"When I first met with the HANMEDICS team and they showed me the Care Clean 3000, I

could not believe that the product did not exist in the United State," explains Ike Odum

President of RMS. "The appliance not only provides a positive experience for the patient, italso increases the productivity of the healthcare workers. The Care Clean 3000 will reduce

the need for diapers, thus lowering the monthly and yearly cost for short and long-term

sure: Anyone who invests in the (green) Care Clean 3000 will have a marketing platform

over their competitors."

GENERAL PROBLEM

To design and develop a system that has capable of collecting several specimens,

specifically, the urine, feces or semen and analyzing those specimens automatically. It

enables those patients to give sample of their specimen without constant aid of a

caregiver.

SPECIFIC PROBLEM

y What physical structure of the device will be considered to make it comfortable

for the user?

y What are the processes in analyzing specimen like urine, feces and semen?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM

To the patients

This development of automated urinalysis/feces/semen collector and analyzer with

constituent measuring system reduces the burden of outpatient care by providing simple

operation for those who do not use of hands.

To the society

A direct contact with the specimen might be harmful with the health of the doctors as

well with the patients because of the bacteria present in it. The system prohibits a direct contact

with the specimen thus providing a safer way in checking their specimens.

Procedure ofurine samplecollection:

Patient is given a clean bottle of 5 to 10 ml enclosed with a cap and informed to clean the

surrounding area with swab, and while voiding urine the person collects a small quantity of fresh

morning sample in that bottle, usually a midstream sample is collected and handed over the

enclosed bottle along with patient details on it to the laboratory or testing site within an hour of

collection

Methods ofurineanalysis:

1. Naked eye testing and smell: Colour and cloudiness of the urine is noted through

naked eye. Yellow, amber, pale or red are the few colour types which can be

noted and Clear or cloudy consistency and also the smell of urine is sensed

which is of useful importance

2. Protein testing: Take around 1 ml of urine sample in 2 separate test tubes. Put

one tube into the hot water bath, and leave the other at room temperature. After

a few minutes, take the test tube out of the water bath, and compare the heated

and unheated urine. If the heated sample is cloudier, it contains protein.

3. pH testing: Dip a piece of universal indicator paper into the urine. Quickly take it

out, and leave it for 30 seconds. Compare the new colour with the pH colour

chart, and note the pH

4. Testing for glucose: This test is used to know whether there is any presence of

glucose in the urine, if yes then it can indicate disease conditions like Diabetes

5. Urine dipstick Test: It is a long strip which has several squares of different colors

on it. Each square is used to interpret urinalysis. The strip is dipped completely in

the urine sample and color changes are noted after 5 minutes. The squares on

the dipstick represent the following components in the urine-

6. Specific gravity, pH, protein in the urine, glucose, ketone bodies, blood,

leukocyte, nitrite, bilirubin and urobilinogen

7. Microscopic evaluation: Cells, Cellular debris, Casts, Bacteria and crystals or

small structures

8. Culture and sensitivity: This is used for culture of certain specific bacteria where

the medicines are not effective in the treatment and the drug sensitivity.

Uses:

y It is used more commonly to diagnose urine tract infections like cystitis, Prostatitis,

Urethral infections etc

y To diagnose kidney infections like pyelonephritis, Glomerulonephritis

y To diagnose various other diseases like pyuria, Rhabdomyosis, Metabolic disorders,

bleeding disorders, inherited disorders etc

y To screen chronic diseases like Diabetes mellitus and Hypertension

y In combination with other tests for evaluation of kidney stones, muscle protein

breakdown and inflammation of kidney structures

y In medico legal cases where drugs have been taken and misused

y For interpretation of medicines and its efficacy.
