Self-service collector for throat swab

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-service collector for a throat swab, and relates to the technical field of medical devices. The self-service collector comprises a tongue depressor, a handle and a collector, wherein the collector is installed above the handle, the tongue depressor is installed on one side of the handle, and the throat swab is installed above the tongue depressor; the collector is used for detecting whether the throat swab reaches the throat or not and driving the throat swab to move and rotate. The self-service collector is simple and reasonable in structure, the throat swab isinstalled in a collecting hole firstly, then the tongue root is pressed by the tongue depressor part, then the collector automatically collects a throat swab specimen, then the collector exits, and the throat swab is recycled and inspected. According to the device, a patient can conveniently take a throat swab specimen by himself / herself without operation of medical staff, the probability of crossinfection between doctors and patients can be effectively reduced, the use of protective equipment such as a protective suit is saved at the same time, the practicability is extremely high, and the self-service collector can be used for throat swab sampling of infectivity pneumonia.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a self-service throat swab collector. Background technique [0002] The diagnosis of novel coronavirus infection requires the collection of throat swabs for corresponding tests. The current detection method is to press the base of the tongue by the medical staff, and then take the secretion from the pharynx with a throat swab and send it for inspection. In the process of taking the specimen, because the medical staff is facing the patient and pressing the base of the patient's tongue, the patient is prone to cough and nausea, and the airgel sprayed out during this process can easily lead to infection of the medical staff. Therefore, medical staff have to wear highly protective equipment to take samples. Even so, the risk of infection is still high. And let the patient take the specimen by himself, and because he can't see his pharynx, he can't get the specimen accuratel...
