Abstract
A system for collecting a physiological sample includes a dermal patch configured for attaching to a subject's skin and an applicator for coupling to the dermal patch. The dermal patch includes a reservoir configured to store a processing fluid, a sample collection chamber for receiving the processing fluid and a physiological sample extracted from a subject. The applicator includes at least one actuating lever for activating the dermal patch to receive the physiological sample from the subject and directing the physiological sample into the sample collection chamber.
Claims21
A dermal patch system for collecting a physiological sample from a subject comprising:
- a housing that includes:
- a needle configured to move between an undeployed position and a deployed position, wherein the needle is configured to draw a physiological sample from the subject in the deployed position,
- a reservoir that stores a processing fluid,
- a chamber configured to receive the processing fluid and the drawn physiological sample, and
- a lever configured to move between an undeployed position and a deployed position such that a transition of the lever from the undeployed position to the deployed position releases the processing fluid from the reservoir and moves the needle to the deployed position.
A system for collecting a physiological sample, comprising:
- a dermal patch configured to attach to the skin of the subject, and including:
- a needle configured to move between an undeployed position and a deployed position, wherein the needle is configured to draw a physiological sample from the subject in the deployed position, and
- a storage element configured to absorb the drawn physiological sample, and
- an applicator configured to removably couple to the dermal patch, and including:
- a lever configured to move between an undeployed position and a deployed position such that a transition of the lever from the undeployed position to the deployed position causes the needle to move to the deployed position to draw the physiological sample and facilitate delivery of the drawn physiological sample to the storage element.
