Description

From demarcating the breath analytical equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to the expiration gas detection field.
Background technology
Expiration nitric oxide is analyzed for the detection of the respiratory diseases such as asthma as the mark of airway inflammation and has been obtained the medical profession abundant affirmation.Europe has been formulated expiration nitric oxide at 1997 and 1999 respectively with the U.S. and has been detected proposed standard, and united in 2005 and formulate and announced this standard (" ATS/ERS Recommendations for Standardized Procedures for the Online and Offline Measurement of Exhaled Low Respiratory Nitric Oxide and Nasal Nitric Oxide; 2005 ", ATS is the abbreviation of U.S. throat association, ERC is that European pneumatology can be abridged, hereinafter to be referred as " standard ").Be somebody's turn to do " standard " and be used for instructing diagnosis and the therapeutic evaluation that how to detect and testing result is used for the respiratory diseases such as asthma.
" standard " detects exhaling and proposed high sensitivity and high selectivity requirement, for example, must be lower than 5ppb to precision and lower limit that nitrogen monoxide detects, detection must be carried out in the air-flow of controlling and pressure limit, and the result of detection must not be subject to the interference of temperature, humidity and other gas.What usually can satisfy this requirement is chemiluminescent analyzer by this standard development.This instrument belongs to laboratory analytical instrument, and is not only valuable, and needs to demarcate frequently and special maintenance, so clinical practice and popularization are extremely restricted.For this reason, people attempt to utilize the small portable expiration detector of gas sensor exploitation always, even can as the diabetes blood-sugar detecting instrument, be used for the family health care nursing.
Publication number is that the Chinese patent (corresponding Application No. US20040082872) of CN16814635 has been announced a kind of portable expiration nitric oxide detector.This invention mainly utilizes standard recommendation, also is that constant temperature, constant voltage, constant current and constant humidity equal controller that chemiluminescent analyzer adopts avoid exhaling temperature, pressure, air-flow and the humidity of sample and environment to the interference of nitric oxide sensor.Yet the interference of other gas and elimination or the method avoided in this invention and undeclared expiration.These control device that are generally used in laboratory analytical instrument make the detector structure very complicated in addition, and can only realize effectively controlling under the indoor temperature of stipulating and damp condition.
Publication number is that 7352465 United States Patent (USP) has disclosed a kind of detector that utilizes the Photobiology sensor to detect expiration nitric oxide.The same with electrochemical sensor, in the sensing range lower than ppm, this sensor to humidity with exhale in some gases, very responsive such as carbon dioxide etc.This patent adopts the porous mediums such as 3A molecular sieve and aluminium oxide to remove respectively hydrone and carbon dioxide.Yet, also there is other interference gas in exhaling, even it is possible to remove one by one all interference gas, but also very complicated and expensive.
Another one extremely important but above-mentioned and other the invention still NM problem be the scaling method of sensor and detection.Be subject to the impact of outside (temperature, humidity, interference gas etc.) and inner (inactivation of detection part or aging) condition, the performance of all the sensors and detector or analyser all can decay, and is usually expressed as the drift of zero point and signal.Therefore need in using demarcating frequently at zero point and sensitivity, and these are demarcated and usually need external accessory and specialty to operate.Although can take the method for frequent more emat sensor and detection part to avoid demarcating, the cost of for this reason paying may be higher than demarcating.
Summary of the invention
The present invention will disclose a kind of can directly the measurement breath and need not the method and apparatus that Standard Gases is demarcated sensor, and these apparatus and method can improve selectivity, accuracy and the stability of test simultaneously.
This equipment comprises expiration control module, sampling module, detection module and control module, be respectively used to discharging and sampling that the tester is exhaled, to described expiration control module, sampling module and detection module is controlled and carry out collection, processing, storage and the communication of information; Described sampling module comprises at least two air chambers, be used for temporarily depositing the part of breath, wherein the gas at least one air chamber is used for directly measuring, gas at least one air chamber is measured after electrolysis causes its concentration quantitative to change again, and two air chambers are connected with detection module by three-way solenoid valve; Described detection module is comprised of valve, sensor, air pump and pipeline, passes into respectively sensor for the gas with at least two air chambers and measures.
Two air chambers in the said equipment can be connected in series by two position three-way valve, at this moment the public termination detection module of three-way solenoid valve.
Two air chambers in the said equipment also can be connected in parallel, and this moment, described two air chamber air inlet and outlet ends were connected with detection module with the expiration control module by after the two position two-way valve parallel connection respectively.
