Patent number: 11402369Abstract: An apparatus for measuring blood clotting time includes a blood clot detection instrument and a cuvette for use with the blood clot detection instrument. The cuvette includes a blood sample receptor-inlet; a channel arrangement including at least one test channel for performing a blood clotting time measurement, a sampling channel having at least one surface portion that is hydrophilic, communicating with the blood sample receptor-inlet and the at least one test channel, and a waste channel having at least one surface portion that is hydrophilic, communicating with the sampling channel; and a vent opening communicating with the sampling channel. The sampling channel, the vent opening and the waste channel, coact to automatically draw a requisite volume of a blood sample deposited at the blood receptor-inlet, into the sampling channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY COMPANYInventors: Gregory M. Colella, Henry D. Huang, Anthony F. Kuklo, Jr., Dimitri Shishkin, Maria Figueroa, James A. Mawhirt

Patent number: 10994277Abstract: An environmental control system for use in a clinical analyzer module includes an upper deck environmental subsystem comprising a far field sensor, one or more heaters, one or more spine cooling fans, and one or more in-line fluid heat exchangers. The far field sensor is configured to acquire measurements of ambient temperature in the upper deck environmental subsystem. The heaters are configured to generate hot airflow based on the measurements of ambient temperature from the far field sensor. The spine cooling fans are configured to operate in a manner that mixes the hot airflow from the heaters with cool airflow based on the measurements of ambient temperature from the far field sensor. The in-line fluid heat exchangers are configured to heat fluids used in reactions performed on the clinical analyzer module to a constant temperature.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Michael Starr, Dimitri Shishkin, Shriram Patel, Beri Cohen, William Carpenter
