This invention relates to a liquid sample collection apparatus comprising, a port for receiving a liquid sample, a collector for storing said liquid sample, at least one conduit connecting said port to said collector, and a sample detection apparatus comprising a sensor for detecting said liquid in said collector and generating an output depending on the quantity of said liquid detected in said collector, and a controller responsive to said sensor output and configured to determine that said sample has been collected when said sensor output indicates that a quantity of said liquid above a threshold amount is detected in said collector.

The present invention relates to an electronic module for a sample collection device, comprising: a measurement system for measuring a volume of collected fluid of a patient in real time and determining when a predefined amount of fluid has been collected, and means for providing a warning signal to a user when it is determined that the predefined amount of fluid has been collected.

Further, the inventions relates to a system for extracting and collecting a sample of a fluid of a patient.

A method for inversion counting or phlebotomist monitoring can include identifying, by processing circuitry, whether a blood collection tube is present in image data from a camera situated to capture images of a phlebotomist collecting a sample, in response to identifying the blood collection tube is present in the field of view of the camera based on the image data, identifying whether the blood collection tube includes blood therein, after identifying the blood is present in the blood collection tube, counting, based on the image data, a number of inversions performed on the blood collection tube, and in response to determining the number of inversions performed is less than a required number of inversions, issuing an alert indicating that insufficient inversions were performed.

Blood collection apparatus includes a blood collection container and a mix detection unit operatively coupled to the blood collection container. The mix detection unit includes a device to produce a data signal indicative of the extent to which the blood collection container is moved in a manner to promote mixing of blood collected into the container and an anti-coagulant also present in the container. A method described herein provides for filling a blood collection container with blood, inverting the blood collection container by hand to mix the blood with an anti-coagulant, and viewing or listening to an indication generated by a mix detection device attached to the blood collection container, wherein the indication provides information about the appropriate amount of mixing for the blood.

A monitor device for an ostomy system comprising an ostomy appliance with a base plate and a method of monitoring an ostomy appliance is disclosed. The monitor device comprises a processor configured to apply a processing scheme; memory; a first interface connected to the processor and the memory, the first interface configured for collecting ostomy data from the base plate coupled to the first interface; and a second interface connected to the processor, wherein to apply a processing scheme comprises: obtain first parameter data, second parameter data, and third parameter data based on the ostomy data; and determine an operating state of the base plate of the ostomy appliance based on the first parameter data, the second parameter data and the third parameter data, wherein the operating state is indicative of a degree of radial erosion of the base plate and/or acute leakage risk for the ostomy appliance, wherein the monitor device is configured to, in accordance with a determination that the operating state is a first operating state, transmit a first monitor signal comprising monitor data indicative of the first operating state of the base plate via the second interface; and in accordance with a determination that the operating state is a second operating state, transmit a second monitor signal comprising monitor data indicative of the second operating state of the base plate via the second interface.

Described here are meters and methods for sampling, transporting, and/or analyzing a fluid sample. The meters may include a meter housing and a cartridge. In some instances, the meter may include a tower which may engage one or more portions of a cartridge. The meter housing may include an imaging system, which may or may not be included in the tower. The cartridge may include one or more sampling arrangements, which may be configured to collect a fluid sample from a sampling site. A sampling arrangement may include a skin-penetration member, a hub, and a quantification member.

A device for measuring electroencephalography (EEG) recordings of a subject, the portable device including a casing, at least two first electrodes extending from a first surface of the casing, the at least two first electrodes being configured to contact a scalp of the subject during an EEG recording, and at least one second electrode disposed on a second surface of the casing and configured to provide a ground connection during the EEG recording.

This invention relates to a medical device for use in aiding the successful placement of a needle tip in a blood vessel. The medical device comprises a body defining a vacuum chamber therein, a port for engagement of a hub of a needle, a fluid passageway through the port from the exterior of the body to the vacuum chamber in the interior of the body, and means to generate an audio/haptic feedback to a user acted upon by a vacuum in the vacuum chamber. The means to generate the audio/haptic feedback comprises an abutment arm and a complementary abutment surface engaged by the abutment arm. The abutment surface has ribs along its length, opposing the abutment arm. The vacuum in the vacuum chamber moves one of the abutment arm and the abutment surface relative to the other, thereby causing the abutment arm to releasably engage a rib to produce the audible/haptic feedback.
