  • Publication number: 20220218229
    Abstract: There is provided a kit of parts for an exhaled breath condensate collection device. The kit comprises a mouthpiece module comprising a breath passageway defined in the mouthpiece module providing fluid conduction from a mouthpiece breath inlet port for receiving exhaled breath to a mouthpiece breath outlet port in use. The kit further comprises a collection vessel for insertion into the device for cooling in use. The collection vessel defines a sealed and resealable chamber for collecting exhaled breath condensate in use. The collection vessel has a vessel breath inlet for admitting exhaled breath into the chamber. The kit of parts is configured such that the collection vessel is: insertable into the device into an sample collection configuration in which the vessel breath inlet is unsealed and in fluid communication with the mouthpiece breath outlet port of the mouthpiece module; and removable from the device in a sample containment configuration in which the collection vessel chamber is resealed.

  • Patent number: 11369285
    Abstract: There is provided a kit of parts for an exhaled breath condensate collection device. The kit comprises a mouthpiece module (100) comprising a breath passageway defined in the mouthpiece module (100) providing fluid conduction from a mouthpiece breath inlet port (122) for receiving exhaled breath to a mouthpiece breath outlet port (124) in use. The kit further comprises a collection vessel (300) for insertion into the device for cooling in use. The collection vessel (300) defines a sealed and resealable chamber for collecting exhaled breath condensate in use. The collection vessel has a vessel breath inlet (326) for admitting exhaled breath into the chamber.

  • Patent number: 11346753
    Abstract: There is provided a kit of parts for assembly into an impactor (100) for aerosol component collection, such as for exhaled breath. The kit of parts is configured such that an impactor component (128) is receivable into the assembly such that, when a sealing component (136) is in a sample collection configuration and an aerosol sample is being received at an aerosol inlet (110) of a housing of the kit, in use, an aerosol flow path (124) of the aerosol sample is directed onto an impaction surface (130) of the impactor component (128) to promote aerosol deposition thereon. The kit of parts is further configured such that the sealing component (136) is changeable in the assembly into a sample containment configuration before removal of the impactor component (128) from the assembly, so as to retain any aerosol components deposited on the impaction surface (130).
