Abstract:
This invention is in the field of medical devices. Specifically, the present invention provides portable medical devices that allow real-time detection of analytes from a biological fluid. The methods and devices are particularly useful for providing point-of-care testing for a variety of medical applications. In particular, the medical device reduces interference with an optical signal which is indicative of the presence of an analyte in a bodily sample.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of detecting an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid using a fluidic device comprising a sample collection unit, an assay assembly, and a waste chamber, the method comprising:\n providing the sample of bodily fluid in the assay assembly of the fluidic device by moving the sample through the sample collection unit of the fluidic device, wherein the sample collection unit is in fluidic communication with the assay assembly, wherein the movement is produced via an actuating element controlled by a controller, and wherein the assay assembly further comprises a reagent chamber, a reaction site, and a fluidic channel that connects the reagent chamber with the reaction site; allowing the sample to react with a reactant immobilized in the reaction site; moving unreacted reactant to the waste chamber via the actuating element, the waste chamber being in fluidic communication with, but spaced apart from, the assay assembly; moving a reagent from the reagent chamber to the reaction site through the fluidic channel by the actuating element, wherein the assay assembly is configured to yield a fluorescent signal indicative of the presence of the analyte in the sample; and detecting the analyte in the sample by detecting the fluorescent signal.
