The invention relates to a method of assembling a cap () of a closure device () with an open end () of a housing container () for forming a container system () for body fluids, tissue parts or tissue cultures, whereby a relative rotating or pivoting movement is effected between the cap () and the housing container () about a common longitudinal axis (). In order to generate the relative movement, a pressing force (F) is applied to at least one of the components to be assembled directed more or less in the direction of the longitudinal axis (). The invention further relates to a cap () for forming the closure device (), a housing container () and a container system () obtained as a result, comprising at least the cap (), a sealing device () device retained in it and the housing container ().

Method for the assembly of a cap with a receptacle

The invention relates to a method of collecting saliva from the oral cavity for detecting a test substance, comprising the steps of (a) cleaning the oral cavity, (b) stimulating saliva secretion with a saliva-collecting solution, (c) removing the saliva-saliva collecting solution mixture from the oral cavity and collecting it in a container (), (d) transferring the saliva-saliva collecting solution mixture into a sealable collection vessel.

In-vitro diagnostic medical devices for determining saliva volume

The invention relates to a holding device () with a holding container () for a holding vessel, in particular a blood sample collecting tube, in which the holding container () surrounds a holding chamber () with a container wall (), and in the direction of a longitudinal axis () comprises a proximal and a distal end () spaced part from one another, with a needle holder () for a needle arrangement () that can be attached thereto, with a first adjusting device () for the needle holder () and with a cover element () for the needle arrangement () mountable on the needle holder () in the disposal position of the needle holder (). The cover element () is arranged in the position of use of the needle holder () adjacent thereto on the side furthest from the proximal end () in the holding chamber () and is arranged with an if necessary releasable locking device () between the cover element () and the holding container () in the position of use relative to the latter, whereby between the needle holder () and the cover element () a further adjusting device () is arranged.

Receiving device comprising an adjustable covering element

A separating mechanism for inserting in a receptacle chamber of a container receptacle having a longitudinal axis comprises two adjacently disposed components and a sealing device which is directed towards an internal wall of the container receptacle. The components have two ends spaced apart from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and a flow passage extends therebetween. The components can be applied against the internal wall by at least one pressing element and, in an initial position, the flow passage is established between the adjacently disposed components spaced apart from one another by the pressing element.

Holding device, particularly for bodily fluids, comprising a separating device, and a separating device therefor

A holding device () for assembling a medical device with a receiving vessel () and a holder () for a cannula (), directed towards an open front end () of the receiving vessel (). A flow-through bore of the cannula () is connected by a connecting passage () between the holder () and a front wall () of the receiving vessel (), incorporating a flow passage () of a holding part () arranged eccentrically with respect to a longitudinal axis () of a receiving chamber () of the receiving vessel (). Disposed between the connecting passage () and the receiving chamber () is an openable hose valve (). Disposed on the jacket portion () of the receiving vessel () is a first connecting part (), whilst a second connecting part () is disposed on a support part () of the holder (). A continuous circumferential gas-tight and liquid-proof joint is provided between the holder () and the receiving vessel ().
