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 9):
A system for detecting an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid, the system comprising:\n a sample collection unit configured to receive the sample of bodily fluid; an assay assembly in fluidic communication with the sample collection unit, the assay assembly comprising a reagent chamber, a reaction site, and a fluidic channel that connects the reagent chamber with the reaction site; a waste chamber in fluidic communication with, but spaced apart from, the assay assembly; and a reader assembly comprising a controller, an actuating element controlled by the controller, and a detection assembly, wherein the actuating element is configured to:\n move the sample through the sample collection unit to the assay assembly, such that the sample is allowed to react with a reactant immobilized in the reaction site; \n move unreacted reactant from the assay assembly to the waste chamber; and \n move a reagent from the reagent chamber to the reaction site through the fluidic channel, \n wherein the assay assembly is configured to yield a fluorescent signal indicative of the presence of the analyte in the sample; and wherein the detection assembly is configured to detect the analyte in the sample by detecting the fluorescent signal.
