Benefits of technology

The patent aims to provide a more reliable and economical at-home blood pregnancy test kit that uses two types of antibodies and the sandwich principle. Additionally, the device is designed to be durable and easy to make.

Problems solved by technology

The prior art references, however, do not disclose a blood test kit that is suitable for home use.
Thus, Hoff does not disclose a blood test kit that is suitable for use at home to detect pregnancy.
Chemiluminescence, however, must be performed in a lab, and therefore not suitable to be performed in a home setting.
Thus, Cole fails to disclose an at-home pregnancy test kit.
Additionally, the method of Cole cannot be performed in a home setting.
Thus, D'Aurora does not disclose a kit comprising a housing with a test window, a push button, and a sample pad, wherein the foregoing components are in fluid communication with each other.
Thus, O'Neill does not disclose a method of detecting pregnancy, wherein the method cannot be performed in a home setting.
These devices and methods are limited in that they must be used or performed in a lab setting.

Abstract

Disclosed is an at-home blood pregnancy test kit that can identify the presence of hCG in a blood sample to detect pregnancy in female mammals. The present kit includes a housing having a sample strip that is in fluid communication with a sample pad for holding a blood sample, a test pad, and a conjugate pad. The housing further includes a test window and a push button for releasing a reagent that can react with hCG. The reagent and the test pad include antibodies that can bind with hCG antigens to detect presence of the same. The test window is adapted to display a symbol that indicates a negative pregnancy test result in the absence of hCG, or display a symbol that indicates a positive pregnancy test result in the presence of hCG.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 941,083 filed on Feb. 18, 2014. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a pregnancy test kit. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a portable pregnancy test kit that is suitable for home use. The present test kit is adapted to perform an hCG immunoassay to measure the presence of hCG in a blood sample, thereby detecting pregnancy. If a sufficient level of hCG is detected in the blood sample, the test kit can visually indicate the test result.[0004]Pregnancy tests are designed to determine whether a woman is pregnant. Most pregnancy tests are designed to indicate whether a person's urine or blood contains a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone...
