Multi-stage oral-fluid testing device

A testing device for collecting and testing a bodily fluid for substances, the testing device comprising:

• a cap assembly, including:
• a cap having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and configured to receive a portion of a body assembly at the second end, the cap defining a first cap cavity at the first end and a second cap cavity at the second end;
• a fluid container disposed in the first cavity, wherein the fluid container includes a sealing membrane and contains a mixing fluid for mixing with a bodily fluid;
• and
• a plunger with an end wall movably disposed in the second cavity, wherein the plunger has a first position and a second position, and wherein at the first position, the end wall of the plunger is configured to not compress a collection sponge attached to the body assembly when received by the cap.

A multi-stage, bodily-fluid collection and testing device for collecting and testing a bodily fluid for substances, the testing device comprising:

• a body assembly, including:
• a body portion including a fluid flow path extending from a collection sponge cavity to a test strips channel;
• a collection sponge attached to the body portion in the collection sponge cavity for absorbing a bodily fluid from a donor;
• and
• one or more test strips for receiving the bodily fluid and presenting a visual indicator indicating the presence of a predetermined substance;
• and
• a cap assembly, including:
• a cap having a first closed end and a second open end, and configured to receive a portion of the body portion, the cap defining a cap cavity;
• a fluid container having a sealing membrane and containing a mixing fluid for mixing with the bodily fluid, the fluid container being housed within the cap cavity;
• and
• a plunger movably disposed in the cap cavity, wherein the plunger includes a piercing end, wherein the plunger is configured to move from a first position to a second position, at the first position the piercing end is spaced apart from the sealing membrane, and at the second position the piercing end penetrates the sealing membrane.
