Abstract

The pneumatic tube transport system (PTS) is used frequently for the transport of samples in hospitals. Effects of PTS on urine components are unknown. In our study, we aim to examine the influence of PTS on the quality of routine urine microscopic parameters. Urine samples were divided into two groups: group 1 were transported to the laboratory manually and group 2 were transported to the laboratory via the PTS. Each of 187 urine samples was studied with iQ200 automated urine devices for erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, crystal, cast and yeast cells. No statistically significant differences were detected between group 1 and group 2 for urine parameters. For erythrocytes, leukocytes, and epithelial cells, the gamma was 0.982, 0.959, and 1.0, respectively. For crystal, cast and yeast cells, the kappa values were 0.952, 0.866, and 1.0, respectively. PTS has no effect on erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, crystal, cast, and yeast cells in urine analysis. We concluded that PTS can be used in the transport of urine samples.

摘要

气动管运输系统 (PTS) 经常用于医院中的样本运输。PTS 对尿液成分的影响尚不清楚。在我们的研究中，我们旨在检查 PTS 对常规尿液显微镜参数质量的影响。尿液样本分为两组：第 1 组人工运送到实验室，第 2 组通过人工运送到实验室。临时秘书处。使用 iQ200 自动尿液装置对 187 个尿液样本中的每一个进行了研究，以检测红细胞、白细胞、上皮细胞、晶体细胞、管型细胞和酵母细胞。第 1 组和第 2 组之间的尿液参数未检测到统计学上的显着差异。对于红细胞、白细胞和上皮细胞，γ 分别为 0.982、0.959 和 1.0。对于水晶细胞、铸型细胞和酵母细胞，kappa 值分别为 0.952、0.866 和 1.0。PTS 对尿液分析中的红细胞、白细胞、上皮细胞、晶体、管型和酵母细胞没有影响。我们得出结论，PTS 可用于尿液样本的运输。
