Abstract

A device includes a pre-sample reservoir, an actuator mechanism, and a diverter. The pre-sample reservoir can be fluidically coupled to a delivery member to receive and isolate a predetermined volume of bodily-fluid withdrawn from a patient. The actuator mechanism is operably coupled to the pre-sample reservoir such that, when actuated, a negative pressure is formed in the pre-sample reservoir that urges the bodily-fluid to flow into the pre-sample reservoir. The diverter can selectively control fluid flow between the delivery member and the pre-sample reservoir. The diverter includes a flow control mechanism that defines a first fluid flow path and a second fluid flow path. The diverter is movable between a first configuration in which the bodily-fluid flows through the first fluid flow path to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second configuration in which the bodily-fluid flows through the second fluid flow path to a sample reservoir coupled to the diverter.

Claims (16)

1 . A bodily-fluid sampling device for procuring bodily-fluid samples with reduced contamination from a patient, the device comprising:

a housing;

a pre-sample reservoir disposed in the housing and configured to receive and isolate a volume of bodily-fluid withdrawn from the patient;

a diverter disposed in the housing, the diverter having an inlet configured to be fluidically coupled to the patient; and

a flow control mechanism coupled to the diverter and configured to transition between a first configuration in which the flow control mechanism prevents bodily-fluid from flowing from the patient to the pre-sample reservoir, a second configuration in which the flow control mechanism and the diverter collectively define a first fluid flow path between the inlet and the pre-sample reservoir that allows the pre-sample reservoir to receive the volume of bodily-fluid, and a third configuration different from each of the first configuration and the second configuration in which the flow control mechanism and the diverter collectively define at least a portion of a second fluid flow path between the inlet and an external fluid reservoir disposed outside of the housing and in fluid communication with the diverter such that bodily-fluid flows from the inlet to the external fluid reservoir via the second fluid flow path,

the flow control mechanism transitioning from the first configuration to the second configuration producing a negative pressure differential between the inlet and the pre-sample reservoir operable to draw the volume of bodily-fluid into the pre-sample reservoir, the flow control mechanism being prevented from transitioning to the third configuration before the second configuration such that the pre-sample reservoir receives the volume of bodily-fluid before bodily-fluid flows to the external fluid reservoir.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the pre-sample reservoir is monolithically formed with the diverter.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the pre-sample reservoir is removably coupleable to the diverter.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the diverter is monolithically formed with the housing.

5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the diverter defines a first outlet in fluid communication with the pre-sample reservoir and a second outlet configured to be coupled to the external fluid reservoir.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the diverter is configured to receive at least a portion of the flow control mechanism.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the flow control mechanism forms a friction fit with the diverter.

8 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an actuator coupled to the diverter and configured to be rotated between a first position in which the flow control mechanism is in the first configuration, a second position in which the flow control mechanism is in the second configuration, and a third position in which the flow control mechanism is in the third configuration.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the movement of the actuator between the first position, the second position, and the third position, rotates the flow control mechanism relative to the diverter between the first configuration, the second configuration, and the third configuration, respectively.

10 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the flow controller and the diverter transition from the second configuration in which the bodily-fluid flows from the inlet, through the first fluid flow path in the housing, into the pre-sample reservoir to the third configuration in which the bodily-fluid flows from the inlet, through the second fluid flow path in the housing, to the external fluid reservoir.
