    摘要: A fluid control device includes an inlet configured to be placed in fluid communication with a bodily fluid source and an outlet configured to be placed in fluid communication with a fluid collection device, which can produce a negative pressure differential between the outlet and the inlet. A sequestration portion is in fluid communication with the inlet and includes a first flow controller configured to transition from a first state to a second state to place the sequestration portion in fluid communication with the outlet when the negative pressure differential has a first magnitude. A sampling portion is in fluid communication with an outlet and includes a second flow controller configured to transition from a first state to a second state to place the sampling portion in fluid communication with the inlet when the negative pressure differential has a second magnitude greater than the first magnitude.

    摘要: A fluid control device includes an inlet configured to be placed directly or indirectly in fluid communication with a bodily fluid source and an outlet configured to be placed in fluid communication with a fluid collection device. The fluid control device has a first state in which a negative pressure differential produced from an external source such as the fluid collection device is applied to the fluid control device to draw an initial volume of bodily fluid from the bodily fluid source, through the inlet, and into a sequestration portion of the fluid control device. The fluid control device has a second state in which (1) the sequestration portion sequesters the initial volume, and (2) the negative pressure differential draws a subsequent volume of bodily fluid, being substantially free of contaminants, from the bodily fluid source, through the fluid control device, and into the fluid collection device.

    摘要: A system for verifying a sample volume includes a sample reservoir and a volumetric verification device. The sample reservoir defines an inner volume and is configured to receive a volume of bodily fluid. The inner volume of the sample reservoir contains an additive. The volumetric verification device includes a first indicator and a second indicator. The volumetric verification device is configured to selectively engage the sample reservoir to (1) place the first indicator in a first position along a length of the sample reservoir such that the first indicator is substantially aligned with a surface and/or meniscus of the additive and (2) place the second indicator in a second position along the length of the sample reservoir such that the second indicator is substantially aligned with a predetermined fill volume when bodily fluid is transferred to the inner volume.

    摘要: A bodily fluid sequestration device (100), the device comprising a housing (101) including a port (105) and defining an inner volume (111), the port configured to receive a flow of bodily fluids therethrough, the port configured to be placed in fluid communication with a first flow path (181) and a second flow path (191); and a valve disposed in the first flow path and configured to form a substantially fluid tight seal with a set of walls defining the first flow path, the valve being operative to move from a closed configuration to an open configuration in response to a pressure differential to allow an initial volume of bodily fluid to be transferred from the port and into the first flow path, the valve being further operative to return to the closed configuration in response to equalization of the pressure differential to sequester the initial volume of bodily fluid from the second flow path, after the valve is returned to the closed configuration, the second flow path configured to receive a subsequent volume of bodily fluid with reduced contamination due to the sequestration of the initial volume of bodily fluid.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a fluid reservoir, a sterilization member, and a transfer adapter. The sterilization member operably couples to the fluid reservoir. The sterilization member is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the sterilization member obstructs an inlet surface of the fluid reservoir and maintains the inlet surface in a substantially sterile environment, and a second configuration, in which the inlet surface is unobstructed. The transfer adapter is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a portion of a patient. The transfer adapter is configured to move relative to the sterilization member from a first position to a second position such that a surface of the transfer adapter contacts the sterilization member to transition the sterilization member to the second configuration. The fluid reservoir is placed in fluid communication with the transfer adapter when the transfer adapter is in the second position.

    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus for obtaining a bodily-fluid sample from a patient, the apparatus comprising: a distribution member (629) forming at least a portion of a pre-sample reservoir (670) and defining a fluid flow path in fluid communication with an outlet; and a flow controller (640) in fluid communication with the distribution member (629) and configured to be placed in fluid communication with the patient, the flow controller (640) having a first configuration in which the flow controller (640) is in fluid communication with the pre-sample reservoir (670) to transfer a first volume of bodily-fluid from the patient to the pre-sample reservoir (670), the flow controller (640) configured to transition from the first configuration to a second configuration after the first volume of bodily-fluid is transferred into the pre-sample reservoir (670) to sequester the first volume in the pre-sample reservoir (670) and transfer a second volume of bodily-fluid to the fluid flow path, the distribution member (629) configured to be coupled to a sample reservoir after the second volume of bodily-fluid is transferred into the fluid flow path, the outlet configured to place the fluid flow path in fluid communication with the sample reservoir (670) when the distribution member (629) is coupled to the sample reservoir (670) to transfer a sample volume of bodily-fluid from the fluid flow path into the sample reservoir (670).
