The manipulation unit 30 may be configured to be connected to the connector 24 of the body unit 20 so that a relative distance to the body unit 20 is adjusted. The body portion 20 has a channel formed at the center thereof, and is configured to form a channel in a straight line with the inner channel 23 of the body portion 20 and the channel of the needle 10. It may be configured to include a plurality of bones to facilitate rotation by gripping the outer side of the manipulation unit 30. Meanwhile, the operation part 30 may be provided with a support part 31 protruding toward the body part 20. The support part 31 may be configured in a cylindrical shape with a channel formed therein. The shape of the end of the support part 31 may be an O shape, and is configured to uniformly press the O-ring to be described later to the end. In addition, although not shown, the operation unit 30 may include a fixing unit (not shown) so that the external endoscope 2 and the operation unit 30 may be fixed.

The connector 24 is configured such that the distance between the body part 20 and the operation part 30 can be relatively adjusted, and each may include a thread so that the distance can be adjusted by rotation. A part of the connector 24 is provided on the body part 20, and the rest of the connector 24 may be provided on the operation part 30 to be interconnected.

The O-ring is provided between the body part 20 and the support part 31 of the operation part 30. The O-ring is arranged in a linear position leading to the nigle, the inner flow path 23, and the channel of the support 31. The O-ring is selected with an appropriate inner diameter so that the endoscope 2 can pass through the central portion. The inner diameter of the O-ring may match the inner diameter of the adjacent channel. The O-ring is pressed according to the adjustment of the distance between the body part 20 and the operation part 30, and when the pressure is applied, it may be deformed and the space may be closed at the center. That is, as the operation part 30 rotates, the support part 31 is gradually pressed, and the shape of the O-ring changes according to the pressure, and the central part is closed.

The reagent receiving unit 40 may contain various reagents so that a component test can be performed when a bodily fluid is accommodated therein, and may be provided in a sealed state. In an initial state, the reagent receiving portion 40 is provided with a vacuum ecology inside, a stopper is provided on one side, and a part of the stopper may be made of an elastic material such as rubber. Therefore, when fastened to the connection needle 21 of the body part 20, the tip of the connection needle 21 passes through the stopper and is sealed with the outside, and the inner flow path 23 and the reagent receiving part 40 of the body part 20 ) Of the inner receiving space may be configured to be in fluid communication. At this time, the reagent may be configured to analyze components of various liquids that can be extracted from the body, such as blood or joint fluid. In the case of joint fluid, when inflammation occurs, a reagent that can be visually recognized in response to a component that increases when inflammation occurs may be selected. In addition, in the case of blood, a reagent that can confirm the inflammatory reaction can be selected. Since these reagents can be applied in various ways, further detailed description will be omitted.

3 is a view showing a cross-section of the body portion 20. It is shown that the operation unit 30 is connected to the body unit 20, and in the connected state, the user is configured to insert the endoscope 2 through a channel formed on the operation unit 30 side.

On the other hand, the connection needle 21 is shown to be open when the reagent receiving portion 40 is not fastened, but when not in use, a separate sealing member may be provided to seal the connection needle 21. have.

4 is a view showing a state in which the endoscope 2 is inserted, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the body part 20 when the endoscope 2 is inserted. As shown, when the endoscope 2 is inserted through the operation unit 30, the endoscope 2 may be inserted through the channel of the operation unit 30, the inner channel 23, and the channel of the needle 10. The endoscope 2 used at this time may be a small endoscope 2 formed with a thickness of less than 2mm. On the other hand, the inner diameter of the channel of the operation unit 30, the inner flow path 23 of the body unit 20, and the channel of the needle 10 may be 2 mm, and thus can be smoothly inserted. When the thickness of the needle 10 is less than 3mm, it is possible to safely guide the endoscope 2 into a body cavity that needs to secure a field of view while minimizing tissue damage.

6 is a state diagram of the body fluid diagnosis kit 1 in use. As shown, when diagnosis of bodily fluid is required, the endoscope 2 is removed from the bodily fluid vibration kit while the needle 10 is fixed at the current position, and then the operation unit 30 is operated as shown in Fig. 6(a). Press (22) to close the channel. Accordingly, the channel of the operation unit 30 into which the endoscope 2 was inserted is closed, so that the inner flow path is sealed.

Thereafter, when the reagent receiving part 40 is fastened to the connection needle 21 as shown in FIG. 6(b), the nib pierces the stopper and communicates with the reagent receiving space. At this time, the reagent receiving space is formed in a vacuum while being manufactured, and at the same time, the body fluid is accommodated in the reagent receiving part 40 through the channel of the needle 10 and the inner flow path 23 of the body part 20.

Thereafter, the reagent receiving part 40 is separated from the body part 20 and the user performs a diagnosis by examining the reaction of the bodily fluid.

On the other hand, the bodily fluid diagnostic kit 1 that can be inserted into the endoscope 2 according to the present invention is not shown, but can be modified and applied in various forms. Specifically, the connection needle 21 may be configured integrally with the body part 20. In this case, it is possible to extract body fluid without performing a separate flow path closing while removing the endoscope 2. Therefore, in this case, since a separate operation for closing is not required, the configuration of the operation unit 30 may be omitted.

The endoscope (2) insertable body fluid diagnostic kit (1) described above minimizes tissue damage through a single invasive process, minimizes patient pain, and is inserted into the needle (10). Diagnosis is possible by using visual information acquired in the body cavity by using. In particular, when a chemical diagnosis of bodily fluid is required, the bodily fluid can be immediately extracted and diagnosed through the reagent receiving unit 40, thereby enabling a simple and rapid diagnosis.
