Patent number: 11808757Abstract: The present disclosure provides a biological fluid collection device, such as a blood collection device, that is adapted to receive a multi-component blood sample having a cellular portion and a plasma portion and quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively separate the plasma portion from the sample. A pressure gradient can be applied across a separation member to facilitate movement of the plasma portion ahead of the cellular portion. The present disclosure allows for both passive and active plasma separation and dispensing.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Kishore K. Bokka Srinivasa Rao, Daniel J. Marchiarullo, Milan Ivosevic

Publication number: 20230122154Abstract: A sample collection container configured to be removably mounted to a blood collection device includes: a housing having a flow channel extending through the housing having an inlet and an outlet and a container body removably connected to the housing. The container body includes an open top, a closed bottom, and an interior wall extending between the top and the bottom defining a collection cavity. When the housing is connected to the container body, the outlet of the flow channel is in fluid communication with the collection cavity. The sample collection container also includes at least one additive dispersing object positioned to be contacted by blood flowing from the blood collection device through the flow channel and/or into the collection cavity. The at least one additive dispersing object includes an additive composition to be mixed with the blood passing along the flow channel and into the collection cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Alex F. Fricke, Anthony V. Torris, Kishore K. Bokka Srinivasa Rao, Scott Wentzell, Vlad Yakhnich

Publication number: 20220313130Abstract: A device for obtaining a biological sample, such as a capillary blood collection device, that has the ability to lance and squeeze the finger, collect the sample, stabilize the sample, and subsequently dispense the sample in a controlled manner is disclosed. The device also simplifies and streamlines the capillary blood collection by eliminating workflow variabilities which are typically associated with low sample quality including hemolysis and micro-clots.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Milan Ivosevic, Jayeon Kim, Kishore K. Bokka Srinivasa Rao, Michel Bruehwiler

Publication number: 20220015674Abstract: A specimen transfer device adapted to receive a blood sample is disclosed. The specimen transfer device includes a housing and an actuation member. A deformable material is disposed within the housing and is deformable from an initial position in which the material is adapted to hold the sample to a deformed position in which at least a portion of the sample is released from the material. A viscoelastic member is disposed within the housing between the material and the housing and between the material and the actuation member. The viscoelastic member is engaged with the actuation member and the material such that movement of the actuation member from a first position to a second position deforms the material from the initial position to the deformed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Milan Ivosevic, Bradley M. Wilkinson, C. Mark Newby, Kishore K. Bokka Srinivasa Rao
