Clinical application study was performed in 20 consecutive suspected COVID-19 patients from a fever clinic to compare the pathogen test results of the two methods. The Ct values showed 97% specimens as qualified, and no significant difference in the quality of the specimens was found in the four sampling force groups based on the sample GADPH Ct value. No differences in the success rate, swab quality, and pathogen discovery results were found between the oropharyngeal-swab robot and manual sampling methods. Though this was a preliminary, single-center study in limited COVID-19 patients, the sampling process of the intelligent oropharyngeal-swab robot is safe, with a high success rate of sampling. ./cache/cord-323480-h6z3vim0.txt ./txt/cord-323480-h6z3vim0.txt
