MULTISTRIP CARTRIDGE

摘要

A test meter for analyzing a body fluid sample applied to a test strip includes an outer housing having an opening, an actuator 116, and a cartridge 100 positioned adjacent the outer housing. The cartridge 100 further includes a dispensing member 140 connected to the actuator 116, a plurality of stacked test strips 160 biased toward the dispensing member 140, and a cartridge outer housing 150 that is adjacent at least a portion of the dispensing member. Each time the actuator is actuated, the dispensing member 140 is rotated to cause movement of one test strip 160A from the plurality of stacked test strips 160 through the opening, and another test strip is biased toward the dispensing member 140.
