Abstract:
An apparatus includes a fluid reservoir, a sterilization member, and a transfer adapter. The sterilization member operably couples to the fluid reservoir. The sterilization member is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the sterilization member obstructs an inlet surface of the fluid reservoir and maintains the inlet surface in a substantially sterile environment, and a second configuration, in which the inlet surface is unobstructed. The transfer adapter is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a portion of a patient. The transfer adapter is configured to move relative to the sterilization member from a first position to a second position such that a surface of the transfer adapter contacts the sterilization member to transition the sterilization member to the second configuration. The fluid reservoir is placed in fluid communication with the transfer adapter when the transfer adapter is in the second position.

Claim (Index 8):
A system for parenterally-procuring bodily-fluid samples with reduced contamination from microbes exterior to the bodily-fluid source, comprising:\n a sample reservoir including an inlet surface; a handle configured to be placed in fluid communication with a patient, the handle having a coupler, a fluid reservoir, and an actuator, the fluid reservoir disposed within the handle and configured to receive a volume of bodily-fluid from the patient, the actuator configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the coupler is fluidically isolated from the fluid reservoir, and a second configuration, in which the coupler is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir; and an adapter configured to be coupled to the coupler of the handle, the adapter at least temporarily coupled to a sterilization member and to the sample reservoir such that the inlet surface is maintained in a substantially sterile environment collectively defined by the adapter and the sterilization member prior to the adapter being coupled to the coupler of the handle, the sterilization member being at least partially removed from the adapter when the adapter is coupled to the coupler of the handle.
