More Information
Summary:A system determines if a breath sample is valid or invalid for subsequent diagnostic analysis. The system includes a breath collection device configured to contain a collected patient breath sample. A cassette has reagents therein and is configured to fluidly couple with the breath collection device and the validity analysis device. A validity analysis device has a fluidic pathway and a controller. The validity analysis device is configured to fluidly couple with the cassette and/or the breath collection device. The analysis device is further configured to evacuate at least a portion of the patient breath sample from the breath collection device, such that the patient breath sample passes through the cassette to define a processed gas sample. A CO2 sensor is configured to determine a CO2 concentration in the processed gas sample. The controller is configured to determine when a patient provided an invalid collected patient breath sample.
