Method and apparatus for lighted test strip

Номер: US20130190579A1
Автор: Abner D. Joseph, Brian A. Heald
Принадлежит: Roche Diagnostics Operations Inc

A test strip with a sample chamber is secured to a meter. The sample chamber in the portion of the test strip that extends out of the meter is illuminated by transmitting light from a light source inside the meter internally through the test strip towards the sample chamber. By way of analogy, the test strip acts in a fashion similar to a fiber optic cable or optical wave guide by transmitting the light from the meter to the remotely located sample chamber that extends outside the meter. The user is then able to easily see the sample chamber of the test strip in dark conditions so that the user is able to readily align the sample chamber with the drop of fluid on the skin as well as view the sample chamber in order to ensure proper filling. The light also illuminates a test strip slot into which the test strip is inserted.

An IV line identification system enables ready identification of an IV line and its associated fluid source and output from other IV lines with their fluid sources and outputs. The IV line identification system includes lights that are coupled to a specific IV line. The lights can identify specific locations on the IV line, such as an entry end by an IV bag and an output end by a needle or port associated with a patient. The lights can also identify the portions of the IV line that enter and exit a pump. The lights can also be selectively turned on when a specific IV line needs to be identified, and turned off when the IV line does not need to be individually identified. The lights may be colored to distinguish between the lights associated with another IV line.
