Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a test body used for examining glucose, protein, occult blood, PH, etc. in urine for a health checkup, which can be tested in a flush toilet. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, glucose, proteins, occult blood, PH and the like contained in urine have been tested and used for discovery, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For example, rapid and easy measurement of glucose levels in urine is essential for early detection, diagnosis and management of diabetes. In addition, by measuring the amount of protein in urine quickly and easily,
It can play a major role in the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease. Similarly, knowing the presence or absence of occult blood in the urine is useful for early detection, diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, and knowing the accurate PH of the urine helps whether or not a protein is present in the urine, and It helps to identify the possibility of bacteriuria, which may cause cholecystitis, cystitis, etc.

As a method for easily and quickly testing the presence and amount of various components contained in urine, a test paper in which a support such as paper carries a reagent that develops a color by reacting with each component in urine After immersing the sample in the collected urine, the change in the color of the test paper is visually observed to determine the amount of each component. Also, a reagent that develops color by reacting with each component in the urine is printed on a paper cup for collecting urine, and when urine is collected on the paper cup, the printed portion develops color,
There is also a method of determining various components.

[0004]

When collecting urine in a paper cup or the like, there was a problem that the urine was handed by a woman. Also, when urine is directly applied to the test paper to determine each component,
After all, there was a problem of getting involved. Furthermore, since there is no test paper for each component sold for general household use, it was not possible to easily know each component in urine at home. In order to solve these problems, the present invention provides a paper that does not cause problems such as clogging and immediately flows even when flushed to a flush toilet,
A glucose test agent, a protein test agent, an occult blood test agent, a PH test agent, etc. are impregnated or applied to supply these test bodies for general household use.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A urine test body in which a glucose test agent, a protein test agent, an occult blood test agent, a PH test agent, etc. are carried on a support, and the test is performed after urination in a flush toilet. A urine test body, characterized in that the body is placed in a toilet bowl to react with test components in urine, and the test components in the urine are examined by coloring the test body, and then the test body is flushed as it is to a flush toilet. did. In addition, each of the above-described test agents was formed in a striped shape or an island shape in a continuous and parallel manner in the flow direction of the roll paper to obtain a roll-shaped urine test body.

That is, a known glucose test agent, protein test agent, occult blood test agent, PH test agent, etc., which have been conventionally used for urine tests, are applied to a support made of a pulp containing relatively few impurities, and dried and fixed. Then, this is made into a roll and used as an inspection body for each component. The shape of the inspection body may be a strip shape such as a strip shape or an origami shape after the winding, but it may be used as it is in a winding shape. Next, after using these test bodies to urinate in a flush toilet, put one of the test bodies in the toilet bowl in the case of a single sheet, and in the appropriate size in the case of winding. The presence and amount of the test component is determined by observing the state where the color of the test object has changed. After that, water is poured into the toilet bowl, and the inspection body is also poured, and the inspection is completed. As described above, since the component to be inspected can be measured easily and quickly, it is possible to manage own health at home.

[0007]

According to the present invention, glucose, protein, occult blood, PH, etc. contained in urine can be easily and quickly measured at home, and therefore, without going to the hospital, based on the guidance of a doctor,
You can manage your own health. For example, a person with diabetes can easily measure glucose in urine, which can be used in combination with diet therapy for self-management. In particular, people with diabetes or liver disease who are remote from the hospital,
Or, it can be used for health management of the elderly.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings based on the embodiments. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the urine test body of the present invention. Figure 2 shows one support
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a urine test body coated with a glucose test agent, a protein test agent, an occult blood test agent, and a PH test agent, and FIG.
It is a sectional view in the -X plane. FIG. 4 shows that one support has glucose test agents, protein test agents, occult blood test agents, and PH.
It is a top view at the time of providing a test medicine in the shape of a stripe. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the glucose test body produced according to Example 1, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of the test body capable of simultaneously measuring glucose, protein, occult blood, and PH produced according to Example 5. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the glucose test body prepared in Example 6, and FIG. 8 is a plan view of the test body prepared in Example 7 capable of simultaneously measuring glucose, protein, occult blood, and PH.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a support 11 made of a pulp containing relatively few impurities, and a known glucose test agent, protein test agent, occult blood test agent, PH test which have been conventionally used for urine tests. Test drug layer 12 by applying and drying drugs
Is formed into a roll and used as an inspection body for each component. The shape of the inspection body is strip-shaped,
It may be a small piece of paper such as an origami paper. Of course, apply the above test agent to a sheet of paper (support) and dry it,
After that, it can be cut into an appropriate size to be used as an inspection body.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a glucose test agent, a protein test agent, an occult blood test agent, a PH test agent, etc. are applied and dried on a single support, and the glucose test agent application area 13 and the protein are respectively applied. Test agent application area 14, occult blood test agent application area 1
5. It is also possible to form the PH test drug application area 16 to provide a test body capable of simultaneously testing four types of components. The test body is convenient because it can measure four components at the same time, but it may be economically disadvantageous because it contains components that are not always necessary for home health care. In addition, glucose test drug,
As shown in FIG. 2, the protein test agent, the occult blood test agent, and the PH test agent have respective test agent regions formed in stripes on the paper of the support by a gravure printing method or the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is preferable that each test drug region is provided with some space between the test drug regions so that the test drug regions do not mix with each other. There is no problem in the measurement of the components even if it crosses about. However, in actual measurement, it is economically advantageous to minimize the size of each test drug region as long as it can be observed with the naked eye. Therefore, as shown in FIG. It is more practical to apply it in a striped pattern and narrow the width of the stripe.

In the case of a test body which simultaneously measures the above-mentioned four kinds of components during use, after urinating in a flush toilet, the roll-shaped test body is cut into an appropriate size and placed in a toilet bowl to test urine. The body is impregnated, and glucose test agent, protein test agent, occult blood test agent, PH test agent and urine in each test area are reacted with each other to observe the color change of each test area. The degree of discoloration of each test body region is compared with a color sample showing the relationship between the provided concentration and color to determine the concentration of glucose, protein, occult blood in urine and the value of PH. After that, dispose of in a toilet bowl, flush the water, and the specimen also flows out. Each component can be similarly measured for a strip-shaped test body.

In the case of a test body that detects one component, the test body is immersed in urine in the toilet bowl to measure the four components, and the degree of discoloration of the test body is compared with a color sample to determine each component. To determine the concentration of. It is also possible to discard the test paper piece in a toilet bowl and observe the degree of discoloration to know the concentration of the component.

Further, in the case of producing a test body for testing one component, a solution containing a test agent is impregnated into the entire support such as paper, dried and cut into a roll or an appropriate size. It may be an inspection body. For example, on a roll of paper,
A glucose test solution is impregnated by a dipping method, dried, and wound as it is to form a rolled test body. In addition, a sheet of paper (size A3 or B4) is coated with a solution of a glucose test agent by a spray method, dried, and then cut into strips of an appropriate size to obtain a test body. Further, it is also possible to impregnate a piece of paper or pulp with a solution of a glucose test agent by a spray method and dry it to obtain a powdery test body.

In the case of using a test body impregnated with the above-mentioned test agent, after urinating in a flush toilet, in the case of a roll-shaped test body, it is cut into an appropriate size and thrown into a toilet bowl to discolor the test body. The degree is compared with a color swatch showing the relationship between the provided concentration and color to determine the glucose concentration in urine. After that, flush the water and discard the inspection body. In the case of a strip test body, one test body is placed in the toilet bowl after urination, and the glucose concentration in urine is determined in the same manner as described above. In the case of a powdery test body, put an appropriate amount in the toilet bowl after urination and judge the color of the paper dust before the paper dust completely sinks to know the glucose concentration in the urine.

As the support used in the present invention, paper is generally used, but any support may be used as long as it supports the test agent and does not adversely affect the test agent. Further, it is necessary that it should not easily clog the flush toilet when it is discarded in the flush toilet.
