Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 14):
A medical apparatus configured for periodic fluid handling and analysis, the apparatus comprising:\n a disposable cassette configured to interface with a non-disposable instrument, the cassette having a first portion configured to initially accept biological fluid from a source and a second portion configured to present the fluid for analysis; the first portion configured to interface with a fluid movement portion of the non-disposable instrument by accepting a non-disposable control element that actively urges fluid flow through passages forming part of the disposable cassette; the second portion configured to interface with an analysis subsystem of the non-disposable instrument and facilitate fluid analysis by positioning only a selected portion of the fluid in operative analytical engagement with the analysis subsystem; the disposable cassette is configured to fully contain the fluid and maintain a hygienic barrier to reduce fluid contact with the non-disposable instrument; the disposable cassette having a repository to contain and store fluid after it has been analyzed, pending disposal of the disposable cassette, the repository separated from the second portion of the cassette to improve accuracy in measurement of subsequent fluid samples.
