You'll be in the toilet of the mall
Do I have a urinalysis done?
A few days ago, Mr. Liu, a citizen of Shanghai, reported that a "health detection urinal" device appeared in the men's bathroom of some shopping malls in Shanghai, claiming that he only needed to scan the code and pay 19.9 yuan to view 14 urine routine indicators.
Mr. Liu said that when he went shopping at Xuhui Plaza in Yangpu District last week, he found that there was an additional display screen above the original urinal in the men's toilet, which read "Health Examination Urinal Pool". When he approached, the top of the screen immediately popped up "How long have you not had a medical checkup?" Get a urine test report now", and on the right side of the screen it reads: "3 easy steps, fast and accurate"
After scanning the code, I received 19.9 yuan, about 10 minutes after I received a prompt in the WeChat applet, I saw that I had a microalbumin here that was a little high, with questions I wanted to do a second test, I walked around the mall for an hour, only drank some mineral water, this time the results of microalbumin were normal, glucose was slightly elevated, how much elevated was not shown, I have a question, do this test in a public shopping mall, can you be responsible for the results?
From the video taken by Mr. Liu, the reporter saw that there was also a patent report on the screen of "Beijing well-known tertiary hospitals and enterprises joint research group project".
Through the customer service phone number on the equipment, the reporter contacted the installation company of this set of equipment - Beijing Shaoduo Technology Co., Ltd. According to Ms. Zhu, the project manager, the company is an innovative enterprise dedicated to the research and development and popularization of early screening equipment for major diseases.
Project Manager Miss Zhu: Our equipment is fully moving, and the sampling system will be activated when scanning the code to pay, and you can do a urine test. It will have a probe head inside, read the data, upload it to the cloud, and then send it to his WeChat. We also have more than 40 patents, and the accuracy can reach more than 90%.
Is this test accurate? With questions, the reporter consulted a number of professionals, Tian Jiale, assistant director of the laboratory department of Tongji Hospital, first said after watching the whole process, "as an entertainment nature, you can still pass the time, as a reference, for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases or other possible significance, "similar examinations in medical institutions strictly follow one person and one tube, and there are requirements for sampling, storage, and transportation to ensure that the data can be used and have diagnostic value."
Tongji Hospital tests urine specimens
Tian Jiale, assistant director of the laboratory department of Tongji Hospital: In the hospital, we will use a microscope to automatically take some sediment of this urine under the microscope to eliminate some interference. For example, microalbumin will also be tested by a large biochemical instrument, and the result reported is not negative or positive, but a specific numerical result. If there is a related disease, the value will have a relatively large diagnostic value. Negative and positive have no reference value.

Is there a qualified testing environment and conditions in a public place such as a shopping mall toilet? Manager Zhu emphasized that there are at least three rinses for each sampling
Project Manager Miss Zhu: We are infrared-sensing, sensing that there will be a flush when people leave and people come, and then what is the third time? Because we take the middle and posterior urine, our anterior urine is the third flush. For example, 100 people urinated in this urinal today, and only 2 people scanned the code to pay, and only the urine of these two people will be collected, and the rest of the urine will be washed away directly, and will not go through the sampling system, so it will not have an impact.
But in the eyes of medical experts, these so-called cleaning processes are also non-compliant
Tian Jiale, assistant director of the laboratory department of Tongji Hospital: Each specimen of the urine analyzer is sucked with a needle, and a large amount of cleaning solution will be used to clean it after each sample is completed to ensure that the strong positive or large amount of red and white blood cells of the previous specimen will not affect the next specimen. At the same time, the storage environment and time of the test strip have an impact on the accuracy of the test results, making the results doubtful.
The reporter found through the inquiry of the drug regulatory department that the device has not applied for medical device filing in Shanghai, that is, there is no difference from other urinals. Many shopping malls have also said that this is not a medical device, and as long as a business license and trademark registration are provided, they can be settled.
In fact, when you go to a community hospital for a urine test, you don't need to queue up during off-peak hours, and the urine test is only 10 yuan at your own expense, plus the registration fee, which is still cheaper than the test fee of 19 yuan 9.
In online pharmacies, you can also buy urine test strips that can also measure 14 items, and a box of less than 38 pieces. And a box of test strips can perform 10 such tests, which is less than four dollars each time.
At present, the reporter has reported the above situation to the 12345 citizen hotline.
For such a test, netizens bluntly said: I cheated money and cheated to the toilet
Have you ever seen this device? Will you use it to detect?
