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 8):
A method of detecting an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid, the method comprising:\n providing the sample of bodily fluid into a fluidic device having a housing and being configured to run an assay for detecting the analyte in the sample, wherein the fluidic device comprises a sample collection unit, an assay assembly, and a waste chamber; inserting the fluidic device into a reader assembly, wherein the reader assembly comprises an identification detector, a communication assembly, and a detection assembly; detecting an identifier of the fluidic device by the identification detector; transmitting, by the identification detector, the identifier to the communication assembly; transmitting, by the communication assembly, the identifier to an external device; receiving, from the external device, a protocol to execute on the fluidic device based on the identifier; allowing the sample of bodily fluid to react with a reactant immobilized in the assay assembly of the fluidic device, wherein the assay assembly is configured to yield a fluorescent signal indicative of the presence of the analyte in the sample of bodily fluid; and detecting, by the detection assembly, the analyte in the sample by detecting the fluorescent signal.
