Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/424,624, filed Nov. 7, 2002, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- The present invention relates generally to the field of personal medical devices, and more particularly to a device for the disposal of used blood glucose test supplies and other materials that may be contaminated with blood or other body fluids.
- Many diabetics use lancets and test strips to monitor their blood glucose levels. Other persons sample blood and/or other body fluids for a variety of health-related purposes. With increased concerns regarding disease transmission from contact with blood and body fluids, the importance of safe and proper disposal of potentially contaminated medical supplies and materials has been recognized.
- For example, in order to prevent inadvertent contact with the sharp tip of a lancet and because lancets and test strips may be contaminated with the user's blood after testing, it has been found desirable to provide a disposal device for the sanitary storage and disposal of test strips and/or lancets after their use. In order to encourage use, it is also desirable that the device be simple and inexpensive in construction and use, and be disposable when filled to avoid the need for emptying contents.
- It is to the provision of an improved disposal device meeting these and other needs that the present invention is primarily directed.
- Briefly described, in preferred forms, the present invention provides a compact, portable container for the disposal of used glucose meter test strips and/or used lancets. In an example embodiment, the device of the present invention comprises a permanently closed container with one or more small openings or ports designed to accept test strips, lancets, and/or other items for disposal into an interior chamber of the container. Those ports are preferably configured such that they do not allow these disposed items to easily be removed or fall out of the container, where they might cause contamination or spread of pathogens. Likewise, the used supplies preferably are not accessible to the user nor others that may come in contact with the container, thereby avoiding the risk of inadvertent or intentional re-use of supplies intended for single use only. The device is preferably formed of a one-piece, unitary molding that is sufficiently simple and inexpensive to produce to allow economical disposability of the device when completely or partially filled. The device is preferably relatively small, for example less than about 75 mm×35 mm×35 mm, and more preferably less than about 50 mm×25 mm×25 mm, to permit convenient storage and transport, and to allow it to be stowed in the case for a glucose testing meter or other portable personal medical monitoring device.
- In further aspects of the invention, the device optionally further includes a clip or other attachment feature that allows attachment to a typical glucose meter system, a case for a meter or portable medicine kit such as an insulin medication kit, or to a user's belt or purse. The container preferably also has markings, labeling and/or coloring to indicate that it potentially contains biohazard material. The container preferably is not reusable once filled with disposed supplies, and cannot be opened for access to its contents. In example embodiments, the device of the present invention includes one or more openings configured to closely match the cross-sectional geometry of a standard blood glucose test strip, for example about 1 mm×3 mm, In further example embodiments, the container of the present invention has a similar shape and functionality to that described above, but additionally or alternatively has one or more openings of a size and shape to closely match the geometry of standard lancets and/or other test items, for example about 5 mm×5 mm.
- In another aspect, the invention is a disposal device having a shell enclosing an interior chamber. An opening is preferably provided through the shell to permit a disposed item to be deposited into the interior chamber. The shell preferably further includes a fin projecting into the interior chamber from adjacent the opening to resist removal or discharge of disposed items deposited into the interior chamber.
- In still another aspect, the invention is a disposal device including a shell surrounding an interior chamber, and having a slot provided through the shell. The slot is preferably bounded by confronting first and second sides that flex to an open configuration to permit objects to pass through the slot into the interior chamber, and that return to a normally closed configuration under their own resilience to prevent discharge or removal of objects from the interior chamber through the slot.
- In another aspect, the invention is a disposal device including a housing surrounding an interior chamber, an opening through the housing, and means for resisting removal or discharge of items from the interior chamber through the opening. The means for resisting removal or discharge of items can take various forms, including without limitation, a fin projecting into the interior chamber from adjacent the opening; confronting opposed sides bounding the opening, at least one of the confronting opposed sides being flexible; and/or an obliquely angled panel of the housing adjacent the opening.
- In another aspect, the invention is a disposal device including a housing having a top, a bottom, at least one sidewall, and a panel angled obliquely relative to the top and to the sidewall; and also including an opening through the housing, the opening located through or adjacent the obliquely angled panel.
