Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1 , a body fluid or tissue sampling device 10 includes a container, such as a capillary 12 , for receiving blood or other tissue or fluid samples. The capillary contains a needle 14 for pricking the patient's finger to obtain a small sample of blood drawn into the capillary. The capillary further contains a label 16 carrying a unique serial number in machine readable form.

[0017] The needle end 14 of the capillary protrudes through a biometric sensor surface 20 . More particularly for the illustrated embodiment, the sensor surface 20 is a glass or transparent plate 22 under which a fingerprint scanner 24 is mounted. The scanner reads the patient's fingerprint as the patient presses their finger against the glass plate 22 and capillary needle 14 to draw a blood sample. At the same time, the reader 26 reads the unique identification on the tag 16 . Processor 28 receives fingerprint information from the scanner and a unique serial number from reader ...

Abstract

A patient presses a finger concurrently against a needle (14) of a collection container (12) and a fingerprint surface (22, 52). In one embodiment, the patient's fingerprint is read electronically by a scanner (24) and correlated with a container serial number (16). In another embodiment, the patient's fingerprint is embossed in a foil layer (52). An analyzer assembly (40, 40' 40'') analyzes the biological sample and reads either the container serial number or scans the fingerprint carrying layer (52) and sends the test results and either the fingerprint or container identification to a patient memory (30). Using the fingerprint information, a processor (32) correlates the test results with a record (60) of a corresponding patient. Alternately or additionally, the analyzer assembly includes a DNA analyzer (70) which measures preselected DNA characteristics (76) of the sample. The processor (32) compares the measured DNA subset characteristics with DNA subset characteristics (66) in the patient records to correlate or confirm the correlation of the analysis results with the proper patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of point-of-care diagnostics (POCD) and will be described with particular reference to that field. It should be understood, however, that the invention may also find application in other fields, including the collection and analysis of blood, tissue, or other bodily matter. Background technique [0002] Typically, blood and other tissue and fluid samples are taken from the patient and placed into appropriate containers, usually hermetically sealed. In some cases, samples are analyzed using automated analysis equipment, which is located in the same room as the patient. Once the samples are analyzed, the operator correlates the test results to a specific patient. In other cases, the attendant tags the container with the patient's identification and sends the container to a central laboratory for analysis. Typically, containers are marked with a barcode, which is read by an analysis device so that the test results ...
