Child throat swab sampler

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, and concretely relates to a child throat swab sampler. The sampler comprises a main shell, a movable cavity is formed in one end of the main shell, a top cavity is formed above the movable cavity and connected with an inner cavity, a driving assembly is arranged in the inner cavity, and the driving assembly is connected with a sampling mechanism convenient to disassemble and assemble. Nasal clips are clamped on the two sides of the nose of a sampled person, a telescopic rod extends to push a pushing block to move, so that a first bearing moves, the end of a sampling rod is inserted into the pharynx of the patient, then another control button is pressed to start a motor to drive a driving wheel to rotate, the driving wheel drives a driven wheel to rotate through a connecting belt, and the connecting rod can rotate and drive a mounting block to rotate, so that the end part of the sampling rod rotates for a certain number of turns in the pharynx, the end part of the sampling rod can collect a required sample, the sampling operation can be completed, the sampling automation degree is high, the influence caused by human factors is greatly reduced, and the sampler is more convenient and safer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a throat swab sampler for children. Background technique [0002] Pharyngeal swab is a common tool in the examination of respiratory tract infection. In the existing process of collecting children's pharyngeal specimens, medical staff insert the swab into the patient's nasal cavity or oral cavity, and place the soft end of the swab on the pharynx after scraping. The collection tube is then sealed to obtain a sample. [0003] The current sampling method is that the medical staff manually insert the swab into the throat of the child. This method tests the skills of the medical staff. In some testing places, the flow of personnel increases. Since the hands of the medical staff are not fixed, if someone touches the swab at the scene Touching the arms of the medical staff may cause the swab to be inserted too deep, which may cause damage to the children's pharynx. After the s...

[0003] The current sampling method is that the medical staff manually insert the swab into the throat of the child. This method tests the skills of the medical staff. In some testing places, the flow of personnel increases. Since the hands of the medical staff are not fixed, if someone touches the swab at the scene Touching the arms of the medical staff may cause the swab to be inserted too deep, which may cause damage to the children's pharynx. After the sampling is completed, most of the swabs are held by the medical staff and transferred into the sampling tube, which may drop or touch other swabs. items, etc., which would result in contamination of the sample requiring re-sampling
