Description

For vaginal fluid collect from sampling equipment
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to screenings and healthy control field.More particularly, the present invention relate to vaginal fluid surveys Examination from sampling equipment, with detect for example with the relevant cervical carcinoma of virus, microorganism infection and pathological change.
Background
Pap smear, cervical smear or smear test are for detecting in uterine neck before potential cancer and the uterine neck of cancer disease process The different names of screening method.Abnormal results are often followed by more sensitive diagnostic program, and if it is necessary, are followed by dry In advance, which is intended to that cervical carcinoma is prevented to continue to develop.The laboratory point for the common type that sample material to being derived from vagina carries out Analysis is the DNA analysis for HPV (human papilloma virus).Traditionally, cervical smear test is needed with sampling equipment (for example, scraping Knife or brush) scrape women uterine neck.Usually by the medical professional in clinical setting, (such as gynaecologist helps for this sampling Production scholar or nurse) it executes.Many women avoid this gynecologial examination now, and if sampling can be at home and/or by female Property oneself carry out if, they can participate in this gynecologial examination.Therefore, self and family sample and will increase the participation of screening, And in this way, reduce the incidence of cervical carcinoma.2003/0028123 A1 of US disclose intravaginal from the thin of application Born of the same parents' collecting device, but there is no snap-fit connection.US 5,445,164A are disclosed in the case of cervical tissue sampling equipment Quick release attachment device, but the relieving mechanism is based on making sleeve slide lug and part until being engaged afterwards in an axial direction Exposure.Then pin can be manually made to be detached from hole, to complete the separation of bar and axis.In addition to that mentioned above, it is also necessary to be used for DNA The sampling system of analysis.Law enforcement official, patriarchy agent etc. often take DNA sample to help to solve crime, determine father Deng.Since the test result carried out to these samples significantly affects people’s lives, and may be needed in lawsuit As evidence, sampling must be carried out in a manner of sample contamination is reduced or avoided.
One of the system suitable for self-test is described in the European patent EP 1903946B1 of Sweden Aprovix AB Example.The known system brings many advantages better than prior art solution.
Sample collection member is by snap-fit connection removedly with axis connection, and the snap-fit connection is by sample The protruding portion of the end of collection device is formed, and is suitable for snapping into the extension at the other end of axis In slot in.With snapping fit attachment depending on the precise match between protruding portion and slot, so as to consistently for protruding portion and slot It executes for sample collection member is remained connected to handle, and also allows when sample collection member is in salable unit When, sample collection member is detached with handle.This precise match needs the component (the i.e. handle and sample collection that have to being produced Element) measurement extensive quality system.Test is time-consuming and expensive, and therefore discards the portion produced in batch Part.
Using during being sampled from sampling equipment shown in EP1903946B1, there is risk slightly, i.e., excessively Lateral force make the snap-lock between sample collection ontology and handle engagement be detached from, cause sampling when lose to sample collection The control of ontology.In addition, by the rotation of sample collection member, protruding portion is discharged from the slot in be contained in extension.However, At least to a certain extent, protruding portion usually also tends to grasp recess portion after rotation, is prevented from wherein being readily detached from.
Therefore, it is necessary to it is a kind of it is improved consistently executed from sampling equipment, and do not need extensive quality in production Test.
It summarizes
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of improved from sampling equipment, which alleviates disadvantages mentioned above.
According to the first aspect of the invention, by for the vaginal fluid (vaginal fluid) from user's vagina Realize the purpose and other purposes from sampling equipment, it is described from sampling equipment include for being inserted into the elongated of user's vagina The first noumenon and for from user collect vaginal fluid sample sample collection ontology.Sample collection ontology can pass through Releasable connecting device is attached to the inner end part of elongated the first noumenon.Elongated the first noumenon is configured so that it can be by User's operation from vagina with the sample collection ontology for being attached to the first noumenon to collect fluid sample.Releasable connecting device packet The first interlock on one be arranged in the first noumenon and sample collection ontology is included, and is arranged in elongated first The second interlock on another in body and sample collection ontology.First interlock is provided with axis, which defines substantially On transverse to the first noumenon longitudinal axis rotation axis.Second interlock include the first hole or recess portion, first hole or Recess configuration is at receipts axis is received when the first and second interlocks connect, for making sample collection ontology relative to first Body rotates between the first position and the second position around rotation axis, in first position, the longitudinal axis of sample collection ontology It is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the first noumenon, in the second position, the longitudinal axis of sample collection ontology surrounds rotation axis far from institute State first position rotation preset distance.First and second interlocks be also respectively provided with corresponding first snap lock means and Second snap lock means, first snap lock means and the second snap lock means are configured at first position, can The engagement of release ground prevents the first interlock and the when snap lock means (snap-locking means) engagement each other, to work as Relative rotation between two interlocks.First and second interlocks are configured so that in the second position, the first interlocking Device and the second interlock can removed from the first hole or recess portion in scheduled off-direction by axis and be detached from.And And first interlock and the second interlock be configured so that in the first position, axis be limited in first hole or In recess portion.
Axis and corresponding hole or recess portion provide the specific relative rotary motion between sample collection ontology and the first noumenon. Snap lock means by sample collection ontology for being maintained at first position during use so that by holding the first noumenon Outer end portion can control the movement of sample collection ontology and operate sample collection ontology and be sampled, just as above-mentioned Use described in EP1903946B1.The axis of first attached device limits the available freedom of sample collection ontology movement Degree so that it is only capable of the rotary motion clearly defined according to and is moved from its first position.Therefore, snap lock means are main It needs processing to be applied to the momentum of sample collection ontology, and relative translation motion need not be handled.Axis and snap lock means This combination provides lose the relatively low-risk of the control to sample collection ontology in sampling.The design can even use Weaker snap lock mechanism with the lasting control to the sample collection ontology in vagina.Using weaker mechanism provide compared with The use of few material, and influenced to provide less environment.After sampling, sample collection ontology is taken out simultaneously from vagina It is inserted into small container to protect sample.After the insertion, apply momentum to rotate to sample collection ontology and the first noumenon The second position.In the second position, the first noumenon is simply removed from sample collection ontology so that sample collection ontology due to The gravity that acts on sample collection ontology and stay in a reservoir.Then the first noumenon is abandoned, and is for example sealed by lid Container, to prepare the analysis for future.
Since the first interlock and the second interlock are in the second position (rather than in described first position) It is departing, firm holding is provided in first position, and provide in the second position and be readily detached from.Sample collection sheet Body can easily be detached with the handle with minimum power, and need not manually hold sample collection ontology with by its from The first noumenon pulls down.In addition, being well controlled in sampling period sample collection ontology.
In one embodiment, axis is arranged at the first proximal part of the first interlock.In addition, corresponding buckle First in locking device is arranged at the first distal portions of the first interlock.
The proximal part of corresponding interlock is such part, that is, the part is corresponding closest to being provided on it Interlock sample collection ontology or the first noumenon.By providing axis at the proximal part of the first attached device, Axis and on it setting axis sample collection ontology or the first noumenon between almost without distance, and therefore axis by rigidly attached It connects and immovable too many.This provides the more preferable of relative rotation/movement between the first noumenon and sample collection ontology Control.Similarly, the distal side positioning of the first snap lock means provides snap lock means and attached with the first interlock The distance of bigger between the sample collection ontology or the first noumenon that connect, and therefore can increase the soft of snap lock means Property.Increased flexibility allows snap lock mechanism being designed to that the main source of bias force is first interlock itself, to Simple and strong design is provided.
In order to further specify that the position of proximal part and distal portions, the first proximal part of the first interlock are neighbouring It is provided with the first noumenon or sample collection ontology of the first interlock on it.Similarly, the first distal portions are closer than first End part is further from the sample collection ontology or the first noumenon for being provided with the first interlock on it.
In embodiments, the first hole or recess portion laterally open so that when being detached from, axis can laterally be moved from the second position Go out the first hole or recess portion.
Keep the first hole or recess portion laterally open so that axis lateral/radial remove the first hole or recess portion, rather than must It must be moved along the longitudinal axis of axis.
In embodiments, the first interlock includes fork-shaped ontology, which includes defining intermediate space together Opposite handle, the intermediate space along the first noumenon longitudinal axis extend.Axis prolongs from a handle across the intermediate space Reach another handle.Second interlock includes the elongate bars in the intermediate space being adapted to fit between handle.In addition, second First hole of interlock or recess portion are laterally open for receiving axis.
Keep the first hole or recess portion laterally open so that axis lateral/radial remove the first hole or recess portion, rather than must It must be moved along the longitudinal axis of axis.This allows axis to be fixed on both ends again, without interfering the first interlock and the second interlocking dress The disengaging set.Fixing axle provides the strong fixation of axis at both ends, so as to use with the weaker of less material Axis.It is advantageous using less material, because being equipment to be intended for single use, and therefore cost and environment influence from sampling equipment It is more important than long durability.
In one embodiment, the first hole or recess portion are laterally opened on the direction of the length along the second interlock It puts.
This construction of first hole or recess portion makes once sample collection ontology is vertically oriented in a reservoir and the first structure Part is rotated to take sample collection ontology to the second position, then sample collection ontology is easily separated from.Since axis can be removed vertically First hole or recess portion, then sample collection ontology therefore dropped down onto in container by free gravity.
In embodiments, axis is largely cylindrical, has at least one recess of the length along axis.This Outside, the first hole or recess portion have the cross-sectional shape of the circular middle portion with the full diameter corresponding to axis.The middle part Divide and is laterally outwardly opened in the form of the channel of the minimum widith with the diameter less than axis.In addition, the recess of axis defines Projected outline (projected profile) of the axis in the plane across the longitudinal axis of axis, wherein the projected outline is small In channel so that axis moves through the channel from the second position.
By providing such recess for axis, axis is stopped moving across except when axis is oriented at the second position Path, in the second position axis expose its be less than channel projected outline.This allows the first interlock and the second interlocking dress Engagement is set always to allow relative rotation, and prevents relative translation when being not at the second position simultaneously, to limit axis System is in the first hole or recess portion.
In one embodiment, channel broadens outward far from circular middle portion.This construction that broadens in channel provides Surface for being directed to axis in assembled shaft in channel.So that manually and automatically assembly is easier and more may be used Prediction.
