| 20120067144 | SPECIMEN SAMPLE COLLECTION SYSTEM - A specimen sample collection system includes a handle having opposing first and second ends, and a sufficiency indicator coupled to the handle, wherein the handle second end and sufficiency indicator form a cavity adapted to receive a sample collection pad; a sample collection pad having opposing ends, the sample collection pad partially contained within and extending from the handle second end and in contact with the sufficiency indicator, the sample collection pad having a cylindrical cross section; and, a pad compression tube having a first open end to go over the sample collection pad and second end of the handle, an opposing second end, an interior surface extending therebetween, and at least outlet port proximal to the pad compression tube second end and in fluid communication with the pad compression tube interior. The system may include wherein the sufficiency indicator is a light pipe or other indicating element, providing visual, aural or haptic indication of sufficient sample volume. The system may include wherein the sufficiency indicator includes longitudinal channels extending along the interior surface in contact with the sample collection pad to provide a path for displace air. The system may include a sealing member to seal against a pad compression tube and to engage the specimen collection pad. The system may include one or more collection tubes attachable to one or more of the pad compression tube outlet ports. The system may include ergonomic features for the handle and pad compression tube. The system may include a specimen collection pad having a full cross section portion and a reduced cross section portion, including a shoulder to engage a sealing member and an angled surface to conform to the interior surface of a light pipe sufficiency indicator. The system may include one or more in-line filters adjacent the pad compression tube outlet ports. The system may include additional features as described herein. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20110268626 | SPECIMEN SAMPLE COLLECTION DEVICE AND TEST SYSTEM - A specimen sample collection device includes a handle having a sufficiency indicator and absorbent pad partially contained therein with one or more test strips, a pad compression tube insertable over the absorbent pad within the handle and around an end of the handle, and a collection tube having one or more sample chambers, attachable to the pad compression tube, and wherein the compression tube defines one or more chambers, and wherein when the collection tube is attached to the pad compression tube, the chambers are in fluid communication with the pad compression tube. A sufficiency indicator includes a light pipe indicator. The system includes a ratcheting pad compression tube lock. An electro-optical reader captures and records test strip results through the window and communicates the results to a printer or other device. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20090306543 | Specimen Sample Collection Device and Test System - A specimen sample collection device and test system includes a handle with a sufficiency indicator and locking teeth, an absorbent pad partially contained within the handle; a pad compression tube with outlet ports and locking holes insertable over the pad and handle; one or more collection tubes attachable to the pad compression tube outlet ports. The apparatus may include a light pipe sufficiency indicator with a spring compressor to force the absorbent pad into contact with the light pipe. The apparatus may include a collector dam. The apparatus may include a secondary seal. The apparatus may include a cylindrically shaped absorbent pad and a wrap-around light pipe sufficiency indicator with vent grooves. The apparatus may include a pad seat with buffer material disposed within the pad compression tube. The apparatus may include an absorbent pad split and divided into two lengths connected at a base. The apparatus may include a bar code identification. The apparatus may include a lock and key securing mechanism. The apparatus may include a handle containing one or more analyte test strips The apparatus may include a first absorbent pad in fluid communication with a sample adequacy indicator, which is in parallel with a second absorbent pad in fluid communication with a lateral flow analyte test strip. The apparatus ma include a first absorbent pad in fluid communication with a sample adequacy indicator, which is in parallel with a second absorbent pad in fluid communication with a lateral flow analyte test strip, with an impermeable membrane separating the first and second absorbent pads. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090181451 | SPECIMEN SAMPLE COLLECTION DEVICE AND TEST SYSTEM - A specimen sample collection device and test system includes a handle having a sufficiency indicator, an absorbent pad partially contained within said handle, a pad compression tube insertable over said absorbent pad within said handle and around an end of said handle, and a collection tube having one or more sample chambers, attachable to said pad compression tube, and wherein said compression tube defines one or more chambers, and wherein when said collection tube is attached to said pad compression tube, the chambers are in fluid communication with said pad compression tube. A specimen sample collection device including a sufficiency indicator made up of a light pipe indicator window. A specimen sample collection device including an absorbent pad split and divided into two lengths connected at a base. A specimen sample collection device including a bar code identification. A specimen sample collection device and test system including a locking mechanism. A specimen sample collection device including a handle having one or more analyte test strips therein. A specimen sample collection device and test system including a reader. | 07-16-2009 |
