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 15):
A fluidic device having a housing and being configured to run an assay for detecting an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid within the housing, the fluidic device 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; and a waste chamber in fluidic communication with, but spaced apart from, the assay assembly, wherein the assay assembly is configured to:\n receive the sample from the sample collection unit, wherein the sample is moved from the sample collection unit by an actuating element controlled by a controller; \n allow the sample to react with a reactant immobilized in the reaction site, wherein unreacted reactant is moved to the waste chamber in fluidic communication with, but spaced apart from, the assay assembly by the actuating element; \n allow a reagent from the reagent chamber to react at the reaction site, wherein the reagent is moved from the reagent chamber by the actuating element; \n yield a fluorescent signal indicative of the presence of the analyte in the sample; and \n detect the analyte in the sample by detecting the fluorescent signal.
