Automatic throat swab collection system and automatic throat swab collection method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic throat swab collection system and an automatic throat swab collection method. The automatic throat swab collecting system comprises a workbench, a first mechanical arm assembly, a second mechanical arm assembly, a test tube clamping assembly, a test tube rack sliding table assembly, a throat swab cutting assembly, an information collecting and guiding assembly, a to-be-detected head positioning assembly and a controller, the first mechanical arm assembly can drive the throat swab clamp to clamp a throat swab for collection, the second mechanical arm assembly can open and cover a test tube cover and place a test tube on the test tube rack, and the throat swab cutting assembly can cut off the throat swab and enable the throat swab to fall into the test tube. According to the automatic throat swab collection system, automatic collection of throat swabs can be achieved, the workload and infection risk of medical staff are reduced, and the system has great significance in war wound treatment, disaster rescue and infectious disease prevention and control.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an automatic throat swab collection system and an automatic throat swab collection method. Background technique [0002] The detection method of virus infection is mainly through nucleic acid inspection of samples collected by throat swabs. However, the collection of throat swab samples is a process with a high risk of infection and requires certain operational skills. During the sampling, the patient needs to open his mouth to expose the throat area. The sampling throat area is an area where the virus is relatively concentrated. When the patient breathes hard, coughs, etc., a large amount of droplets or aerosols can be produced. At present, the sampling room is mostly a closed area of ​​about 10 square meters, and the aerosol concentration in the sampling room is relatively high. Sampling medical staff collect throat swabs at close range, even with three-level protecti...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Sampling Medical staff collect throat swabs at close range. Even with three-level protection (wearing protective clothing, goggles, and gloves), there is a high risk of cross-infection

At the same time, during the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia, the number of infected people is large, and medical staff need to wear comprehensive protective equipment for a long time, resulting in excessive work intensity and long working hours

Moreover, due to various factors such as differences in the level of medical staff at different levels, psychological fear, and fatigue of medical staff during the collection of throat swabs, the operation of throat swab collection can easily lead to differences in swab quality and false negatives, which affect the diagnosis of the disease. judgment
