Simple throat swab self-service collecting device

Abstract

The invention relates to a simple throat swab self-service collecting device, which belongs to the technical field of medical detection and comprises a rod body, a mirror and a throat swab. The rod body comprises a handle and a tongue depressor, the front end of the tongue depressor is provided with a light source, the middle section is a hollow groove, and a mirror (the mirror surface faces the front end of the tongue depressor) is fixed above the rear end; and the throat swab is a folded throat swab or is sleeved on the folded rod. During self-service collection, a user holds the handle with one hand, the tongue depressor goes deep into the oral cavity, the tongue is pressed down, a light source at the front end of the tongue depressor illuminates the pharynx, and the user observes the position of the pharynx through the mirror; the other hand holds the folded throat swab, the throat swab passes through the hollow groove in the middle section of the tongue depressor, the sampling head of the throat swab goes deep into the oral cavity, secretions of the two palatal arches, the throat and the tonsil are quickly wiped through the sampling head, then the sampling head of the throat swab extends into the collecting tube, the throat swab is broken at the concave position of the middle section of the throat swab, and the sampling head falls into the collecting tube. The device is simple, quick and accurate, and the key point is to avoid the infection risk possibly caused by collection by others.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical detection, in particular to a simple self-service collection device for throat swabs. Background technique [0002] Pharyngeal swab examination is an important examination method for the diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia or other respiratory pathogenic microorganism infection. The collected pharyngeal secretions (including exfoliated pharyngeal epithelial cells) can be tested for nucleic acid. Once the test results show as If it is positive, it can be diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia or other pathogenic microorganisms. But for the sampling personnel, the collection process is highly dangerous and has the risk of being infected. Therefore, the sampling personnel need three levels of protection, high cost, physical discomfort, high work intensity, and mental stress; at the same time, in the absence of sampling personnel, they cannot Sampling cannot be completed in time and anywhere.
