INDIVIDUAL TEST FOR ANOSMIA AND HYPOSMIA DETECTION

摘要

Individual test for the detection of olfactory anomalies such as single-use anosmia or hyposmia that introduces a system of particles in a solid medium (high absorption strips) vacuum packed to ensure its durability and effectiveness. This test has six aromas (lemon, mint, anise, cinnamon, jasmine and vinegar) in two concentrations (one at 12.50% and the other at 25.00%), to which is added a seventh aroma considered neutral (water) at a concentration of 100.00%. This test allows the liminal and supraliminary olfactory measurement of the subject to be carried out, thus obtaining a quantitative individual olfactometry that allows detection of the involvement of the first cranial pair or olfactory nerve (1 PC) and the fifth mixed cranial pair (V PC) . In addition to the olfactory strips, the kit includes a card that has a unique alphanumeric code that prevents two people from carrying out the test using the same kit. Likewise, the entire system has visual and written help to facilitate its use, each strip being of a specific color and containing a unique identifying number from 1 to 14 that facilitates the use and completion of the data in the application. The card also includes the instructions along with a URL and a QR code that links directly to the application in which these responses can be entered to automatically generate, by means of an algorithm, a result that determines the olfactory state of the subject.
