People who are frequently in contact with the test strip 2 for a prolonged period of time have a greater risk, and with the users exposed to the infectious and chronic toxic inflicting environment the risk of infection in the hospital and community in a large scale also increases.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The primary object of the present invention is to provide a biosensor disposal apparatus to remove test strips safely to protect user's safety.
  • To achieve the foregoing object the disposal apparatus for biosensor according to the invention is located on a biosensor equipped with a text piece loading port to receive a test strip to perform testing. It includes a capsular wrapper and a coupling member that can be used individually on the biosensor or used independently.
  • When the capsular wrapper is used individually on the biosensor it has a space to hold the biosensor. The space has an open end and a closed end. The open end can receive loading of the biosensor until in contact with the closed end. The closed end has a slot corresponding to the test strip loading port to receive the test strip into the test strip loading port.
  • When the coupling member is used individually on the biosensor, it has a coupling portion encasing one end of the biosensor where the test strip loading port is formed. The coupling member also has a test strip adapter with two ends formed a test strip insertion end and a test strip extended slot. The test strip insertion end can be inserted into the test strip loading port thus allowing the test strip to insert into the biosensor.
  • When used in a jointed manner, the coupling portion of the coupling member can couple with closed end of the capsular wrapper and form integrally. The test strip insertion end passes through the slot to insert into the test strip loading port.
  • The capsular wrapper can also encase the biosensor first, and then the coupling portion encases one end of the biosensor contacting the closed end and wraps the closed end.
  • The coupling portion can also encase first the biosensor, with the capsular wrapper providing a space to hold the biosensor and coupling member. The open end can receive loading of the biosensor and coupling member until the coupling member is in contact with the closed end.
  • Thus, the biosensor of the invention can contain the capsular wrapper and coupling member or anyone of them individually. After testing is finished users can fold the capsular wrapper inversely. When the capsular wrapper is detached the test strip or the coupling member contained the test strip can be removed without contact, or when no capsular wrapper is used the coupling member can be detached to remove the test strip to avoid direct contact with the test strip.
