US Patent:

20120080330, Apr 5, 2012

Filed:

Sep 30, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/895502

Inventors:

Benjamin M. Rush - Oakland CA, US
Craig W. Sharp - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

B65D 85/38

US Classification:

206305

Abstract:

In some aspects of the present disclosure, analyte test strip containers, and methods of manufacturing the same, are provided. The analyte test strip containers may include an interior side of a base that varies in height. In some aspects of the present disclosure, inserts are provided. The inserts serve to provide the cavity floor with a varying height with respect to a longitudinal axis of the container. In some aspects of the present disclosure, analyte test strip container systems, and methods of making the same, are provided. The analyte test strip container systems include a container and insert that situates within the container to provide a cavity floor that varies in height.

Appl. No.:

12/895484

Inventors:

Ken Doniger - Menlo Park CA, US
Craig W. Sharp - San Francisco CA, US
Benjamin M. Rush - Oakland CA, US

International Classification:

G01N 31/22

US Classification:

422401

Abstract:

In some aspects, analyte test strip dispensers are provided. In some aspects, the analyte test strip dispensers store a plurality of analyte test strips and dispense one or more analyte test strips when needed. The analyte test strips may be stacked with an analyte test strip at one of the stack engaged with a dispensing element. The dispensing element may be slid relative to the dispenser to displace the analyte test strip out of the dispenser. In some aspects, an elastomeric cap having strong barrier properties for water vapor and moisture is provided. The elastomeric cap may be undersized in relation to the dispenser and stretched to couple to the dispenser, thus providing a pressure-fit seal along with strong barrier properties to water vapor and moisture.

Hyun Cho - Berkeley CA, US
Todd Winkler - Cameron Park CA, US
Paul Legg - McKinney TX, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/145

US Classification:

600309

Abstract:

An analyte monitoring system comprising: an on-body housing; an analyte sensor coupled to the housing; an electrical output interface disposed on an outer surface of the housing; and a removable adaptor coupled to the housing. In one embodiment, a portion of the analyte sensor extends from the housing for implantation into a patient's body. The electrical output interface is electrically coupled to the analyte sensor. The removable adaptor is mechanically coupled to the housing and electrically coupled to the electrical output interface. The removable adaptor serves as a data conduit between the analyte sensor and a remote device.

Inventors:

Frank David Fujimoto - Fremont CA, US
Craig W. Sharp - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/08
B65D 25/10
B65H 3/34

US Classification:

221199, 221251, 220694

Abstract:

An analyte test strip vial having a restrictor to dispense analyte test strips in a controlled manner. In general, the restrictor includes one or more openings (e.g., central and/or arc-shaped openings) that are appropriately sized to facilitate the dispensing of a manageable number of analyte test strips from the vial container. The restrictor may also include one or more surface features (e.g., tabs, cavities, and/or tapered surfaces) to facilitate in the removal of analyte test strips, and the matting and/or removal of the restrictor from the vial container.
