ABSTRACT:
An adaptor is provided to facilitate delivery of a fluid specimen from a syringe to a point-of-care testing cartridge. The adaptor includes a tube with an outlet end, an inlet end and a passage extending between the ends. The outlet end of the tube is dimensioned for mating with the entry port of the testing cartridge. The inlet end of the tube is dimensioned for mating with the syringe. The adaptor further includes a support wall extending transversely from the tube and at least one positioning wall extending from the support wall. The positioning wall is spaced transversely from the outlet of the tube by a distance substantially equal to the distance between a side wall of the testing cartridge and the entry port of the testing cartridge. A bottom wall and a lock arm extend from the positioning wall. The bottom wall of the adaptor engages the bottom wall of the testing cartridge and the lock arm of the adaptor engages the top wall of the testing cartridge.
