Body Fluid Sampling Device And Methods Of Use

US Patent:
7901363, Mar 8, 2011
Filed:
Jan 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/753973
Inventors:
Brent G. Duchon - Cypress CA, US
Joel S. Douglas - Groton CT, US
Jeffrey N. Roe - San Ramon CA, US
Ryszard Radwanski - Lublin, PL
Andrew M. Drexler - Los Altos Hills CA, US
Assignee:
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. - Indianapolis IN
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600583, 606181
Abstract:
A device for sampling body fluid includes a housing having a sleeve at a forward end thereof which is displaceable in response to being pressed against a user's skin to trigger the firing of a lancet. After the lancet is removed from the incision, the sleeve is repeatedly pressed against the skin to depress a ring of body tissue in surrounding relationship to the incision to express body fluid outwardly through the incision. A pusher member is then actuated to push a capillary tube through a front end of the housing for drawing-in body fluid. The lancet is a disposable lancet which includes a body supporting a skin-lancing member and the capillary tube. The disposable lancet passes through an upper end of a lancet carrier when being installed or removed. The device cannot be armed until the disposable lancet is installed in the housing, because the capillary tube functions to push a safety device to a non-safety position.

Methods And Apparatus For Sampling And Analyzing Body Fluid

US Patent:
7247144, Jul 24, 2007
Filed:
Jul 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/612852
Inventors:
Joel S. Douglas - Groton CT, US
Jeffrey N. Roe - San Ramon CA, US
Ryszard Radwanski - Lublin, PL
Brent G. Duchon - Cypress CA, US
Assignee:
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. - Indianapolis IN
International Classification:
A61B 5/00, A61B 17/14, A61B 17/32
US Classification:
600583, 606181
Abstract:
A sampling device for sampling body fluid includes a lancet for making an incision, a capillary tube for drawing-up body fluid from the incision, and a test strip affixed to an upper end of the capillary tube for receiving the fluid. An absorbent pad can be disposed between the test strip and capillary tube for spreading-out the fluid being transferred to the test strip. An on-site analyzer such as an optical analyzer and/or an electrochemical analyzer can be mounted in the device for analyzing the fluid. Alternatively, a test strip can be slid through a slot formed in the bottom end of the device so that by passing the device against the skin after an incision has been formed, the test strip will directly contact body fluid emanating from the incision.

Self Powered Fire Alarm

US Patent:
7097531, Aug 29, 2006
Filed:
May 21, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/849667
Inventors:
Brent Duchon - Cypress CA, US
Jeff Buss - Newport Beach CA, US
International Classification:
G08B 17/02
US Classification:
446106, 116 5, 116158
Abstract:
An improvement to a self powered fire alarm consisting of an improved housing sealing method that improves the reliability of the alarm by preventing insect infiltration. Additional improvements consist of an improved alarm activated notification, along with the incorporation of a wind down prevention detail and a retainer for the winding key. Each of these improvements provides additional benefit to the user.
