SINGLE USE MEDICAL TEST PACKAGING

摘要

The present disclosure provides systems and devices for maintaining the reagent integrity of a diagnostic test device. In one aspect, the system provides a single-use medical test package that can be implemented to allow for sterile and secure maintenance of a diagnostic test device to ensure the integrity of the device and to provide accurate analyte analysis. The medical test package can be implemented with one or more flexible sheets as a protective layer. The medical test package can also include a flexible supporting sheet on which the diagnostic test device can be secured. Gas may also be used to inflate and pressurize the medical test package in order to prevent deterioration and degradation of the reagents on the test pad.

主权项

1. A system for maintaining the reagent integrity of a diagnostic test device, wherein the system is comprised of:
a) a diagnostic test device comprising one or more test pads, wherein at least one test pad has at least one test reagent thereon; b) an upper flexible sheet; c) a lower flexible sheet; and d) a flexible supporting sheet; wherein the upper and lower sheets are joined to form an hermetically sealed cavity and further wherein the flexible supporting sheet is inside the cavity and attached to a joint formed by the upper and lower flexible sheets, and wherein the supporting sheet substantially bisects the cavity, further wherein the cavity is at least partially inflated with one or more gases creating an inner wall, and wherein the diagnostic test device is removably in contact with the support sheet and the inner walls of the inflated cavity do not contact the diagnostic test device.
