Problems solved by technology

Due to the large volume of blood, drawing blood from an alternative sampling site on the subject (which can be less painful and / or less invasive) is often disadvantageous because it does not yield the volume of blood required for conventional testing methods
In some cases, patient anxiety associated with venipuncture may reduce patient compliance with testing protocols
In addition, traditional collection techniques are trying picture Adds unnecessary complexity when separating a single blood sample into different containers for different analytical preparation

Embodiment approach

[0377] In one embodiment described herein, there is provided an apparatus for collecting a sample of bodily fluid from a subject, comprising: at least two sample collection pathways configured to separate the sample of bodily fluid from the A single end of the device in contact with a subject is drawn into the device, thereby separating the fluid sample into two separate samples; a second portion comprising a A plurality of sample containers of the bodily fluid sample, the sample containers being operably engageable to be in fluid communication with the sample collection passage, whereby when fluid communication is established, the containers provide power to separate the two separate Most of the sample moves from the pathway into the container.

[0378] In another embodiment described herein, a device for collecting a sample of bodily fluid is provided, comprising: a first portion including at least one fluid collection site leading to at least two sample collection passages,...

Abstract

The invention relates to a bodily fluid sample collection system, device, and method . The device may comprise a first portion comprising at least a sample collection channel configured to draw the fluid sample into the sample collection channel via a first type of motive force. The sample collection device may include a second portion comprising a sample container for receiving the bodily fluid sample collected in the sample collection channel, the sample container operably engagable to be in fluid communication with the collection channel, whereupon when fluid communication is established, the container provides a second motive force different from the first motive force to move a majority of the bodily fluid sample from the channel into the container.

Description

[0001] This application has an international application date of March 17, 2014, an international application number of PCT / US2014 / 030792, an application number of 201480027221.6 entering the Chinese national phase, and a title of "system, device and method for collecting body fluid samples" A divisional application of an invention patent application. Background technique [0002] Blood samples for laboratory testing are typically obtained by venipuncture, which typically involves inserting a hypodermic needle into a subject's vein. Blood drawn from the hypodermic needle can be drawn directly into a syringe or into one or more sealed vials for subsequent processing. When venipuncture may be difficult or impractical, such as in newborns, non-venipuncture, such as a heel prick or other alternative site puncture, may be used to draw a blood sample for testing. After the blood sample is collected, the drawn sample is typically packaged and transferred to a processing center for a...
