Abstract

To provide a storage tray in which flexible tubes are to be stored and with which the efficiency of work to be performed after priming can be improved. A storage tray that stores a flexible tube to be attached to a medical apparatus, the flexible tube allowing fluid to flow therethrough. The storage tray includes a tray body that is securable to a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus and in which the flexible tube is storable, and a receiving portion that is included in the tray body and is capable of receiving a priming solution, which is used for flushing the flexible tube attached to the medical apparatus, and storing a predetermined volume of priming solution.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A storage tray that stores a flexible tube to be attached to a medical apparatus, the flexible tube allowing fluid to flow therethrough, the storage tray comprising:
a tray body that is securable to a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus and in which the flexible tube is storable; and
a receiving portion that is included in the tray body and is capable of receiving a priming solution and storing a predetermined volume of priming solution, the priming solution being used for flushing the flexible tube attached to the medical apparatus; and
wherein the flexible tube connects a storage bag and the receiving portion so that priming solution extends from the storage bag through the flexible tube, flushing the flexible tube, and into the receiving portion; and
wherein the receiving portion includes a covering portion that covers a storage space in which the priming solution is stored, and
wherein the covering portion has an insertion hole into which a cap is inserted; wherein the storage tray includes storage portions capable of storing one of the flexible tubes in a wound state and the storage portions include a spool part, a fitting part, and a lid part; wherein the one of the flexible tubes are windable around the spool part; wherein the fitting part is located on an upper surface of the spool part and the fitting part is substantially a same shape and size as an end portion of the flexible tube so that the fitting part receives and secures the end portion of the one of the flexible tubes that is wound around the spool part.

2. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible tube has a discharge portion from which the priming solution is dischargeable, and wherein in a state where the flexible tube is stored in the tray body, the discharge portion is set in a state where the priming solution is dischargeable into the receiving portion.

3. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the tray body includes a securing portion that is capable of securing a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus such that the tray body is detachable from and attachable to the medical apparatus.

4. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the tray body includes a storage portion in which each flexible tube is storable in a wound state.

5. The storage tray according to claim 4 , wherein the storage portion includes a spool part around which the flexible tube is windable to be stored, a fitting part in which an end portion of the flexible tube wound around the spool part is fittable and securable, and a lid part that covers the flexible tube wound around the spool part and prevents the flexible tube from coming off the spool part.

6. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the storage tray includes calibration lines.

7. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the storage tray is a resin molded member.

8. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the tray body includes a receiving portion and a securing portion that are folded relative to one another.

9. The storage tray according to claim 8 , wherein a side peripheral portion of the tray body is folded into an L shape.

10. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the storage tray includes a securing portion that is configured to hook on a securing portion of a medical apparatus.

11. The storage tray according to claim 1 , wherein the storage portions are four storage portions.

12. The storage tray according to claim 11 , wherein the four storage portions are a flushing line storage portion, a calibration line storage portion, a patient line storage portion, and a saline solution line storage portion.

13. A storage tray that stores a flexible tube to be attached to a medical apparatus, the flexible tube allowing fluid to flow therethrough, the storage tray comprising:
a tray body that is securable to a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus and in which the flexible tube is storable; and
a receiving portion that is included in the tray body and is capable of receiving a priming solution and storing a predetermined volume of priming solution, the priming solution being used for flushing the flexible tube attached to the medical apparatus;
wherein the flexible tube has a discharge portion from which the priming solution is dischargeable, and wherein in a state where the flexible tube is stored in the tray body, the discharge portion is set in a state where the priming solution is dischargeable into the receiving portion;
wherein the discharge portion is provided with a cap that covers and protects the discharge portion, and wherein the cap is inserted into the receiving portion with the flexible tube stored in the tray body;
wherein the receiving portion includes a covering portion that covers a storage space in which the priming solution is stored, and
wherein the covering portion has an insertion hole into which the cap is inserted.

14. The storage tray according to claim 13 , wherein the tray body includes a securing portion that is capable of securing a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus such that the tray body is detachable from and attachable to the medical apparatus.

15. The storage tray according to claim 14 , wherein the tray body includes a storage portion in which each flexible tube is storable in a wound state.

16. A storage tray that stores a flexible tube to be attached to a medical apparatus, the flexible tube allowing fluid to flow therethrough, the storage tray comprising:
a tray body that is securable to a predetermined portion of the medical apparatus and in which the flexible tube is storable; and
a receiving portion that is included in the tray body and is capable of receiving a priming solution and storing a predetermined volume of priming solution, the priming solution being used for flushing the flexible tube attached to the medical apparatus; and
wherein the flexible tube connects a storage bag and the receiving portion so that priming solution extends from the storage bag through the flexible tube, flushing the flexible tube, and into the receiving portion;
wherein the tray body includes a storage portion in which each flexible tube is storable in a wound state;
wherein the storage portion includes a spool part around which the flexible tube is windable to be stored, a fitting part in which an end portion of the flexible tube wound around the spool part is fittable and securable, and a lid part that covers the flexible tube wound around the spool part and prevents the flexible tube from coming off the spool part; and
wherein the storage portion has an indication showing a position of connection and/or an order of connection of the flexible tube wound around the spool part to the medical apparatus.
