Patent number: 12195240Abstract: A package includes a flexible body configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The body includes an open first end, a closed second end, and sides extending between the first end and the second end. The package also includes a closure connected to the body having a first end, a second end, and a slit extending at least partially between the first end and the second end of the closure. The closure is configured to transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure retains the body in the collapsed configuration sealing the open first end of the body, and an open configuration upon application of a biaxial force to the first end and the second end of the closure, which causes the body to transition to the expanded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Thotapalli Suryakiran, Sai Goutham Nuvvula, Sriram R

Patent number: 12193817Abstract: A biological fluid collection device (10) that produces a stabilized biological sample with head-to-tail uniformity through the capturing of a high concentration front and subsequent redistribution of the high concentration front throughout a biological fluid is disclosed. The biological fluid collection device includes an inline mixer (16) used for head-to-tail mixing of a concentrated flow front. The mixing is achieved via a two-stage process. First, a front fraction of the flow is captured within a centered mixing chamber (30) via capillary assisted flow action. Second, the captured front volume is then slowly released throughout a small exit hole (36) and recombined with the rest of the flow volume that was diverted around the centered mixer chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Milan Ivosevic, Ryan W. Muthard, Alexander James Blake

Publication number: 20250012824Abstract: An automated pre-analytical processing method and an apparatus for pre-analytical processing of samples to be forwarded to an adjacent analyzer for analysis. Rack label information is read and communicated to a processor. From the rack label information, the processor determines where to route the rack. The pre-analytical system has a rack robot that conveys racks to discrete locations depending upon the routing information assigned to the rack by the processor. The pre-analytical system has an automated station that reads the labels of individual sample containers in the rack that are brought to the automated station on instructions from the processor. Depending on the type of sample container and the type of sample disposed therein, the samples are either prepared for analysis by the automated station or the sample containers are directly passed through the automated station. Prepared samples and passed through samples are passed individually to a batching rack.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Michael T.

Patent number: 12186544Abstract: An injection assembly includes a syringe barrel (12) having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle hub (20) supporting the needle and coupled to the distal end of the syringe barrel (12). A sleeve (32) is positioned on the syringe barrel and needle hub for sliding between a first position where the needle is covered and a second position exposing the needle. The sleeve (32) is biased to the extended position to cover the needle. The sleeve has a distal end (38) and a proximal end (40). During use, the syringe is positioned against the skin of the patient so that distal end of the sleeve contacts the skin of the patient before the needle so that lateral or angular force applied relative to the surface of the skin is absorbed by the sleeve to inhibit sliding of the sleeve and resist bending of the needle during insertion.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Andrew Allegretti, Peter Girgis

Publication number: 20250001156Abstract: A disinfection and flushing device for an intravenous patient connector requires only a single coupling of a disinfection cap of the device to the patient connector, both to scrub the patient connector and to administer flushing solution through the connector via a flush syringe that is already coupled to a housing portion of the device. The disinfection cap and housing portions of the device are coupled together during the initial patient connector scrub and flush operation. Thereafter, in some embodiments, the housing and its attached, spent flush syringe, are selectively separable from the disinfection cap portion of the device, so that the disinfection cap remains in place on the patient connector. In other embodiments, the entire device, including its cap, housing and the flush syringe that is coupled to the housing, are removed from the patient connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Praveen Nalawade, Shishir Prasad, Joyce L.

Patent number: 12181392Abstract: Methods for preparing a biological sample for testing by Maldi where such methods are selected based on sample parameters. Maldi scores are obtained for a range of sample parameters (e.g. McFarland, dispense volume and number of dispenses). From the data, sample preparation parameters can be selected for a biological sample being prepared for Maldi testing. One sample preparation strategy uses multiple dispenses of sample with an intervening drying step, which yields more accurate Maldi scores, particularly for samples at the low range of McFarland values (e.g. below about 2).Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Timothy Wiles, John D.
