INDUSTRIAL DESIGN OF STAND-ALONE ASSAY SYSTEM

摘要

A stand-alone assay system for POC IVD that is fast, easy to use, inexpensive and delivers laboratory quality results for one or more target analytes from a small volume of unprocessed aqueous sample is disclosed. The stand-alone assay system is a disposable digital device. The stand-alone assay system integrates a sampling system that relies on users swiping a lanced finger containing an unprocessed aqueous sample such as whole blood across a sample inlet to transfer or deposit the unprocessed aqueous sample on to a membrane filter or into a capillary. The stand-alone assays system may have one or more wireless modules for wirelessly transmitting assay information. The wireless modules can receive or transmit user information like patient ID or assay information like time, location or calibration values. The stand-alone assay system can display and transmit the assay information simultaneously. The stand-alone assays system can transmit the assay information through more than one wireless modules simultaneously.
