Flexible throat swab sampling device

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible throat swab sampling device. The flexible throat swab sampling device comprises a flexible throat swab body and a feeding device, wherein an airway is arranged in the flexible throat swab body, and the flexible throat swab body is arranged to be sleeved with a sampling part; the feeding device is connected with the flexible throat swab body; the airway is arranged for gas to enter; the flexible throat swab body is arranged to deform under the action of the gas entering the airway, so that the sampling part located in the mouth of a user scrapes the inner wallof the mouth of the user; and the feeding device is arranged to drive the flexible throat swab body to move. The flexible throat swab body of the flexible throat swab sampling device is made of a soft material, and can be bent as required; on the one hand, through friendly interaction with human bodies, symptoms such as nausea and cough caused by discomfort of patients are reduced, and viruses are prevented from spit and infection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nucleic acid detection, in particular to a flexible throat swab sampling device. Background technique [0002] The confirmation of respiratory infectious diseases requires nucleic acid testing. Nucleic acid testing is roughly divided into two steps: 1) collecting patient samples; 2) testing at the testing center. The first step of sample collection has relatively high requirements on the location of the collection, and it must reach the posterior pharyngeal wall or tonsil, otherwise the accuracy of the test will be affected. Doctors generally prepare a reagent stick (pharyngeal swab) similar to a long cotton swab and a reagent tube. The patient should take off the mask, then open his mouth and make an "ah" sound, so as to expose the posterior pharyngeal wall. At this time, the doctor extended the reagent stick to the back wall of the patient's pharynx, rubbed it and took a sample. Finally, pu...

Problems solved by technology

The virus coming directly to the face has greatly increased the risks faced by medical staff, and even caused some medical staff to be cross-infected

Moreover, in the process of manual sampling, due to factors such as differences in the operation of water products by different medical staff and irregularities in the collection process, there are differences in the quality of the swabs, which are prone to false negatives and affect the judgment of the disease.
