Abstract
This invention provides a fluid sample retrieval kit, including a sample transfer tube, to facilitate a method of confidentially providing laboratory test results to a consumer of the fluid sample retrieval kit. Additionally, this invention provides a method to compare clinical chemistry values from a plurality of consumers for a designated nutritional supplement, or a combination of nutritional supplements. Additionally, this method provides a fluid sample retrieval system.
Claims28
A method of confidentially providing laboratory results to a consumer of a fluid sample retrieval kit, comprising:
- (a) obtaining at least one aliquot of fluid from said consumer of a fluid sample retrieval kit;
- (b) selecting a personal identification number by said consumer;
- (c) labeling said aliquot of fluid with a unique identification number;
- (d) correlating said personal identification number and said unique identification number;
- (e) transmitting said at least one aliquot of fluid to a physically remote laboratory for testing;
- (f) testing said at least one aliquot of fluid for at least one clinical chemistry to obtain at least one clinical chemistry value;
- (g) correlating said at least one clinical chemistry value with said unique identification number;
- and
- (h) electronically providing said at least one clinical chemistry value to said consumer of said fluid sample retrieval kit, in response to receiving said personal identification number.
A method to compare clinical chemistry values from consumers of a fluid sample retrieval kit comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining a plurality of clinical chemistry values from a plurality of consumers of said fluid sample retrieval kit to provide a nutritional supplement database;
- (b) scanning said nutritional supplement database for a designated nutritional supplement;
- and
- (c) providing a report on said plurality of clinical chemistry values for said designated nutritional supplement.
A method to provide a plurality of databases comprising:
- (a) providing a fluid sample retrieval kit for obtaining at least one aliquot of fluid from a consumer;
- (b) testing said at least one aliquot of fluid for at least one clinical chemistry to obtain at least one clinical chemistry value;
- (c) obtaining a plurality of clinical chemistry values for more than one consumer to provide a confidential clinical chemistry result database;
- and
- (d) transferring the data from said confidential clinical chemistry result database to a database for designated nutritional supplements.
A method to determine the effect of a designated nutritional supplement on a subject comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of fluid sample retrieval kits for obtaining at least an aliquot of fluid from a subject;
- (b) testing said at least one aliquot of fluid for at least one clinical chemistry to obtain at least one clinical chemistry value;
- (c) designating at least one nutritional supplement used by said subject;
- (d) providing at least one personal health profile factor for said subject;
- (e) correlating a plurality of clinical chemistry values from a plurality of subjects;
- and
- (f) correlating a plurality of clinical chemistry values with a designated nutritional supplement to determine the effect of a designated nutritional supplement on a subject.
A method to compare clinical chemistry values from a plurality of consumers of a fluid sample retrieval kit for at least one designated nutritional supplement;
- (a) providing a fluid sample retrieval kit for obtaining at least one aliquot of fluid from a consumer of a fluid sample retrieval kit;
- (b) obtaining at least one aliquot of fluid from said consumer;
- (c) designating at least one nutritional supplement taken by said consumer;
- (d) obtaining a plurality of clinical chemistry values from more than one consumer of said fluid sample retrieval kit to provide a nutritional supplement database;
- (e) scanning said database for a designated nutritional supplement;
- and
- (f) providing a report on said plurality of clinical chemistry values for said designated nutritional supplement.
A fluid sample retrieval system comprising:
- (a) a fluid sample retrieval kit containing at least one tube to receive an aliquot of bodily fluid;
- (b) means to obtain an aliquot of bodily fluids;
- (c) means to transmit said aliquot of bodily fluid to a physically remote testing laboratory;
- (d) means to designate nutritional supplements consumed by said consumer;
- (e) means to detect or determine at least one clinical chemistry value for said aliquot of bodily fluid by said physically remote laboratory;
- (f) means to retrievably file at least one of clinical chemistry value correlated with a personal identification number;
- (g) means for said consumer of said fluid sample retrieval system to access at least one clinical chemistry value associated with said personal identification number;
- (h) means for obtaining personal health profile factors;
- (i) means to sort said at least one clinical chemistry value by said designated nutritional supplement;
- and
- (j) means to sort said at least one clinical chemistry value by said personal health profile factors.
