In the near future

Nucleic acid detection sampling cotton swab contains

Rumors of fluorescent agents, ethylene oxide and other carcinogens

Attract attention

There are also public reflections

The disgusting feeling after nucleic acid is stronger

Suspected of some irritating substances

Will cause damage to the body

Is this really the case?

At the press conference of the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism held on June 9, Li Jinming, deputy director of the Clinical Inspection Center of the National Health and Health Commission, introduced that the sampling swab looks like a cotton swab, but it is actually not a cotton swab. Nylon fiber is similar to the toothbrushes in our daily life.

"In the process of doing our sample swabs, it is a million tiny fibrous fiber vertically and uniformly covered onto the end of the handle. It is like a toothbrush brushing teeth when the sample is sampled. Put the sample swabs in the sampling tube. Because it uses nylon and polyester, it is easy to get rid of the saving liquid, and the laboratory will be conducted by the laboratory. "Li Jinming explained.

Regarding the problem of disgusting after some public feelings, or irritating, Li Jinming said that different people responded differently. Some people were sensitive to pharynx. After the sampling, some people felt uncomfortable. Some. "During the sampling process, when the post -pharyngeal wall is scraped. When scraping, some people are stimulated and have a foreign body sensation, which will cause itching or vomiting. The differences between these individuals are relatively large."

Li Jinming added at the same time that there is another situation. When sampling, it is usually opened, and some people have the soft palate to close the roots of the tongue. If the sample people want to ensure the sample quality, they will find it in and find the pharynx. The rear wall and tonsils are stimulated when they are explored. Some people have a strong stimulus response, and there are vomiting and cough, but once the sampling is completed, this discomfort can easily be relieved.

As for rumors, the sample cotton swab contains harmful substances, which will cause harm to the body. Li Jinming clearly states that the sampling swab is a medical device. Its production environment and requirements are very strict. Quality supervision also has relevant standards, and sampling has no harm to our individual. "The most basic product of our product is non -toxic and harmless, and there will be no harmful substances in the production process of the sampling swab."

At the press conference, He Qinghua, a first -level inspector of the National Health and Health Commission's CDC, also reminded the public that nucleic acid testing is the most scientific and effective means of early discovery of the epidemic. The obligation to prevent and control and jointly promote a good social atmosphere of group prevention and control.

Li Ang, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Committee of Health and Health, also reminded the public at the press conference that when participating in nucleic acid testing, it is necessary to standardize the sampling action in accordance with the requirements of the on -site requirements to ensure the sampling effect.
