Method And Apparatus For Coagulation Based Assays

View page
US Patent:
6451610, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Apr 14, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/291776
Inventors:
Anne Jessica Gorman - Jamesburg NJ
Robert Samo - Lakewood NJ
John Gorman - Jamesburg NJ
Assignee:
International Technidyne Corporation
International Classification:
G01N 3386
US Classification:
436 69, 436164, 436165, 422 58, 422 73, 356246, 435 13, 73 6441, 73 6443, 600369
Abstract:
An activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) test is described which employs fresh, whole blood that has not been anticoagulated. The method employs a disposable cuvette having specific reagents placed therein. A sample of whole blood is introduced into the cuvette which is drawn into at least one conduit by a pneumatic pump. Initially, the calcium in the sample is chelated at a first reaction site in the conduit, and thereafter is moved through the conduit to a second reaction site where the sample is coagulated by an APTT reagent. After a predetermined incubation time, the sample is moved to a third reaction site where it is recalcified. Clotting time is measured from the time that the sample is recalcified to the time that clot formation is visibly detected.

Blood Coagulation Time Test Apparatus And Method

US Patent:
53023480, Apr 12, 1994
Filed:
Dec 10, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/988672
Inventors:
Robert Cusack - Edison NJ
Frank M. Laduca - East Brunswick NJ
Robert J. Samo - Lakewood NJ
Assignee:
ITC Corporation - Edison NJ
International Classification:
G01N 2103
G01N 3386
US Classification:
422 73
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for performing a coagulation time test on a sample of blood wherein the blood is deposited in a fluid reservoir and disposable cuvette. Within the cuvette is formed a capillary conduit have at least one restricted region. The cuvette is inserted into a testing machine which engages the cuvette and draws blood from the fluid reservoir into the capillary conduit. The blood is then caused to reciprocally move within the capillary conduit whereby the blood is forced to traverse the restricted region. The testing machine measures the time required each time the blood is caused to traverse the restricted region. When a measured time is a predetermined percentage longer than an immediately preceding time, coagulation is considered to have occurred and the overall coagulation time is displayed to the operator.

Disposable Slicing Lancet Assembly

US Patent:
53144414, May 24, 1994
Filed:
Oct 16, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/962284
Inventors:
Robert Cusack - Edison NJ
Robert Samo - Lakewood NJ
Assignee:
International Technidyne Corporation - Edison NJ
International Classification:
A61B 1732
US Classification:
606182
Abstract:
A lancet device uses a planar blade that implements an incision in the skin of a patient using a slicing action. There is a blade support arm pivotably secured within a hollow housing. The pivot connection between the blade support arm and the housing is formed by a pivot pin which extends from the housing and is positioned in a slot receptacle formed on the blade support arm. The pivot pin is free to reciprocally move within the slot receptacle as the blade support arm pivot about the pivot pin. The rotation of the blade support arm about the pivot pin is implemented by a bias spring. The path traversed by the blade support arm as it pivots is controlled by a groove located on the interior surface of the housing which engages a projection that extends from the blade support arm. As such, when the support arm pivots from a first position to a second position, the projection on the blade support arm traverses the groove in the housing. The action of the projection of the blade support arm following the groove in the housing causes the slot receptacle on the blade support arm to reciprocate.
