Question?
How is the test done?
answer>
(Sample collection) Samples are collected from doctors, nurses, and clinical pathologists (selected clinics, etc.).The essential sample is a sample of the upper respiratory tract, and a sample of the lower respiratory tract is taken from a patient with sputum. When collecting samples, there may be discomfort or pain. 
※ Nurses and clinical pathologists under the guidance of doctors
①(Upper sample) Mixing of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal smears (1 tube)-(Nasopharyngeal smear) Insert a cotton swab deep into the nostril to collect secretions-(Oropharyngeal smear) Scrape the secretion from the inner wall of the throat with a cotton swab
② (Sample below) Collect cough by deep coughing so that saliva is not included-If there is no sputum, it is prohibited to induce sputum, as there is a possibility of aerosol if spitting forcibly
(Gene testing) Screening clinics that can be tested are tested directly, and if not, refer to the inspection agency.

 

Question?
How long does the genetic test take?
answer>
The test takes about 6 hours, but considering the sample transfer and waiting time, the results can be checked within 1 to 2 days after the test.

 

Question?
What is the inspection fee?
answer>
If you report as a doctor patient or a bequest box for investigation, you will not be charged for the cost of inspection. However, other medical expenses such as general consultation and X-ray examination are the responsibility of the person.

 

Question?
Without phlegm, is it correct to collect only the upper respiratory tract sample without inducing it?
answer>
That's right. The essential sample is a sample of the upper respiratory tract, and in patients with phlegm, one sample of the lower respiratory tract and one sample of the upper respiratory tract are sent. However, if there is no sputum, collection is never induced.

 

Question?
Is it necessary to have a sound pressure chamber when you collect sputum yourself?
answer>
It is not necessary to have a negative pressure chamber, but since there is a possibility of aerosol generation, it should be collected in an independent space with no internal circulation and good ventilation.

 

Question?
What is standardism when collecting samples?
answer>
Standardism is the most basic guideline for all treatments, techniques, and nursing of patients within a medical institution. It is a common precaution to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases.When dealing with the patient's blood, body fluids, secretions, feces, damaged skin and mucous membranes, the patient should be treated according to standard cautions. There is air caution.
