Abstract:
A method of extracting and analyzing bodily fluids from a patient at the point of care for the patient is provided. The method comprises establishing fluid communication between an analyte detection system 334, 1700 and a bodily fluid in the patient. A portion of the bodily fluid is drawn from the patient. The drawn portion is separated into a first component of the bodily fluid, while the analyte detection system 334, 1700 remains in fluid communication with the patient. The analyte detection system 334, 1700 analyzes the first component to measure a concentration of an analyte.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system that samples a body fluid of a patient. The system includes a fluid handling system (10) having one or more fluid passageways. The system further includes a pump system for infusing an infusion fluid by way of a fluid handling system into a patient (P) through one or more fluid passageways . The system further includes a pump system for obtaining a sample of body fluid by way of a fluid handling system from a patient through one or more fluid passageways. The obtained sample is no more than 5 milliliters in volume. The system further includes an analyzer (140) for analyzing at least an analyzed portion of the obtained sample by way of an analyte detection system operatively associated with the fluid handling system to determine a concentration of at least one analyte.

Disclosed are further means for separating plasma and serum and a spectroscopic analyzer.
Abstract:
A method of determining the analyte concentration of a test sample is described. A temperature gradient is introduced in the test sample (102). Infrared radiation detectors measure radiation at selected analyte absorption peak, and reference wavelengths (104). Reference, and analyte signals are detected. In the presence of the selected analyte, parameter differences between reference, and analytical signals are detectable. These parameter differences, having a relationship to analyte concentration, are measured, correlated, and processed to determine analyte concentration in the test sample (106). Accuracy is enhanced by inducing a periodically modulated temperature gradient in the test sample. The analytical, the reference signals may be measured continuously, and the parameter difference integrated over the measurement period to determine analyte concentration.

Abstract:
A reagentless whole-blood analyte detection system that is capable of being deployed near a patient has a source capable of emitting a beam of radiation that includes a spectral band. The whole-blood system also has a detector in an optical path of the beam. The whole-blood system also has a housing that is configured to house the source and the detector. The whole-blood system also has a sample element that is situated in the optical path of the beam. The sample element has a sample cell and a sample cell wall that does not eliminate transmittance of the beam of radiation in the spectral band.
