  • Patent number: 10458972
    Abstract: A system and method for augmenting or adding to the information used by an in-vitro diagnostic or other diagnostic device to generate results of a test is disclosed. A diagnostic device is capable of generating test results based on a sample, such as a sample provided by a patient, and is also capable of receiving additional information to enhance the results providable by the device. For example, an in-vitro diagnostic device is configured to read a lateral flow assay test, and is configured to receive additional diagnostic, network, test identification, or environmental information over a network. Using both the result of the diagnostic test and the additional information, the disclosed device provides more thorough, accurate, and reliable diagnostic information. The results generated by the device may be communicated to an appropriate remote device to enhance the results obtainable by such tests.

  • Publication number: 20190271653
    Abstract: Low-cost assay test strip readers are disclosed. Such readers enable creation of profiles of analyte reactions detected on an assay test strip utilizing a simple detector fixedly mounted to a body of the reader. The detector may be a single detector, such as a photodetector, which detects an optical signal at a single point. The assay test strip is inserted and/or removed from the test strip reader and the detector detects the optical elements of the strip during such insertion and/or removal. The movement of the test strip with respect to the body enables the detector to scan a length of the test strip, such that a one-dimensional profile of the optical signals can be generated. The reader may convert the detected profile into a displayable indication of analyte concentrations for diagnostic purposes. Moving the test strip relative to an array of detectors enables creation of a two-dimensional profile.

  • Publication number: 20190187139
    Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and usage techniques for modular lateral flow assay reader devices that can receive a number of different modules having a barcode scanning input device and optional network connectivity capabilities. A barcode scanning module can provide a simple input method that reduces errors compared to manual data entry. A network connectivity module can enable transmission of test results over a public network for standardizing, tracking and electronically connecting test results from assay reader devices located throughout a network. Such devices can programmatically implement a simplified workflow whereby pressing a single button readies the device for imaging, analyzing, and data storage/transmission and, in some implementations, configures the device to operate in one of a plurality of device operation modes.
