A fluid handling module that is removably engageable with a bodily fluid analyzer is provided. The module may comprise a fluid handling element, and a fluid component separator that is accessible via the fluid handling element and configured to separate at least one component of a bodily fluid transported to the fluid component separator. The fluid handling element may have at least one control element interface.

Disclosed is an apparatus for analyzing the composition of bodily fluid. The apparatus can include a fluid handling network including a patient end configured to maintain fluid communication with a bodily fluid in a patient and a pump unit in operative engagement with the fluid handling network. The pump unit can have an infusion mode, in which the pump unit is operable to deliver infusion fluid to the patient through the patient end, and a sample draw mode, in which the pump unit is operable to draw a sample of the bodily fluid from the patient through the patient end. The apparatus can include a spectroscopic analyzer positioned to analyze at least a portion of the sample; a processor in communication with or incorporated into the spectroscopic analyzer; and stored program instructions executable by the processor to obtain measurements of two or more properties of the sample.

A blood drawing assembly for use with a CVC hub includes a base member with a plurality of ports for the acceptance of a syringe. A top member is rotatably coupled to the base member such that the base member and its associated syringes are configured to rotated relative to the top member. An attachment device is included in communication with the top member. The attachment device releasably coupled directly to the CVC hub. The syringes are selectively engaged with an internal seat in the top member and brought into fluid communication with the attachment device and corresponding CVC hub. Fluids may be exchanged or passed through the attachment device and the syringes from the patient's body.

Provided herein is a blood draw device for use with a PIVC. The blood draw device includes a catheter, an introducer housing, and an actuator movably coupled to the introducer housing. The introducer housing includes a first member and a second member coupled together via a plurality of snaps to define an inner volume configured to movably receive the catheter. A plurality of lower snaps is formed on the first housing member and spaced apart between proximal and distal ends thereof, each of the lower snaps having a hook that is oriented downward. A first upper snap is formed on the first housing member at a distal end thereof, the first upper snap having a hook that is oriented upward. A second upper snap is formed on the second housing member at a proximal end thereof, the second upper snap having a hook that is oriented downward.

Disclosed is a system for rapid analysis of a capillary blood sample from a subject, intended for detecting the presence of at least one analyte in the capillary blood sample. The rapid analysis system includes an analysis module in which is incorporated at least one immunochromatographic strip. The analysis module includes: a pricking member, suitable for generating a drop of capillary blood; and a collecting member, including a fixed duct, suitable for capillary blood to flow therethrough. The duct has an inlet suitable for collecting the drop of capillary blood, and an outlet, arranged opposite the deposition area and suitable for depositing the drop of capillary blood onto the deposition area, and a container, separate from/independent of the analysis module, in which is packed a buffer solution suitable for implementing the immunochromatographic technique.

An apparatus includes a catheter, an introducer, and an actuator. A distal end portion of the introducer has a lock configured to couple the introducer to a closed system intravenous line at least partially disposed in a body. The lock is configured to transition a seal of the closed system intravenous line from a closed state to an open state when coupled thereto. The actuator is at least partially disposed in the introducer and coupled to a proximal end portion of the catheter. The actuator is configured to move the catheter between a first position, in which the catheter is disposed within the introducer, and a second position, in which the catheter extends through the seal of the closed system intravenous line such that a distal end surface of the catheter is positioned distal to the closed system intravenous line.

Disclosed is a replaceable blood lancet device in which a needle unit including a needle carrier and a front slider is used as inserted in a tubular barrel, and the used needle unit or needle carrier is replaced after use. The replaceable blood lancet device minimizes waste of resources by reducing the parts to be discarded in reuse. In addition, the front slider inserted in the barrel is easily loaded and unloaded through the withdrawal grip portion provided in the front slider. Further, an action spring for elastically pushing the needle carrier in a frontward direction, and a rear end cap for supporting the actuation spring to be compressed to generate an elastic force are provided, so that the blood lancet device can perform blood collection based on the elastic force of the spring.

A device for collecting blood from a mammalian subject without using spontaneous capillary blood flow, the device including a collection cup subassembly having a cantilevered, concave slide for transporting blood down and away from a blood sampling location; a mid-body subassembly couplable to the collection cup assembly and including a housing having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a plenum space; and a plunger subassembly having a first end and a second end and including a plunger formed at the second end and one or more lancet elements attached to the plunger. Advantageously, the plunger and lancet elements are structured and arranged to translate through the mid-body subassembly and the collection cup subassembly to the blood sampling location.

Devices and methods for extracting and concentrating therapeutically active factors from mammalian fluids and tissues are described herein.

A container assembly is disclosed including an outer container, a hollow inner member, and a closure. The outer container has a closed bottom, an open top, and a sidewall extending therebetween. The hollow inner member is disposed within the outer container and has an inner surface defining at least one capillary channel. The inner member includes a first end adjacent to the open top of the outer container and has an outer periphery seated against the sidewall of the outer container. The closure has a proximal end and a distal end. The closure proximal end is seated at least partially within the first end of the inner member to seal the outer container and inner member and define a fluid collection chamber. The closure distal end defines a recessed area shaped to direct fluid under capillary action to the at least one capillary channel in the inner member.
