Design and application of a pharyngeal swab samples collection device (一种咽拭子采集装置的设计及应用)

Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical application effect of a pharyngeal swab samples collection device in nucleic acid testing. Methods A total of 120 hospital staff members who conducted nucleic acid testing were randomly divided into the control group and study group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group adopted regular method of pharyngeal swab samples collection, while the study group used the new type device for pharyngeal swab samples collection. The time cost in sample collection was recorded. The degree of comfort and satisfaction in objects of sample collection were measured. Results The time spent in sample collection was (22. 84±2. 57)s in the study group, which was shorter than that in the control group (P＜0. 05). The degree of comfort and satisfaction in objects of sample collection were higher than in the study group than those in the control group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion The new type of pharyngeal swab samples collection device is effective to improve the efficiency of sampling in nucleic acid testing.
