  • TITLE A BLOOD EXTRACTION SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTING AND
  • the present invention relates generally to finger-pricking devices for extracting capillary whole blood for in-vitro diagnostic testing. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices that prick fingers, collect and dispense capillary whole blood on a test media for the purpose of carrying out in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing.
  • IVD in-vitro diagnostic
  • Safety lancets have been widely used in hospitals where finger pricking is carried out on a large scale by the medical practitioners. These safety lancets consist of needle and an actuation system that are housed in a casing. This design provides safety to the medical practitioners by avoiding the handling of the needles and concealing the needles at all times.
  • the blood extracted by the finger-pricking procedure will normally be collected with a capillary tube or a disposable pipette after which the blood will be dropped or spotted on the test media.
  • the blood should not be placed direcdy from the pricked finger to the test media because the skin has been breached and there is great possibility that the chemicals or reagents on the test media may enter the body.
  • Some molecular diagnostic testing requires that blood be dried and spotted on a piece of filter paper, after which a fraction of the blood spotted paper is punched and placed inside specific reagents to retrieve DNAs (deoxyribonucleic acids) for amplification through PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and then further analysis.
  • This blood attainment procedure involves multiple steps and devices which may pose inconvenience and blood contamination hazard during the course of juggling in between the devices. This complicated procedure is not conducive for home users who need to carry out IVD tests by themselves.
  • the advancement of point-of-care testing requires that the blood volume for each test to be precise so that the diagnostic results can be accurate.
  • the reservoir has to be carefully filled Up to avoid forming air bubbles so that the blood can reach the end of the oudet at the bottom prior to the blood transfer to the test media when it is made in contact with the bottom oudet.
  • the reservoir has to be carefully filled Up to avoid forming air bubbles so that the blood can reach the end of the oudet at the bottom prior to the blood transfer to the test media when it is made in contact with the bottom oudet.
  • US patent 5,951,492 awarded to Mercury Diagnostics, Inc. reports a prior art device that include a disposable lancet integrated with a capillary tube which is downwardly slideable within the casing to reach the blood droplet.
  • the capillary tube is friction fitted into the disposable lancet, which allows sliding movement.
  • the device has to be equipped with a drop detection system so that the user knows when to slide the capillary tube downward within the casing to collect the blood.
  • the capillary tube is connected to a test strip and only acts as a conduit to transfer the blood droplet from the skin to the test strip.
  • US patent 7,901,363 B2 awarded to Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. teaches a similar prior art that extract and collect blood with a lancet device and a slidable capillary tube which can be extended out of the casing to collect blood by capillary action.
  • the device is different from that reported in patent '492 in that the capillary tube is extended much further outside the casing to collect the blood on the skin.
  • US patent 8,092,394 B2 awarded to Microsample Ltd. provides a prior art device that comprises a tube with a needle disposed within the tube such that when the needle moves rearward, a suction pressure is generated.
  • the needle can be extended to lance a skin site for obtaining a blood drop, and then retracted to generate the suction pressure so that the blood can be drawn into the tube.
  • This arrangement is similar to that reported in patent '492 except that the tube is fixed on the skin but the needle is moving forward and rearward, while in patent '492 the tube was slided to reach the blood drop.
  • US patent 5,014,718 awarded to Safety Diagnostics, Inc. reported a blood extraction and collection article.
  • the prior art article required the user to use his finger to press and deform the prior art article so that the finger could reach a needle for pricking. Blood would come out and be collected in the article instantaneously without having to remove the finger.
  • This prior art article required manual pressing of needle which may be quite painful.
  • Current lancets use a spring to provide great speed, i.e. 1 m/s to 6 m/s, to momentarily prick the skin for attaining blood samples. The great penetrating speed reduces the pain to the rriinimum.
  • the blood collection of the prior art article would be blocked by the finger.
  • the prior art does not address the blood sampling issue where blood samples are needed to be precisely quantified, collected and then dispensed into a test media for IVD testing.
  • the blood sample on the pricked skin site should not be transferred direcdy to the test media because chemicals and reagents may enter the body from the breached skin site.
  • current safety lancets on the market do not have measurement and collection function. Therefore, a user has to juggle between the safety lancets, the pipette and the test devices for carrying out an IVD test. Therefore, there is a long-felt need for a safety lancet that lances a finger, collects the exact volume of the blood sample, and finally dispenses the blood sample into a test media.
  • the present invention is related to a safety lancet incorporating a blood collection means.
  • the blood collection means is a measurement and collection tube.
  • the incorporated blood measurement and collection tube enables a user single-handedly to prick his finger with safety lancet, milk the lanced site to obtain a desirable size of blood droplet, and collect and measure at the same time the desired volume of blood with the present invention.
  • the user ma estimate the blood volume collected in the tube by seeing the blood column's movement relative to the graduation scale on the device, and he may stop the collection process by separating the tube from the blood.
  • the capillary tube may be made to have a predetermined capacity to collect only the predetermined amount of blood sample by filling up the predetermined capacity for a particular IVD test. This is particularly crucial for advanced point-of-care testing systems which provide quantitative and high accuracy results. Result accuracy often requires that the blood sample to be exact. Lastiy, the user may dispense the collected blood onto a test media by making physical contact between the tube's opening and the test media.
  • the present invention comprises (i) a casing 30, wherein the casing further comprising a first casing component 40 which is substantially flat and its inner surface 44 is incorporated with a spring compartment 48 and a collection tube holding structure 49, and a second casing component 50 which is also substantially flat and its inner surface 54 is incorporated with a collection tube holding chamber 62, a spring compartment 64 comprising a spring tab 66, a main sliding groove 68, and a pair of secondary sliding grooves 70 and 72; (ii) a needle body 80 that is slidable longitudinally, the needle body 80 further comprising a spring butt 82 at one end and a needle 84 within a protective cap 86 at the opposite end and a pair of wings 88; (iii) a spring 100 which is disposed longitudinally with one end attached to the spring tab 66 and the other end attached to the spring butt 82 on the needle body 80, wherein the spring 100 provides the potential energy when it is compressed by the needle body 80, which is converted into kinetic energy

Hence, accurate amount of blood sample can be attained.
  • the blood collection means 20 is a disposable pipette 200 comprising a tubing 220 and a bulb 240.
  • the bulb 240 is substantially exposed outside the casing 30 so that the user can squeeze the bulb 240 and slowly release it to suck the blood into the tubing 220. After the blood is collected, the pipette 200 may be taken out from the casing 30 for subsequent analytical processes.
  • the advantages of using a pipette 200 over a blood collection tube are that the blood volume of collection can be significandy larger and that the dispensing of blood can be carried out by squeezing the bulb 240.
  • the dispensing can only be done by contacting the opening end 22 with the test media. This is particularly troublesome if there is more than one sample dispensing because physical contact may contaminate the blood sample in the capillary tube.
  • the blood collection means 20 is a filter paper 300 which is disposed the same way the tube and the pipette 200 are disposed in the previous embodiments.
  • Blood sample can be deposited onto the filter paper 300 and let air dry to form dried blood spot (DBS).

Abstract

La présente invention concerne de manière générale des dispositifs de piqûre de doigt pour prélever du sang total capillaire en vue d'une analyse diagnostique in vitro. Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne des dispositifs qui piquent le doigt, prélèvent et distribuent du sang total capillaire sur un milieu d'analyse afin d'exécuter une analyse diagnostic in vitro (IVD). Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, le moyen utilisé pour prélever le sang est un tube de mesure et collecteur. Le tube de mesure et collecteur de sang incorporé permet à un utilisateur de se piquer le doigt d'une seule main avec une lancette de sécurité, de presser le site percé pour obtenir une dimension souhaitable de gouttelette de sang, et de prélever et de mesurer en même temps le volume souhaité de sang avec la présente invention. L'utilisateur peut estimer le volume de sang prélevé dans le tube en visualisant le mouvement de la colonne de sang par rapport à l'échelle de graduation sur le dispositif, et il peut arrêter le processus de prélèvement en séparant le tube du sang. Sinon, le tube capillaire peut être amené à avoir une capacité prédéterminée afin de ne prélever que la quantité prédéterminée d'un échantillon de sang pour une analyse IVD particulière. Ceci est particulièrement important pour des systèmes d'analyse avancés sur le lieu d'intervention, qui fournissent des résultats quantitatifs de grande précision. La précision du résultat nécessite souvent le remplissage de la capacité prédéterminée par l'échantillon de sang. Enfin, l'utilisateur peut distribuer le sang prélevé sur un milieu d'analyse en établissant un contact physique entre l'ouverture du tube et le milieu d'analyse.
