Abstract

A disposal apparatus for biosensor includes a coupling member and a capsular wrapper. The capsular wrapper includes a space having a closed end and an open end to hold a biosensor. The coupling member has a coupling portion connecting to the closed end and a test strip adapter with two ends respectively formed a test strip insertion end and a test strip extended slot. The test strip insertion end passes through the slot and inserts into a test strip loading port of the biosensor. The capsular wrapper encases the biosensor to allow the test strip insertion end to insert into the test strip loading port. Through coupling of the test strip adapter, the biosensor can perform testing. After the testing is finished, the coupling member and the test strip can be wrapped together by the capsular wrapper and be discarded, thus avoiding user being contaminating with samples on the test strip.

Claims

1. A disposable apparatus for biosensor, which is installed on a biosensor equipped with a test strip loading port, comprising:

a capsular wrapper which includes a space to hold the biosensor, the space including an open end and a closed end, the open end receiving the biosensor until the biosensor being in contact with the closed end, the closed end including a slot corresponding to the test strip loading port.

2. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 1, wherein the open end of the capsular wrapper includes an inverse folding edge.

3. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 1 further including a coupling member which comprises a coupling portion connecting to the closed end of the capsular wrapper, a test strip adapter which includes two ends formed respectively a test strip insertion end and a test strip extended slot, the test strip insertion end passing through the slot of the closed end to insert into the test strip loading port.

4. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 3, wherein the open end of the capsular wrapper includes an inverse folding edge.

5. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 1 further including a coupling member which comprises a coupling portion which encases one end of the biosensor contacting the closed end and wraps the closed end, the coupling member including a test strip adapter which includes two ends formed respectively a test strip insertion end and a test strip extended slot, the test strip insertion end passing through the slot of the closed end to insert into the test strip loading port.

6. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 5, wherein the open end of the capsular wrapper includes an inverse folding edge.

7. A disposable apparatus for biosensor installed on a biosensor equipped with a test strip loading port, comprising:

a coupling member which includes a coupling portion encasing one end of the biosensor where the test strip loading port is formed, the coupling member including a test strip adapter which includes two ends formed respectively a test strip insertion end and a test strip extended slot, the test strip insertion end being insertable into the test strip loading port.

8. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 7 further including a capsular wrapper which includes a space to hold the biosensor and the coupling member, the space including an open end and a closed end, the open end receiving the biosensor and the coupling member until the coupling member being in contact with the closed end, the closed end including a slot corresponding to the test strip loading port.

9. The disposable apparatus for biosensor of claim 8, wherein the open end of the capsular wrapper includes an inverse folding edge.
