    摘要: A fluid-delivery apparatus for delivering a medicament to a patient is provided in accordance with the present invention. The apparatus includes a housing defining a passageway, a bellowed ampoule positioned to lie in the passageway of the housing, and a piston. The bellowed ampoule includes a body with first and second ends and is formed to define a cavity configured to contain the medicament. The piston presses the second end of the ampoule toward the first end to dispense the medicament from the cavity. In addition, the fluid-delivery apparatus includes a visible non-linear scale that represents the relationship between a volume of medicament delivered from the first end of the ampoule and a distance that the piston has traveled in the housing toward the first end.

    摘要: A capillary pathway is dimensioned so that the driving force for the movement of liquid through the capillary pathway arises from capillary pressure. A plurality of groups of microstructures are fixed in the capillary pathway within discrete segments of the pathway for facilitating the transport of a liquid around curved portions of pathway. Capillary channels can be coupled between two adjacent groups of microstructures to either the inner and outer wall of the capillary pathway. The width of each capillary channel is generally smaller than the capillary pathway to which it is connected, and can be varied to achieve differences in fill initiation. The grouped microstructures are spaced from each other within each group on a nearest neighbor basis by less than that necessary to achieve capillary flow of liquid with each group. Each group of microstructures are spaced from any adjacent group by an inter-group space greater than the width of any adjacent capillary channels connected to the capillary pathway. Generally, the microstructures are centered on centers which are equally spaced from each other, and microstructures that are located closer to the inner wall of any curve in the capillary pathway are generally smaller than the microstructures located closer to the outer wall. This combination of structural features causes fluids to flow through the capillary pathway so that the rate of flow is somewhat non-uniform as the fluid travels around curved portions of the capillary pathway, the meniscus appearing to pause momentarily at each inter-group space, the flow being somewhat slower near the inner wall of a curved portion than near the outer wall.

    摘要: A capillary hematocrit separation structure is included within a housing having a fluid inlet port, a reaction region, and a capillary pathway connecting the inlet port and the reaction region. The capillary pathway is dimensioned so that the driving force for the movement of liquid through the capillary pathway arises from capillary pressure. A plurality of obstructions are fixed in the capillary pathway, each obstruction having a concave portion facing toward the vented reaction region on the down stream side of the obstructions as viewed with reference to a liquid flowing from the inlet port to the reaction region. The capillary pathway in a hematocrit separation structure for a single drop sample size includes about 105 obstructions, each obstruction including a concave portion having a volume of between about 10−4 to 10−5 &mgr;l for selectively receiving hematocrit.
