Protective container for holding reusable diagnostic components
First Claim
1. A protective container for holding a reusable control part of a transcutaneous sensor system for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid, wherein the control part includes at least one coupling having at least one sensor coupling for connection to at least one transcutaneous sensor, wherein the protective container comprises:
- at least one container housing, wherein the control part is positionable in the container housing, wherein the container housing is adapted to shield the control part from environmental influences, and wherein the container housing has at least one connector, the connector being connectable to the coupling and sealing the coupling in a media-tight fashion when connected thereto; and
wherein the protective container is adapted to perform a function test of the control part.

Abstract
A protective container for holding a reusable control part of a transcutaneous sensor system for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid is disclosed. The control part includes at least one coupling, which has at least one sensor coupling for connection to at least one transcutaneous sensor. The protective container has at least one container housing. The control part can be held in the container housing. The container housing is adapted to shield the control part from environmental influences. The container housing also has at least one connector which can be connected to the coupling and seals the latter in a media-tight fashion.
