Inventor: HAMILTON PETER A
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: An apparatus for steering a guidewire and for connecting the guidewire to an extension guidewire. The apparatus includes a steering device for gripping an exterior of the guidewire, the steering device defining a passageway therein through which the guidewire may pass; and a connecting device for connecting the guidewire to the extension guidewire. The connecting device is configured for mating with the steering device to form an integral unit. The invention further includes a method of inserting a guidewire in a body and connecting the guidewire to an extension guidewire. The method includes the steps of: providing an integral guidewire holder and tool for connecting a guidewire to an extension guidewire; gripping the guidewire with the integral guidewire holder; inserting the guidewire into a body lumen; displacing the integral guidewire holder and tool relative to the guidewire so that the proximal end of the guidewire is located in a slot of the integral guidewire holder and tool; inserting an extension guidewire into the slot of the integral guidewire holder and tool; and connecting the guidewire to the extension guidewire. The method further includes the step of aligning the guidewire and extension guidewire in the slot prior to the connecting step.

Abstract: The invention concerns a chemical or biochemical analyser comprising a pair of automatic sampling units (66A, 66B) operating independently, each equipped with a retractable suction pipette (68A, 68B) for transferring predetermined amounts of samples and reagents from the tray (14) to a reaction vessel (22) of an analysing module. The reaction vessel (22) is heated by convection by means of a heating plate (54) arranged proximate to the lower portion of the wells (23), and controlled by a heat-sensing regulating circuit (58). A fast preheating device (72) is incorporated in the sampling unit (66A) for preheating the reactive liquid before it is introduced into the wells (23) of the reaction vessel (22). A mixing device (84) is controlled by a relay magnet (86) to provoke a reciprocating oscillating movement of the pipette (68A) when the latter is in lowered position in the well (23) of the reaction vessel (22) so as to stir the mixture of samples and reagents.
