Description

Sample port for automatic separation of secondary urine

The present invention provides automatic separation of secondary urine containing secondary urine after discarding primary urine for the reason that a large number of epithelial cells and bacteria are included in an examination for the purpose of urinalysis in medical institutions such as hospitals and health examination institutions. It relates to the sample port for use.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a secondary urine that can be easily provided with the secondary urine required by medical staff by automatically collecting primary urine and secondary urine when receiving all urine in order to improve the inconvenience of collecting urine. It relates to a sample port for automatic separation.

When a patient visits a hospital for a health check-up, he or she undergoes a set of basic tests such as X-rays, electrocardiograms, and urine to diagnose diseases and establish a treatment plan.

It does not inflict pain on the patient, and it is simple and easy to collect and perform various tests. As a clinical pathology test, urinalysis, which accounts for about 30% of the total test volume in most hospitals, is It is a diagnostic method to detect a lesion.

Metabolites of the whole body are excreted in urine, including the kidneys that produce urine, so it is widely used for diagnosing systemic diseases other than the urinary system.

In general, there are several types of urine tests performed in hospitals. Among them, the most basic test is the dipstick test, which can simultaneously test a total of 10 clinical indicators (sugar, protein, occult blood, acidity, etc.) test), and the presence or absence of clinical abnormalities is judged by visual judgment or mechanical judgment through an automatic analysis device.

To check the infection urine, the number of white blood cells per field is counted through microscopic observation, or even when occult blood is found on the stick, the number of red blood cells per field is counted. .

At this time, to avoid the distribution of epithelial cells and bacteria among the components in the urine that degrade the quality of microscopic observation, discard the primary urine (about 1/3 of urine; usually about 2 cc for adults) and discard the secondary urine (minimum 4 cc or more), so the test subject is instructed to discard the primary urine and then have the urine collected in a paper cup with the amount of urine drawn on it.

However, if the subject to be tested has symptoms of urinary incontinence, is young (infant), or is the elderly, it is very inconvenient to throw away the primary urine and hold the urine in the middle to receive the secondary urine. Paralyzed and unconscious patients cannot be tested.

Also, urine test paper cups are guided around the genitals (vulva), so urine may be on your hands or spilled.

In addition, although it is taught that the amount of primary urine to be discarded is 1/3 of the total urine, the amount is often based on the subjective judgment of the examiner. There is a limitation in that the reliability of urinalysis is lowered because it is often used for urinalysis without sufficiently removing bacteria and bacteria.

In addition, there is a risk of contamination and mixing with other samples by flowing or splashing around when the test worker transfers urine from the urine test paper cup to the Urine Cup or Urine Tube by hand.

Therefore, there is a need for a method to solve these problems.

In order to solve the above problems, a urine test container has been proposed to the Korean Intellectual Property Office as registered patent No. 10-1732843 (hereinafter referred to as prior invention) and has been published.

According to this prior invention, in the container for collecting the urine of a test subject, the container for collecting the urine; and a secondary blocking film that is located inside the container and partitions the interior of the container, thereby separating a predetermined amount of primary urine collected first among the urine and secondary urine different from the primary urine; Only the primary urine is used for the urine test of the test subject, the secondary urine is separated by external pressure or force by at least one of the user and the primary urine, and is provided in a folded state on the upper end of the secondary blocking membrane. The method further includes a new space by the movement of the collecting unit, and when the position of the secondary blocking membrane is moved downward by external pressure or force of at least one of the user and the primary urine, the secondary blocking membrane moves according to the movement of the secondary blocking membrane. The collection unit moves to open a new space, and the expanded collection unit moves to collect the secondary urine separately from the primary urine in the new space.

The prior invention can provide the user with a container that can easily separate the primary urine, which contains a large number of epithelial cells, which reduces the quality of the test, while receiving the entire urine in a urinalysis at the hospital, and contamination around the urine test paper cup It has the effect of preventing infection, so it is easy to control the infection of the inspector.

However, in the prior invention, in the process of receiving the entire urine, separating the unnecessary primary urine amount into an accurate amount and receiving the secondary urine in a high purity state are not automatically performed, so it is not easy to clean and easy from the standpoint of the urine collector. There is a problem, and there are various problems such as the quality of the urine provided to the clinical examiner is lowered because the amount of primary urine cannot be accurately separated, and the reliability of the test result is inaccurate.

The present invention is provided with a container 100 having an internal space 110 in which the secondary urine is continuously collected while being blocked when a certain amount of primary urine among the urine that is started to be urinated from the patient is collected.

In the inner space 110 of the container 100, the inducing member 200 and the collecting member 300 are installed in such a way that the incoming urine is collected while being divided into primary urine and secondary urine.

In the container 100 , the rim of the opening 120 of the internal space 110 through which the patient's urine flows is inclined from the primary urine entry position to the secondary urine entry position, and the internal space of the container 100 . 110 is formed into a first space 140 and a second space 150 by the support 130 vertically installed on the floor of the space.

When the opening 120 is inclined from the primary urine direction to the secondary urine direction, urine is usually discharged with urination pressure, so in the case of primary urine, the urination angle is higher than the expected direction to prevent urination out of the container 100 is for the sake of

The container 100 is provided with an inducing member 200 that is seesaw driven to induce secondary urine collection by increasing the load of the primary urine to be collected, and is detachably attached to the inner space 110 and the induction member Secondary urine is collected due to displacement of the inlet 120 of the inner space 110 by 200 and the collection member 300 is configured to display information on the urine.

The induction member 200 is a separation plate ( 210) and a hopper 230 formed at one end of the separating plate 210 and having a storage chamber 232 for collecting a predetermined amount of primary urine in the first space 140 of the inner space 110 and , it protrudes between the separation plate 210 and the hopper 230 and consists of a support shaft 240 that is seesaw driven in the support 130 of the inner space 110 .

The collection member 300 includes a separation chamber 310 mounted in the second space 150 of the inner space 110 to collect secondary urine in a predetermined amount in the urine collection hole 313, and the separation chamber ( 310) extending to the secondary urine entry position of the container 100 and displaying an item test that chemically reacts with the components of the secondary urine collected, and at the upper end of the guide band 330, the The handle 350 for inducing attachment and detachment into the inner space 110 is integrally formed.

Support protrusions 240 installed on the support 130 are formed on both sides of the guide member 200, and the support protrusions 240 are located at the center of gravity of the guide member 200 at the hopper 230 side. to be formed at a location close to

In the induction member 200 , a support weight 220 is installed as one end of the separation plate 210 , so that the separation plate 210 is initially mounted on the support 130 of the inner space 110 by the weight of the support weight 220 . ), the secondary urine inlet is blocked and the primary urine inlet is opened, so that the load of primary urine collected in the hopper 230 through the primary urine inlet is gradually increased, so that the separation plate 210 drives the seesaw Thus, the secondary urine inlet is opened together with the primary urine inlet closure.

The hopper 230 is further provided with a suction body 235 for absorbing the incoming primary urine.

It is preferable that the suction body 235 has a structure for keeping moisture in a tissue that expands when moisture is introduced while maintaining a compressed state before absorbing moisture.

The collection member 300 is further provided with a stick test strip 340 printed with an item test for chemical reaction with information on secondary urine on the guide 330 extending from one side of the separation chamber 310 . .

The stick test strip 340 may be formed by printing each reactive material on the components contained in urine, and a commercially available stick test strip may be used.

3 is a state in which primary urine is received from a urine specimen with the container of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a state of receiving secondary urine from a urine specimen with the container of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a secondary urine sample from the container of the present invention It is a cross-sectional state showing the structure of a separation chamber filled with urine.

When a urine test is requested, the test subject opens the lid 170 of the container 100 and excretes urine to be tested toward the space of the inner container 110 while the inner space 110 of the container 100 is opened. do.

The primary urine that has started to be excreted is collected along the wall surface of the separation plate 210 and the first space 140 of the induction member 200 as it enters the inner space 110 through the opening 120 of the container 100 and is guided. It is collected in the hopper 230 of the member 200 .

When the primary urine is collected in the hopper 230 , it is in a state of being collected in the material tissue of the absorber 235 in a compressed state, and there is no sloshing, so that it does not overflow in the hopper 230 .

At this time, when the collected weight is gradually increased and reaches a predetermined amount, the center of gravity is moved in the induction member 200 by the weight.

As such, when the primary urine is collected in a predetermined amount, the load is gradually increased, so that the weight of the hopper 230 becomes heavier than the weight of the support weight 220 .

This causes the center of gravity of the induction member 200 to move with respect to the separator plate 210, and the support protrusion shaft 240 installed on the support 130 as a support axis causes the guide member 200 to see-saw drive, so that the separator plate 210 The state in which the hopper 230 in which the primary urine is collected by moving from the wall surface of the second space 150 of the inner space 110 to the wall surface of the first space 140 is concealed into the first space 140 As a result, the primary urine is no longer collected in the hopper 230 .

At this time, since a certain amount of urine is urinated, the secondary urine, which is optimal for testing, is discharged from the urine urinated thereafter, and the urination pressure is reduced.

In the urine collection process, as described above, when the induction member 200 performs seesaw driving by reaching the weight of the primary urine, the separation plate 210 of the induction member 200 is inclined to the wall surface of the first space 140 . The examiner's urine coming into contact and flowing into the first space 140 through the opening 120 of the container 100 follows the inclination of the separating plate 210 in the inner space 110 in the second space 150 . is introduced into the separation chamber 310 of the collection member 300 , and secondary urine is collected in the urine collection hole 313 of the separation chamber 310 .

Figure 6 shows the state of separating the secondary urine collected in the container of the present invention.

When the secondary urine is collected in the separation chamber 310 of the collecting member 300, the examiner's urination is also terminated.

The lid 170, which was opened before collecting urine, is placed on the opening 120 of the container 100 to move to the examination room, and the examiner information is input or confirmed in the examination room.

Open the lid 170, hold the handle 350 caught in the opening 120, lift the collecting member 300 in which the secondary urine is collected in the second space 150, take it out of the container 100, and provide it to the clinical pathology laboratory .

In the laboratory, after confirming the patient information once again, a urine test is performed with the secondary urine collected in the separation room 150 .

As such, in the present invention, in the process of urinating from the beginning to the end without the inconvenience of stopping for a while and collecting the urine in a prepared container as in the prior art, the primary urine is collected in the inner space 110 of the container 100. A certain amount will be collected.

After that, the first space 140 for collecting the primary urine is automatically closed and the second space 150 for collecting the next urine is opened at the same time, so that the urine collection of the examiners becomes very easy.

Conventionally, it was very unsanitary because urine collected in a container after collecting urine overflowed during the process of moving it to the examination room, buried on hands or clothes, or spilled on the floor.

However, in the present invention, primary urine and secondary urine are separated and collected in the container 100 itself, and in particular, the primary urine is absorbed by the absorber 235, so it does not oscillate during movement.

Secondary urine collected in the separation chamber 310 of the collecting member 300 moves to a form stored inside the second space 150 of the container 100, so there is a concern that the collected urine overflows, spills on the floor, or mixes The effect of collecting urine in a very hygienic and stable state without any contamination is realized.

And, in the separation chamber 310 of the collecting member 300 mounted to the second space 150 provided in the inner space 110 of the container 100, various components and chemical reactions contained in the collected secondary urine are The benefit of preventing disease through continuous observation is expected by allowing the examiner to determine in advance whether there is a lesion only with the urine response by the stick test strip 340 that can predict and determine the lesion.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but may be manufactured in a variety of different forms, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains It will be understood that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without changing the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
