A fertility kit for performing self-insemination, comprising a package with three sets of sterilized disposable syringes and collection jars. Each fertility syringe comprises: an outer rigid tubular barrel and an inner plunger. The barrel comprises a curved distal end with a small circular distal opening, and a sealed proximal end, and an inner hollow tube housing the plunger. The barrel's proximal end also comprises two opposing circular members to fit a user's fingers; and a plunger flat end fitting in-between. The plunger distal end has a has a funnel-like shape that fits into the barrel curved end to push all the semen out while preventing a backflow. The collection jar comprises a sealable lid, and an inner surface comprising smooth seamless edges. Fresh or frozen, unwashed semen is deposited into the jar, pulled into the syringe, and administered cervically during a user's maximum monthly level of luteinizing hormone.

An interstitial fluid removal device including a first needle, a second needle, a fluid injector and an interstitial fluid extractor. The first needle is configured for insertion in a tissue of a multicellular organism to provide a fluid inlet channel. The second needle is configured for insertion in a tissue of a multicellular organism to provide an interstitial fluid outlet channel. The fluid injector is arranged in fluid communication with both a fluid source and the first needle and configured to inject a fluid in the tissue of the multicellular organism. The fluid extractor is arranged in fluid communication with the second needle and configured to extract interstitial fluid from the tissue of the multicellular organism. The fluid injector and the fluid extractor are independently and/or simultaneously operable with respect to each other.

Fluid collection assemblies (100, 200, 300a, 300b, 400a, 400b, 500, 600) including a sample port (112, 212, 312, 412a, 412b, 512), systems (146a) including the same, and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. An example fluid collection assembly (100) includes a fluid impermeable barrier (102) including a first end region (104), a second end region (106) opposite the first end region, and a sump (108) that forms at least a portion of the first end region. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines at least one opening (114) between the first end region and the second end region and a fluid reservoir that is defined by at least a portion of the sump. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one wicking material (138) disposed in the chamber (116) and a sample port (112) extending from the sump. The sample port is configured to be connected to a fluid collector (144a). The sample port is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir (110) such that a sample of the bodily fluids received by the fluid collection assembly may be obtained.

A toilet device includes a toilet seat disposed on an upper side of a toilet; an image sensor provided on a back surface of the toilet seat and configured to image an inner space of a toilet bowl at time of excretion; an open-close acquiring device configured to acquire open-close information of the toilet seat; and an imaging controller configured to determine whether or not to image by the image sensor according to the open-close information of the toilet seat acquired by the open-close acquiring device.

The present disclosure provides a fluidic device including a first inlet, an outlet, and a channel positioned between the first inlet and the outlet. The channel is in fluid communication with the first inlet and the outlet. The fluidic device further includes a second inlet positioned between the first inlet and the outlet. The second inlet is in fluid communication with the channel. The fluidic device further includes a pump in fluid communication with the second inlet. The pump is configured to provide a first volume of pulsatile flow to the channel The first volume of pulsatile flow is greater than about 50 μL per pulse.

A universal single-handed device for self-collection of a biological sample is described herein. The single-handed device may comprise a sheath comprising a distal end for insertion into a portion of a user's body, a shaft at least partially within the sheath, having a collection head for collecting the biological sample positioned at the distal end thereof, and an actuator coupled to the shaft to transition the distal end between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The collection head is covered by the distal end in the closed configuration and is exposed when the distal end is in the open configuration.

A collection container can include a first end, a second end, and a central recess disposed between the first end and the second end. The central recess can be configured to receive a sample. The collection container can have a first stopper disposed adjacent to the first end and a second stopper disposed adjacent to the second end. The first stopper and the second stopper can be configured to together grasp opposite sides of a toilet bowl upon installation of the collection container on the toilet bowl. The first stopper and the second stopper selectively hold the collection container in place on the toilet bowl during collection of the sample.

A urine color and concentration assessment system includes a housing, a color chart supported by the housing, and a urine collection container supported by the housing and positioned adjacent the color chart. The urine collection container configured to receive a urine sample for comparing a color of the urine sample to a color of the color chart.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for the collection of bodily fluids. The collector can make use of microfluidic networks connected to collection sites on the skin of a subject to gather and shuttle blood into a removable cartridge. The collected fluid is supplied to substrate for drying, storage and transport.

An inspection apparatus includes a measurement apparatus that measures an inner diameter and a blood flow velocity in an artery from a fetus to a placenta of a pregnant woman, a calculation apparatus that calculates a Reynolds number based on the inner diameter and the blood flow velocity in the artery measured by the measurement apparatus, and a determination apparatus that determines, for a pregnant woman who is 20 weeks or more pregnant, that the fetus may be developing FGR in a case that the Reynolds number is less than a first threshold value.
