Covid Mouth Swab Test

Three key points for oral swab collection!

The oral swab is an all-in-one system that can collect, stabilize, transport and purify DNA from saliva in advance, providing a painless and risk-free new way to collect microbial DNA for disease control and prevention.

Accidentally, it is easy to cause people to be infected with the new coronavirus, and the surface detection is not sensitive, and the operation is easy to lead to standardized operation.

Awareness Check Tool:

Testing equipment for testing equipment, including testing tools for testing equipment, testing equipment for testing equipment, testing equipment for testing equipment, including safety testing equipment.

Virus Sampling Tube & Nasopharyngeal Swab (Inactivated)

Oropharyngeal sampling points:

1. Sufficient light: Good lighting should be provided for both indoor and outdoor light sources. If necessary, flashlight lighting should also be provided.

2. Full exposure: The three anatomical locations for oropharyngeal swab collection must be completely exposed, and a spatula should be used when exposing bilateral tonsils.

3. Accurate location: The oropharyngeal swab should not touch other parts, such as the tongue, chin, etc., except for the three designated locations, so as not to be stained with saliva and affect the quality of specimen collection.

Covid Mouth Swab Test Pre-harvest preparation

Routine screening:

Work clothes, medical protective face shield, work cap, gloves, isolation gown, goggles (anti-fog) or face shield.

Influenza or suspected cases:

Wear work clothes, medical protective masks, work caps, gloves, isolation gowns or protective clothing, goggles (anti-fog) or protective face shields, and add shoe covers or boot covers if necessary.

Order of protective clothing:

Work caps that do not need to be worn. → Protective masks (Wearable head-mounted type and a tightness test should be performed after wearing them.)→ No shoes protective clothing (Boot covers should be added instead of foot protective clothing.) → Surgical gloves. → Protective screen or goggles.

Employee Registration Protection:

Tooling or isolation gown. → Medical-surgical mask or medical protective face shield. → Disposable work cap.

Protective clothing should be replaced every 4 hours and should be replaced in time if there is moisture or pollution.

Supplies preparation: Throat swab sampling sleeve, tongue depressor, inspection sheet and barcode, transport bag or refrigerator, 75% alcohol, pen.

Nucleic acid collection

1. We asked the examinee to tilt his head slightly, open his mouth.

And lift the upper jaw vertically to expose the posterior pharyngeal wall.

2. Use the front end of a sterile long cotton swab to quickly rub up and down 3-5 times on the bilateral pharyngeal tonsils.

And 3-5 times on the upper and lower sides of the posterior pharyngeal wall.

3. After scraping, open the sampling tube. Insert the front end of the sample vertically into the sampling tube. Insert the sampling tube. Break the sampling tube to expose the outer part of the tube. And tighten the cap.

Place the sampling tube in a biosafety sealed bag, mark the name and other information on the sampling tube, and complete the sampling.

Notice:

1. When sampling with the Covid Mouth Swab Test, it is best not to call “ah”, because once the sampled person is a positive patient, he will shout “ah”, exhale the virus in large quantities, and form aerosols in the sampling area.

When sampling, we advise patients to open their mouths and not yell or take deep breaths.

2. During the sampling process, one person collects and one person disinfects.

When the sampler holds the cotton swab, try to take it as far as possible.

3. A large number of samplers collect oropharyngeal swabs face-to-face with the sampled person.

Therefore, during the sampling process, the breath exhaled by the patient can easily and directly pose a great threat to the medical staff.

To reduce the risk of the sampler, we recommend that healthcare workers sample at a 45-60 degree angle to reduce risk.

End of Swab Test sampling

1. Spray and disinfect the generated medical waste layer by layer, and tie the gooseneck double medicine bag tightly to ensure that the seal is tight, has no damage, and has no leakage. Do not squeeze the contents of the medical waste bag. Annotation generates point information.

2. The order of unprotected items: hand hygiene → take off the protective face shield or goggles → hand hygiene → take off the protective clothing (take off the boot cover together) → hand hygiene, take off gloves, hand hygiene → take off the protective mask and Disposable work cap → hand hygiene.
