Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and apparatuses in which a diagnostic instrument analyzes data collected over time, and based on that information, disables a bay, suggests a bay, puts a bay on standby or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the method, system and apparatus allows the diagnostic instrument to have higher validity rates in the field and allows the provider to set up service calls, schedule maintenance and perform remote maintenance, as well as other functions based on the data collected over time.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for assessing the integrity of electrical connections between elements of interfacing electronic devices. In some aspects, a system includes an analysis device having electronics that interface with an assay cartridge inserted into the analysis device, wherein the analysis device is configured to conduct a preflight test in which impedance values for each circuit between the assay cartridge and analysis device are rearranged and assessed to determine the electrical connection integrity of the assay cartridge to the analysis device prior to implementing the assay.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for displacing a liquid, gas or solid from a compressible pouch. The compressible pouch is housed in an external housing with holes over the compressible pouch and a label over the external housing/holes and compressible pouch. The label comprises perforations configured to allow a chad to separate but not detach from the label. When a compressive force is applied to the label, the chad separates (but does not detach) from the label allowing the compressive force to be applied to the compressible pouch below and force the fluid, gas or solid from the compressible pouch.
