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).
摘要:
A syringe-based device includes a housing, a pre-sample reservoir, and an actuator. The housing defines an inner volume between a substantially open proximal end portion and a distal end portion that includes a port couplable to a lumen-defining device. The pre-sample reservoir is fluidically couplable to the port to receive and isolate a first volume of bodily fluid. The actuator is at least partially disposed in the inner volume and has a proximal end portion that includes an engagement portion and a distal end portion that includes a sealing member. The engagement portion is configured to allow a user to selectively move the actuator between a first configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to a sample reservoir defined at least in part by the sealing member and the housing.

A fluid transfer device for parenterally transferring fluid to and/or from a patient includes a housing, a needle, and an occlusion mechanism. The housing defines a fluid flow path and is couplable to a fluid reservoir. The needle has a distal end portion that is configured to be inserted into the patient and a proximal end portion that is configured to be fluidically coupled to the fluid flow path of the housing, and defines a lumen therebetween. The occlusion mechanism selectively controls a fluid flow between the needle and the fluid flow path. The occlusion mechanism includes an occlusion member that is movable between a first configuration where the lumen of the needle is obstructed during insertion into the patient and a second configuration where the lumen of the needle is unobstructed after the needle has been inserted into the patient allowing fluid transfer to or from the patient.
摘要:
An apparatus includes a cannula assembly, a housing, a fluid reservoir, a flow control mechanism, and an actuator. The housing includes an inlet port removably coupled to the cannula assembly and defines an inner volume. The fluid reservoir is fluidically coupled to the housing and configured to receive and isolate a volume of bodily fluid from a patient. The flow control mechanism is at least partially disposed in the inner volume. The actuator is operably coupled to the flow control mechanism and is configured to move the flow control mechanism between a first configuration, in which bodily fluid can flow, via a fluid flow path defined by the flow control mechanism, from the cannula assembly, through the inlet port and into the fluid reservoir, to a second configuration, in which the fluid reservoir is fluidically isolated from the cannula assembly.
摘要:
A method for reducing contamination in bodily-fluid samples using a parenteral sampling device (100), the device (100) including an inlet port (122) configured to be placed in fluid communication with a bodily-fluid source, an actuator (140), a fluid reservoir (170), and a flow control mechanism (130) configured to selectively place the fluid reservoir (170) in fluid communication with the inlet port (122), the method comprising: establishing fluid communication between the bodily-fluid source and the fluid reservoir (170); moving the actuator (140) a first distance to increase a volume of the fluid reservoir (170) such that a volume of bodily-fluid flows into the fluid reservoir (170); and moving the actuator (140) a second distance to move the flow control mechanism (130) from a first configuration, in which the flow control mechanism (130) defines at least a portion of a first fluid flow path, to a second configuration, in which the flow control mechanism (130) defines at least a portion of a second fluid flow path, the first fluid flow path defined between the inlet port (122) and the fluid reservoir (170), the second fluid flow path defined between the inlet port (122) and an outlet port (126) or a sample reservoir (180).
