摘要: Substantially moisture-proof, airtight dispensers for both storing and dispensing several flattened articles such as diagnostic test strips is disclosed. The dispensers fits comfortably in a user's hand and can be configured to provide a test strip either by a squeezing motion or by flipping a trigger at the top of the dispenser, for example with the user's thumb. The dispensers are easy to manually operate and are thus well suited for diabetics suffering from nerve damage in their extremities and other complications resulting from the disease. When used with a separate meter, an integrated RFID tag can provide automated coding of the test strip information into the meter.

摘要: A substantially moisture-proof, airtight dispenser for both storing and dispensing several flattened articles such as diagnostic test strips. The inventive dispenser includes a novel pivotable housing that a user need merely grab and squeeze to eject a test strip. Independent movement of the user's fingers to push a button or turn a knob is unnecessary to dispense a strip, which makes the present invention well suited for diabetics suffering from nerve damage in their extremities and other complications resulting from the disease. The invention includes a novel flexible arm member and pusher head that engage and push an article from the dispenser as the two parts of the housing are pivoted together. The articles are dispensed through an exit that is configured with a novel flexible seal that maintains the dispenser substantially airtight. Several inventive seal embodiments and methods of making the same are disclosed.

摘要: A test strip for measuring a signal of interest in a biological fluid when the test strip is mated to an appropriate test meter, wherein the test strip and the test meter include structures to verify the integrity of the test strip traces, to measure the parasitic resistance of the test strip traces, and to provide compensation in the voltage applied to the test strip to account for parasitic resistive losses in the test strip traces. In addition, conductive traces are positioned to ensure structural interrogation of all electrodes and traces present upon the test strip.
摘要翻译: 当测试条与适当的测试仪器配合时,用于测量生物流体中感兴趣的信号的测试条,其中测试条和测试仪器包括用于验证测试条迹线的完整性的结构,以测量寄生电阻 的测试条迹线,并且提供对施加到测试条的电压的补偿,以考虑测试条迹线中的寄生电阻损耗。 此外,定位导电迹线以确保在测试条上存在的所有电极和迹线的结构询问。

摘要: A test strip with a sample receiving chamber having a novel flared portion that terminates in a sample receiving opening. The flared portion provides a reservoir from which sample fluid can be drawn into the capillary or sample receiving chamber. The wider opening provided by the present invention is easier to “target” with a sample fluid. In preferred embodiments, the hydrophilic reagent layer extends to the dosing end or side of the test strip and further promotes wicking of the sample into the sample receiving chamber and thus reduces dose hesitation. In other preferred embodiments, a tapered dosing end is provided on the test strip in combination with the flared portion, and this combination create a test strip that will draw sample fluid into the sample receiving chamber regardless of where along the dosing edge of the test strip the fluid sample makes contact.
