Embodiment Construction

[0028] Devices for dispensing test strips and methods of use are provided. The subject device is characterized in that it has a base and a cover, wherein the cover includes a test strip option. The subject device is also characterized as having a test strip holding device which may include one or both of a cover with elastically deformable walls and a gravity controlled test strip holding mechanism. In the subject method, the test strip container with at least one test strip is positioned such that the at least one test strip contained in the base can be moved into the cover so that a test strip can be selected for use. The subject method can also include positioning the device in a particular orientation such that the selected test strip remains in a fixed position. The invention also includes kits comprising the subject devices.

[0029] Before the present invention is described, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to particular embodiments described,...

Abstract

Devices for dispensing test strips and methods of using the same are provided. The subject devices are characterized by having a base and a cover, where the cover includes a test strip selecting element. The subject devices may also be characterized by having a test strip holding means, which may include a cover with resiliently deformable walls and / or a gravity controlled test strip holding mechanism. In the subject methods, a test strip container with at least one test strip is provided and placed into a position that causes at least one test strip contained in the base to move into the cover so that a single test strip is selected for use. The subject methods may also include positioning the device in a particular orientation that causes a selected test strip to be held in a fixed position. The subject invention also includes kits which include the subject devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates to test strip containers. Background technique [0002] Analyte concentration determination in physiological samples is becoming increasingly important in today's society. Such assays are useful in a variety of applications, including clinical laboratory testing and home testing, among others, where the results of such testing play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions. Analytes of interest include glucose for diabetes treatment and cholesterol for cardiovascular monitoring. In response to the growing importance of analyte concentration determination, a variety of devices and devices for analyte concentration determination in clinical and home testing have been developed. [0003] Before commencing testing, a user attempting to determine the presence and / or concentration of an analyte in a physiological sample must first obtain a test strip, apply the sample to the test strip and obt...
