DISPOSABLE FLUID SAMPLE COLLECTION DEVICE

A fluid sampling device (100) that operates by a combination of capillary action to collect a small fluid sample, and by pressure differential when inserted into an analyzer (200) to expose the fluid sample for testing by the analyzer (200). The device is especially suited for use as a disposable bl...

More Information
Summary:A fluid sampling device (100) that operates by a combination of capillary action to collect a small fluid sample, and by pressure differential when inserted into an analyzer (200) to expose the fluid sample for testing by the analyzer (200). The device is especially suited for use as a disposable blood sampling unit designed to interface with a blood analyzer, albeit the concept of the invention may be employed for sampling and testing virtually any fluids. L'invention concerne un dispositif de prélèvement d'échantillon liquide (100), qui fonctionne par combinaison d'une action capillaire de récolte d'un petit prélèvement d'échantillon liquide et d'une différence de pression lorsque le dispositif est inséré dans un analyseur (200) pour effectuer un essai sur l'échantillon liquide. Le dispositif convient particulièrement comme appareil de prélèvement sanguin jetable conçu pour servir d'interface avec l'analyseur, bien que le concept de l'invention puisse être employé pour prélever et tester virtuellement toute sorte de liquide.
