Abstract

The invention discloses a medical multipurpose sampling swab, a sampler, a sampling system and a control method.The sampling swab comprises a sampling head and a supporting rod, the sampling head comprises a swab crown, a connecting section and an elastic section, the elastic section is arranged on the front portion or the rear portion of a breaking groove, the connecting section is arranged between the elastic section and the swab crown, and the connecting section is arranged between the elastic section and the swab crown; the swab crown is arranged at the front part of the elastic section; the whole swab crown is ellipsoidal, the outer surface of the front half part of the swab crown is a smooth arc surface, and a plurality of sampling grooves which are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction and concave inwards are formed in the arc surface of the outer surface of the rear half part of the swab crown; the outer surface of the swab crown is coated with a sampling material layer; and a clamping part is arranged at the tail part of the supporting rod. By synchronously improving the sampling swab, the sampler, the sampling system and the control method, the usability, universality and safety of the product are improved, digital management of the whole sampling process is achieved, sampling instruments are universalized, safe and convenient, the informatization and intelligence level is high, and sampling is efficient and reliable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment and information technology, in particular to a medical multipurpose sampling swab, a sampler, a sampling system and a control method. Background technique [0002] Existing sampling swabs collect biological samples (microbes) from specific parts through the natural orifice of the human body or animals to assist hospitals or laboratories in detecting pathogens and diagnosing diseases. With the spread of the "new crown" epidemic around the world, nucleic acid testing is currently an important basis for the diagnosis and prevention and control of new coronavirus pneumonia. It plays an important role in disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation, and the collection of throat swabs is an important one. ring. Since microorganisms such as the new coronavirus can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, during the current swab sampling operation, medical staff are in close contact with pati...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, in addition to the first-level protection for the collection of throat swabs, protective clothing, medical protective masks, protective face shields, shoe covers, etc. are required. Although the above methods can effectively protect medical staff, they cannot solve the problem from the root cause

[0004] Sampling swabs, samplers and sampling methods in the prior art have the problems of strong specificity and insufficient versatility, and are generally only suitable for one of the oral cavity or nasal cavity, and cannot simultaneously take throat swabs, nasal swabs, and anal swabs into consideration. As well as various body cavities such as vaginal swabs, it can only support the sampling operation of the tested personnel by professional medical personnel, and does not support the self-service sampling operation of the detected personnel, and the sampling operation of non-professional medical personnel

The current sampling swabs do not support personalization and informatization, and the collection, collection, and testing process requires multiple personnel and multiple positions to operate, which is time-consuming and laborious

Even if the testing is performed by professional medical personnel, due to the manual operation, it is inevitable that there will be problems such as irregular sampling operation process, inconsistent depth and strength, poor sampling stability, and poor experience of the tested personnel.

[0005] Sampling swabs, samplers and sampling methods in the prior art can only support sampling operations, but cannot support other operations such as dressing, and have a single purpose

Sampling swabs and samplers in the prior art mostly focus on respiratory disease sampling, and it is difficult to take into account the acquisition of test materials through the anus, vagina, ear canal, etc., and sampling of other diseases

If the epidemic is over, mass production of these swabs and samplers will cause waste of resources

[0006] The swab sampling method for nucleic acid detection in the prior art generally adopts centralized, group, and large-scale sampling methods. The tested personnel need to queue up in long lines and go to special locations for centralized collection by specialized personnel, which cannot be targeted at different risk levels. The objects to be tested, taking into account the needs of individual and group sampling, using decentralized and self-service sampling, there is a risk of cross-infection between the staff and the sampled personnel

When sampling, there is a risk of cross-infection, as well as time-consuming and labor-intensive problems

[0007] In the existing swab sampling process, the process of identity authentication and registration of the tested personnel is cumbersome and the degree of informatization is not high. Basically, the information of the sampled personnel is entered by professionals on the spot; at the same time, there is still a swab sampling Before and after inspection materials or container labeling (handwritten labels, codes, etc. on sealed bottles), medical personnel also need to manually collect, handwrite and enter information such as sampling swabs, labels, and codes of sealed containers, and then the inspection personnel Manual identification and input are prone to errors; in addition, existing methods and equipment cannot automatically collect and save sampling process data (such as sampling depth, pressure, angle, etc.), and lack a full-process, automated, and efficient management system. The sampling and detection process takes a lot of time, employs a lot of people, has low efficiency, high cost, and little data

[0008] In summary, the existing sampling swabs, samplers, sampling methods, and sampling management systems cannot meet the normalized epidemic prevention and control system, and cannot meet various needs such as "combination of usual and emergency sampling, and combination of individual and group sampling"
