하였다.
