Publication number: 20230001417Abstract: A pierceable cap 11 may be used for containing sample specimens. The pierceable cap 11 may prevent escape of sample specimens before transfer with a transfer device 43. The pierceable cap 11 may fit over a vessel 21. An access port in the shell of the pierceable cap 11 may allow passage of a transfer device 43 through the pierceable cap 11. At least one frangible layer 215, 216 may be configured with cross slits 506 in a particular cross slit geometry. The cross slits 506 may contain an openable portion 644 or be covered by a thin membrane 645. The shell 610 and frangible layer(s) 215, 216 may be integrated into a one piece cap 601, or be separate components 634. The membrane on which the cross slits 506 are placed can be flat or contoured to guide the transfer device 43 to the cross slits 506.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Ammon David Lentz, Kevin Bailey, Dustin Diemert, Joel Daniel Krayer, Laurence Michael Vaughan

Patent number: 10836988Abstract: A customizable laboratory instrument comprising an interior space for receipt of test materials therein. An indented exterior surface of the laboratory instrument defines a boundary surface, a backing surface, and a sidewall. The backing surface is offset from the boundary surface a distance substantially equal to a depth of the sidewall. A panel having an edge is attachable to the sidewall such that a space is formed between the panel and backing surface for receipt of an object therein.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: BECTON DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Scott Shindledecker, Edward Skevington, Brent Ronald Pohl, Dustin Diemert, Thierry Guillet

Patent number: 8387810Abstract: A pierceable cap may be used for containing sample specimens during storage and transport. The pierceable cap may prevent unwanted escape of sample specimen before transfer with a transfer device. The pierceable cap may fit over a vessel. An access port in the pierceable cap may allow passage of a tip of a transfer device though the pierceable cap. A frangible layer may be disposed across the access port. One or more extensions proximate to the frangible layer may be coupled to the pierceable cap by coupling regions or other similar devices. The one or more extension may rotate around the one or more coupling regions during insertion of the transfer device. The movement of the one or more extensions may pierce the frangible layer to create airways and allow air to escape from a vessel at a reduced velocity.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2007Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Dwight Livingston, Dustin Diemert, Ammon David Lentz

Patent number: 8387811Abstract: A pierceable cap maybe used for containing sample specimens during storage and transport. The pierceable cap may prevent unwanted escape of sample specimen before transfer with a transfer device. The pierceable cap may fit over a vessel. An access port in the pierceable cap may allow passage of a tip of a transfer device though the pierceable cap. Multiple frangible layers maybe disposed across the access port. One or more extensions proximate to a lower frangible layer may rotate around one or more coupling regions during insertion of the transfer device. The movement of the one or more extensions may pierce the lower frangible layer to create airways and allow air to escape from a vessel at a reduced velocity. Upper frangible layers may prevent escape of materials from spaces intermediate between the lower frangible layer and the upper frangible layers.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: BD DiagnosticsInventors: Dwight Livingston, Dustin Diemert, Ammon David Lentz
