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
