Portable Clinical Analysis System for Immunometric Measurement

摘要

The present invention covers the integration and utility of accelerometer features into a clinical analysis system. For example, measurement of dynamic acceleration and orientation of a blood-testing instrument with respect to Earth's gravitational field may be used to determine reliability of a test procedure and optionally to provide corrective elements thereof.

主权项

1. A portable clinical system for performing an immunoassay, the system comprising:
a test device comprising an immunosensor; and an analyzer comprising:
a port configured to receive the test device; anda computing device configured to:
determine motion of the analyzer during a test cycle of the test device;compare the determined motion to a threshold rate of motion for the test device; andat least one of: (i) provide an alert prompting a user to take corrective action during the test cycle, (ii) correct a result of the immunoassay, and/or (iii) suppress the result of the immunoassay, when the determined motion exceeds the threshold rate of motion.
