APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MAINTAINING STERILITY OF A SPECIMEN CONTAINER |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus includes a fluid reservoir, a sterilization member, and a transfer adapter. The sterilization member operably couples to the fluid reservoir. The sterilization member is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the sterilization member obstructs an inlet surface of the fluid reservoir and maintains the inlet surface in a substantially sterile environment, and a second configuration, in which the inlet surface is unobstructed. The transfer adapter is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a portion of a patient. The transfer adapter is configured to move relative to the sterilization member from a first position to a second position such that a surface of the transfer adapter contacts the sterilization member to transition the sterilization member to the second configuration. The fluid reservoir is placed in fluid communication with the transfer adapter when the transfer adapter is in the second position. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a fluid reservoir having an inlet surface, the fluid reservoir configured to receive a volume of bodily-fluid transferred from a patient; a sterilization member operably coupled to the fluid reservoir, the sterilization member defining at least a portion of a substantially sterile environment, the sterilization member configured to be transitioned between a first configuration, in which the sterilization member obstructs the inlet surface and maintains the inlet surface in the substantially sterile environment, and a second configuration, in which the inlet surface is unobstructed; and a transfer adapter configured to be placed in fluid communication with a portion of a patient, the transfer adapter configured to move relative to the sterilization member from a first position to a second position, a surface of the transfer adapter configured to contact the sterilization member as the transfer adapter moves to the second position to transition the sterilization member from the first configuration to the second configuration, the fluid reservoir being placed in fluid communication with the transfer adapter when the transfer adapter is in the second position. |
