Irrigation and/or aspiration devices and methods may be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially, or concurrently. The devices and methods may provide a base with a removable head, and adapted for partial or complete separation of the irrigation and aspiration functions. The devices and methods can be configured to aspirate and/or irrigate the nasal and sinus cavities. The devices and methods may be manually and/or automatically controlled. The devices and methods may include removable, and/or replaceable, and/or refillable, and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. The device head and/or aspirant reservoir may comprise a diagnostic device, i.e., test device and/or container after use of the devices and methods.

1. A kit of devices to provide an irrigation and aspiration system, the kit comprising: a head,an aspirant reservoir within the head, the aspirant reservoir adapted to contain aspirated fluid,at least one nozzle extending from the head, the nozzle including an aspirant lumen, the aspirant lumen adapted to provide fluid communication between the aspirant reservoir and an aspirant port,a diagnoser within the head for testing the aspirated fluid, wherein the diagnoser comprises an actuator on the head,a body, the body adapted to releasibly couple to the head, the body including a pump adapted to draw fluid into the aspirant port and through the aspirant lumen and into the aspirant reservoir,a controller to operate the pump adapted to draw aspirated fluid, andinstructions for use describing the operation and use of the irrigation and aspiration system, the instructions comprising the operations of: positioning the nozzle on or in an orifice, using the controller to activate the pump to draw fluid from the orifice, through the nozzle, and into the aspirant reservoir, using the hand-held test device to provide a sample of the aspirated fluid to the diagnoser, testing the aspirated fluid while the fluid remains in the housing, and providing an indication of the results of the testing. 2. The kit of claim 1, further comprising a hand-held housing, the housing including the head and a base, the head and base being adapted to be releasably coupled to each other at an interface region. 3. The kit of claim 2, further comprising a barrier within the housing adapted to retain liquid in the aspirant reservoir and allow gas to pass out of the aspirant reservoir. 4. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser comprises at least one of a test strip, an electrical chip, a chemical, and a genetic plate. 5. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser is contained within the head. 6. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser is adapted to provide test results. 7. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser is contained within the aspirant reservoir. 8. The kit of claim 7, wherein the diagnoser includes a sub-chamber within the aspirant reservoir, the sub-chamber adapted to deliver a predetermined volume of aspirated fluid to the diagnoser. 9. The kit of claim 8, wherein the sub-chamber includes a port in fluid communication with the aspirant reservoir that allows negative pressure to control sub-chamber filling. 10. The kit of claim 8, further comprising a flexible portion adapted to be pressed to facilitate at least one of sub-chamber filling and evacuation of the aspirated fluid to the diagnoser. 11. The kit of claim 8, further comprising a flexible portion adapted to induce the addition of a diagnostic test reagent/primer into the sub-chamber to then be delivered to the diagnoser. 12. The kit of claim 2: further comprising a power source within the housing. 13. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser accommodates microbiologic tests including influenza A and B, avian flu, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), adenovirus, Legionella, CNV, EBV, Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus, S. pneumoniae, N. meningitides, mycoplasma, Staphloccus aureus, Malaria, HIV, rhinovirus, coccsackie virus, smallpox, anthrax, botulinum toxin, ricin, ebola, rabies, brucellosis, (plague) yersinia pestis, coxeilla burnetti (Q fever), T2 mycotoxins, francisella tularensis (tularemia), viral equine encephalitis, viral hemorrhagic fever, and burkholdria mallei (glanders). 14. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser accommodates toxicologic and/or chemical tests including amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, tetrahydrocannabinol, acetaminophen, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, propoxyhenone, tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, ethyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, ketones, glucose, hypoglaecemics, cytokines, interleukins, insulin, Hemoglobin A1C, electrolytes, human choreonic gonadotropin (pregnancy test), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T3 blood test, T4 blood test, c-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). 15. The kit of claim 1, wherein the diagnoser accommodates real time polymerase chain reaction tests and/or immunoassays for viruses, bacteria, and cancers. 16. The kit of claim 1, further comprising the pump within the housing adapted to expel irrigation fluid from an irrigant reservoir, the irrigant reservoir adapted to contain irrigation fluid. 17. The kit of claim 1, wherein the nozzle further comprises an irrigant lumen adapted to provide fluid communication between an irrigant reservoir and an irrigant port. 18. The kit of claim 2, wherein the interface region comprises a non-fluid flow component and a gas flow component, and wherein the interface region couples the head to the base. 19. The kit of claim 2, wherein the interface region comprises a seal between the head and the base, wherein the seal is adapted to allow a force exerted on the base to be transferred to the head, and wherein the seal is adapted to allow an aspiration pressure from the base to draw a gas out of the aspiration reservoir and into the base.
