Fluid specimen collection device

摘要

A drug test device for bodily fluids, such as urine, includes a cup and a removable lid which houses one or more test strips. The lid is releasably locked onto the cup so as to align dipping ends of the test strips exposed through an underside of the lid with a position stabilizer, thereby causing the dipping ends to be located downwardly and submerged in fluid when the device is placed on its side in a reactive position. The position stabilizer may comprise a sidewall indentation that reduces the internal volume of the cup and keeps the cup from rolling when placed on its side.

主权项

1. A fluid collection device, comprising:
a cup defining a reservoir and comprising a top, a bottom, and a sidewall having a tapered position stabilizer, the position stabilizer comprising an indentation, the indentation forming first and second ridges adapted to abut, at least in part, a generally horizontal surface on which the device rests when tilted, where a first distance between the first and second ridges at the top of the cup is less than a second distance between the first and second ridges at a bottom of the cup, the indentation being configured to prevent the cup from rolling when the cup is tilted to rest the stabilizer against the generally horizontal surface; and a lid removably coupled to the cup, the lid comprising a test strip and an opening accessible to the test strip, the lid being movable with respect to the cup from an unlocked position to a locked position, where the opening is located adjacent a tilt portion of a periphery of the lid and axially aligned with the position stabilizer; wherein the lid is configured to be releasably locked in the locked position such that the tilt portion of the periphery of the lid is aligned with the position stabilizer to direct fluid within the cup towards the opening in the lid, wherein the indentation provides continuous fluid communication between the test strip and the reservoir.
