Abstract: A syringe operable to rupture the amniotic sac and extract a pure, uncontaminated sample of amniotic fluid. The syringe includes a housing having an open insertion end opposite a handle end. The open insertion end includes a recessed portion with puncture member and fluid opening disposed therein. A plunger disposed within the tubular housing is operable draw the amniotic sac into the recessed portion of the syringe until it contacts the puncture member. The puncture member is operable to pierce the amniotic sac, and the plunger further provides a means for drawing a sample of amniotic fluid through the fluid opening and into the fluid receiving area within the syringe housing.

Abstract: A device comprising a substrate including a processor, and the substrate is configured to couple to a container. A sensor is coupled to the processor and configured detect a change in a parameter of an environment including the container, and to generate a sensor signal in response to the detected change. An application running on the processor is configured to receive an input comprising a time interval corresponding to content of the container, track elapsed time of the time interval, and generate an alert signal upon detecting expiration of the time interval and the sensor signal. An indicator is coupled to the processor and configured to activate in response to receiving the alert signal. The activated indicator is configured as an alert to administer at least a portion of the content.
