Medical transport bag

Abstract

Several travel bags, carriers and coolers are available in the market. However, these carriers are suitable for transporting drugs under one condition and don't serve many of the patients (and in particular the elderly) who have prescribed drugs that need to be stored at different temperatures in one unit. These carriers are, also, costly and aren't tailored to solve the problems that encounter many researchers in the labs and many patients. Accordingly, they were not effective in solving the problems of the waste of the drugs due to their improper storage or in preventing the adverse effects that can result from the damage of the drugs.

In contrast, the Medical Transport Bag is an economic transport system that can be used for transporting many samples and medicines in a cost-effective manner and under different controlled conditions in the same unit.

Claims

1. Portable Medical Transport Bag with delicate design that is cost effective and Environment friendly (use thermoelectric principle) for transporting all kinds of drugs/medicines, over the counter products and biological samples under adjusted balanced conditions (different ranges of temperature). Wherein the Medical Transport Bag is made out of fireproof and waterproof inert material. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag includes 2 separate built-in systems (for the heating and the cooling systems). Wherein the Medical Transport Bag has a handle to allow carrying the bag easily. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag has a shoulder strap to allow carrying the bag on the shoulder if the user prefers that. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag has proper zipper to isolate the environment inside the bag from the external one and to isolate every compartment. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag can be operated with a built-in 6000 mAh lithium battery that can be charged using a charger/adapter that has electrical plug or USB. Wherein the battery/charger of the Medical Transport Bag has low power consumption (3 W battery and 5 W charger). Wherein the Medical Transport Bag is suitable for storing the drugs at cold- or warm- or room temperature. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag contains 3 separate compartments for every storing temperature (at cold- or warm- or room temperature). Wherein the Medical Transport Bag includes knobs for adjusting the readings of the temperature Wherein the Medical Transport Bag is equipped with a control system for monitoring the temperature. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag contains a digital screen as a parameter display for the level of the temperature, the level of the charge and other parameters. Wherein the Medical Transport Bag is supplemented with a label to avoid mixing the drugs of the patients (in the same home or unit). Wherein the Medical Transport Bag provides privacy for the patient even if the patient used a shared fridge. Wherein The Medical Transport Bag can be manufactured at two sizes: a big size for transporting drugs and products at the large scale and a wallet/purse size that is suitable for storing the drugs of the patients at different conditions.

2. The Medical Transport Bag contains a system that works through the heat cycle in the warm compartment and a system that works through the cooling cycle in the cold compartment. Wherein the cold compartment in the Medical Transport Bag will include the same components of the fridge: a generator (for creating the ammonia gas), condenser (for cooling the hot ammonia to be condensed in liquid form), evaporator (for evaporating the liquid ammonia to gas to facilitate the cold environment) and absorber (for absorbing the ammonia gas in water). Wherein the warm compartment in the Medical Transport Bag will include a heating unit that is composed of the fan (to pass air to the evaporator so that the refrigerant evaporates) then to the electric compressor (which increases the temperature and pressure of the vapour) followed by passing the vapour to the exchanger (to produce heat) and finally to the expansion valve and the cycle repeats.

3. The Medical Transport Bag is equipped with an alarm system that can alert the patient for the expiration date, the doses or the time of taking the drugs and other information) that the patient stored in the software of the bag.
