Abstract:
A specimen processing cartridge includes a reservoir having a fluid inlet, an elastic diaphragm, and a fluid outlet. The reservoir is operable to receive a volume of liquid from the fluid inlet, and the fluid outlet is positioned along a fluid flow path between the reservoir and a downstream reservoir. The cartridge includes a dissolvable membrane that occludes flow through the fluid outlet when the dissolvable membrane is in a first, undissolved state, and that permits flow from the reservoir to the downstream reservoir when in a second, dissolved state. The elastic diaphragm is operable to pressurize the reservoir upon receiving the volume of liquid when the dissolvable membrane is in the first, undissolved state, and is operable to contract and propel at least a portion of the volume of liquid from the reservoir to the downstream reservoir when the dissolvable membrane is in the second, dissolved state.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the fluid flow path comprises a wicking pad that is operable to receive liquid from the downstream reservoir, and wherein a first portion of the wicking pad is positioned below the viewing area when the diagnostic device is in a wicking orientation, and wherein the diagnostic device further comprises at least one storage reservoir positioned within a corresponding at least one actuation port, the method further comprising:\n inserting the diagnostic device into a mating adaptor having at least one actuation post corresponding to each of the at least one actuation ports; and orienting the mating adaptor above the diagnostic device, wherein the step of inserting the diagnostic device into the mating adaptor comprises applying a hydraulic force to each of the at least one storage reservoir by inserting at least one actuation post into each of the at least one actuation ports, wherein application of the hydraulic force propels a liquid stored within each of the at least one storage reservoir into the intermediate reservoir and positively pressurizes the intermediate reservoir.
