AI Technical Summary
Existing urine specimen analyzers face challenges in accurately distinguishing Trichomonas vaginalis from other urine particles like white blood cells or squamous cells, leading to inaccuracies in infection detection.
A urine specimen analysis method and analyzer that enhances reliability by obtaining count information for Trichomonas vaginalis cells in conjunction with the number of squamous epithelium and white blood cells, using flow cytometry and specific staining reagents to differentiate particles, and outputting information on infection suspicion based on these counts.
Accurately determines the suspicion of trichomonas infection by enhancing the reliability of Trichomonas vaginalis cell counts even when other similar particles are present, reducing false positives.
