Abstract

A test strip container is disclosed. It is adapted to individually receive a plurality of test strips in a sealed fashion. A foil seal and / or mechanical seal may be provided that allows access / exposure to one test strip at a time. The container may also include a waste receptacle that can be closed-off for safe storage of spent test strips. The container may be used separately from a meter / lancing device which accepts and uses test strips or the container may itself be at least partially loaded into a meter for a more direct interface: The subject devices as well as methodology associated with their use is described. Kits including at least one subject device are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods of storing, dispensing and disposing analytical test strips. Background technique [0002] Analyte concentration determination in physiological samples is increasingly important to today's society. This assay is used in many ways, including clinical laboratory tests, home tests, etc., and the test results play an important role in the diagnosis and management of various diseases. Analytes of interest include glucose for diabetes management, cholesterol for monitoring cardiovascular status, and the like. Because of this importance of analyte concentration determination, many analyte concentration determination protocols and instruments have been developed for clinical and home testing. [0003] In determining the concentration of an analyte in a physiological sample, the physiological sample must first be obtained. Obtaining samples often involves bulky and complicated devices that may not be easy to use or ma...
