Encrusted catheters from 10 female patients were the source of 26 samples of deposits which were examined by X-ray diffraction. Four different types of catheter were represented. The only detectable compound in all of the samples was ammonium magnesium orthophosphate hexahydrate (NH4MgPO4 . 6H2O), which occurs naturally as the mineral struvite.
从10名女性患者的结痂导管中获取了26份沉积物样本,并用X射线衍射法进行了检测。这些导管代表了四种不同类型。所有样本中唯一可检测到的化合物是六水合磷酸镁铵(NH4MgPO4·6H2O),它作为鸟粪石矿物天然存在。
