Automatic throat swab sampling system

Abstract

The invention discloses a throat swab automatic sampling system. The throat swab automatic sampling system comprises a to-be-tested person identity information automatic checking and acquisition prompting unit, a to-be-tested person head positioning unit, a navigation positioning unit, a sample acquisition execution unit, a throat swab automatic loading and unloading unit and a remote monitoring unit which are arranged on a working platform; the navigation positioning unit enters the oral cavity of a to-be-detected person along with the tail end of the sample collection execution unit and is used for collecting a throat image and determining depth information between a depth sensor and the throat of the to-be-detected person; and the sample collection execution unit comprises a three-degree-of-freedom guide rail type device and a one-degree-of-freedom end execution mechanism. In a throat swab collecting process, real-time information of all the units is in communication with the remotemonitoring unit, and medical staff conduct real-time monitoring on the collected person and all the units through a computer in a remote safety room, so that measures are taken in time to guarantee safety and effectiveness of the whole process when an accident occurs. According to the system, full automation of the throat swab collection process is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical robots, and in particular relates to an automatic throat swab sampling system. Background technique [0002] At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has spread around the world. The detection method of virus infection is mainly through nucleic acid inspection of samples collected by throat swabs. However, the collection of throat swab samples is a process with a high risk of infection and requires certain operational skills. During the sampling, the patient needs to open his mouth to expose the throat area. The sampling throat area is an area where the virus is relatively concentrated. When the patient breathes hard, coughs, etc., a large amount of droplets or aerosols can be produced. At present, the sampling room is mostly a closed area of ​​about 10 square meters, and the aerosol concentration in the sampling room is relatively high. Sampling medical staff collect throat swabs at close range, eve...

Problems solved by technology

Sampling Medical staff collect throat swabs at close range. Even with three-level protection (wearing protective clothing, goggles, and gloves), there is a high risk of cross-infection

At the same time, during the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia, the number of infected people is large, and medical staff need to wear comprehensive protective equipment for a long time, resulting in excessive work intensity and long working hours

Moreover, due to various factors such as differences in the level of medical staff at different levels, psychological fear, and fatigue of medical staff during the collection of throat swabs, the operation of throat swab collection can easily lead to differences in swab quality and false negatives, which affect the diagnosis of the disease. judgment
