ABSTRACT:
The Success of the Personal Fertility Testing and Reproductive
Health System (PFT 1-2-3) and the Future Potential for Saliva
Based Membrane Diagnostic Technology And Substance Abuse
Testing
SUBTITLE: PFT 1-2-3 and Advanced Diagnostic and Drug Testing Devices
PRESENTER:
4. Third, the use of advanced membranes in products like the PFT may open the future to new kinds
of non-invasive testing products and methodologies, including low cost, reliable and accurate
substance abuse testing systems.
This technology relates to an advanced membrane health analysis system that is applicable to
both men and women. In particular the device is a portable, hand-held, integrated unit which is
manufactured out of plastic. The unit can be disposable for hygienic purposes, or cleaned or sterilized
for repeated use as desired. The device has numerous aspects. These main aspects include: (1) The
use of any body fluid, but especially saliva to perform the
analysis test upon. (2) The current device is a plastic,
completely integrated, portable, self-contained and self-
focusing Examination System which relies on a visual
reference system making it language independent; (3)
The current device uses a Test Area Section with
replaceable slides where different, specific wavelengths
of light are employed; (4) The embodiment of compound
test areas in the current device allows multiple Tests to
be conducted simultaneously with the capability to
immediately perform two or more Tests simultaneously
using different body fluids or secretions; (5) An
electronic interface device is under development which
can provide a novel battery powered microprocessor
system to automatically perform Testing or Batch
Testing.
The PFT may be used without extensive training. Furthermore, the device and its
associated processes are based upon a visual reference system designed to be language independent
so that it can be used anywhere in the world and in areas where the user may in fact be illiterate.
Because the PFT can tell the user when positive ovulation has occurred it can help a
woman prevent or postpone pregnancy, or assist a woman in becoming pregnant naturally, as desired.
The Invention is accurate during any reproductive situation, including breastfeeding, pre-menopause,
after the discontinuation of medication including, contraceptive pills, and during times of illness or
stress. These are all time which medical research cofirm a women can become pregnant. For women
having difficulty becoming pregnant the PFT can help identify many specific infertility problems
relating to reproductive health.
The PFT can support or reduce the use of other contraceptives and support or reduce
the use of other ovulation test methods. However, the PFT may also be used as a stand-alone birth
control device or reproductive health tool. Other prior art devices are physically invasive, time
consuming, cumbersome and onerous. Traditional prior art devices interrupt or halt intimacy. For
women using the PFT , loving and sexual feelings can flow into spontaneous lovemaking. The PFT
not only avoids the interrupting of lovemaking, but it also eliminates the mess and often harmful side
effects of contraceptive devices and chemicals. The PFT ’s visual display gives information directly
to the woman, thus providing self-confidence, independence and security knowing just when she can
or cannot get pregnant.
Given the President’s mandates regarding the problem of teenage unwed pregnancy in the
Discussion of the commitment needed for future applications of the Saliva Based Membrane
Medical Diagnostic Technology And the potential to create new testing systems for substance abuse
diagnostics.
