Point-Of-Care Fluidic Systems And Uses Thereof

Patent No. EP1883341 (titled "Point-Of-Care Fluidic Systems And Uses Thereof") was filed by Labrador Diagnostics on Mar 24, 2006. The application was issued on Aug 12, 2020.

Patent Summary

This system for detecting analytes in bodily fluids comprises an external device, a fluidic device, a reader assembly, and a communication assembly. The fluidic device includes a sample collection unit, an assay assembly containing reactants to generate a signal upon analyte reaction, and an identifier. The identifier triggers the external device to transmit a protocol containing instructions for directing fluid flow. The reader assembly features a detection assembly for sensing the signal, actuating elements for fluid direction, and a controller that executes the protocol's instructions. The communication assembly receives the protocol from the external device and transmits the detected signal back to it. The system enables real-time, point-of-care monitoring of pharmacological parameters, drug efficacy, toxicity, and patient compliance.
