Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for obtaining animal horns for analysis purposes and to an analysis device equipped therewith according to the preambles of claims 1 and 9.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for obtaining animal urine, in particular cat urine, for analysis purposes and to provide an animal keeper with an analysis device in order to save the way to a doctor in the case of an uncritical result of a test, or simply to provide ge - to be able to bring the animal urine obtained to a doctor for test purposes.
- the device for obtaining pet urine, in particular cat urine for analysis purposes essentially consists of a container with a liquid-tight tub and of a granulate filled into the tub, which, in contrast to known animal litter, does not absorb the urine but is permeable to it, so that it is liquid-permeable a puddle of animal urine can settle on the bottom of the container in the tub.
- a sufficiently high layer thickness of the granulate prevents an animal from becoming aware of this condition.
- the animal urine collected can then be examined by the animal owner himself or after the animal urine has been transported to a doctor.
- the container consists of a disposable cardboard box which is open at the top and is exchanged for a conventional litter box until the desired urine test can be carried out.
- a container permanently as a cat litter box or to dispose of it each time the cat litter is changed and only to replace the conventional cat litter with the appropriate granules if urine analysis is desired.
- the container can have a pouring opening for the collected animal urine above a liquid level that is to be expected as high as possible, or it can be designed so that a spout for the collected animal urine can be produced by correspondingly folding the carton in such a way that the filled-in granulate is reliably contained in the container during pouring Container remains.
- the granules are advantageously reaction-neutral with the animal urine, so that the granules have no negative effects on the test result.
- the granulate preferably consists of plastic beads which have a closed surface and immediately allow the animal urine released into the granulate to flow through to the bottom of the tub without sucking up some of it.
- the granules are preferably germ-free or can be made germ-free using a disinfectant, so that an influence on the test result can be excluded. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the subject of
- the granulate and / or the container is provided with an irritant or fragrance which stimulates an animal to release animal urine or to mark its territory, which is usually done by dispensing urine.
- the device is part of an analysis device for examining animal urine, which additionally consists of urine test strips which can be wetted with animal urine collected in the tub, so that the health status and / or an existing pregnancy of an animal is relatively quick Information can be obtained.
- urine test strips can be used, for example, to determine leukocytes, nitrite, pH value, protein, glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, bilirubin and blood in the urine of an animal.
- test comparison strip is attached to the urine test strip, which strip strip can be designed as a separate strip or can be arranged on a container for test strips.
- the analysis device is associated with a disinfectant with which the granules and / or the container can be prepared or neutralized for analysis, so that falsified values can be excluded in the urine test.
- a disinfectant can consist, for example, of a disinfectant, which is provided in spray form, which is then sprayed into the container after the granulate has been introduced, whereupon the device is ready for use after the disinfectant has evaporated.
- An advantageously equipped analysis device furthermore has a pipette with which animal urine collected in the tub of the container can be removed therefrom, whereupon the contents of the pipette can either be dripped onto a urine test strip or the contents can be placed in a sample glass, which is then sealed and combined Veterinarian can be transported if you distrust your own analysis result or want to have your own result confirmed by a competent person.
- This analysis device therefore makes it possible in a simple and inexpensive manner that an animal owner can quickly, easily and inexpensively obtain information about the health status of his animal without having to transport the animal to a doctor.
- Fig. 1 shows a box with filled granules
- the device for obtaining animal urine for analysis purposes essentially consists of a container 1 which has a liquid-tight tub and a granulate 2 which is filled into the tub and which is permeable to liquid, so that it is on the bottom of the tank Container 1 of the animal urine 9 released from an animal.
- the granulate 2 consists of small solid plastic beads 7 with a closed surface so that they cannot absorb animal urine 9.
- a closable pouring opening 4 is arranged in the container 1 above the highest possible liquid level 3, so that a urine sample can be taken without the granules 2 having to be removed from the container 1.
- the container 1 can be designed to be deformable, specifically in such a way that a spout 5 for collected animal urine 9 can be produced by deforming the container 1, for example by compressing the opposing longitudinal sides 6, as a result of which in one of the end faces 8 of the Container 1 of the spout 5 could be generated.
