Abstract:
Objective To develop a new foldable test tube rack to solve the inconvenience and safety issues arising from transferring the specimens to test all together.Methods 482 urine specimens of 69 daily routines collected in the morning from various sections of the hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.The experimental group was placed in the foldable test tube rack; however,the control group was managed with traditional methods.Results The index of stability in the experimental group was 98.3％,95.0％ in the control group,and there was significant difference in both groups ( x2 =4.06,P ＜ 0.05).Environmental pollution did not occur in the experimental group,while it happened six times in the experimental group,there was significant difference between both groups( x2 =4.06,P ＜ 0.05 ).The time for transferring specimens was (18.72 ± 2.92) minutes in the experimental group,(27.28 ± 3.87 ) minutes for the control group,there was significant difference between them( t =3.04,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Foldable test tube rack for transferring specimen is time-saving,as well as avoids re-sorting and places specimens,improves work efficiency; enhances the specimen placement stability,avoiding environmental pollution arising from dumping,overflowing,and sprinkling.
